SGPLOT graph names variables orders by Q3

JulieM — Mon, 25 Jan 2016 09:16:46 GMT

Maybe a trivial question, but how can I make the graphs (scatterplots) generated from SGPlot to show the BY variables as the graph title and not "Variables ordered by Q3"? This came about after I used PROC Transpose to change my data from wide to long format and after which I sorted the response variable according to a categorical grouping with PROC Sort.

I can't find anything on this in the documentation or on the web and I'm getting desperate 😞

Thanks.

Your question isn't clear to me, but at a guess:

proc sgplot ...;

by avariable;

title "The by variable value here is #byvar1"; /* Note you can also use #byval1 */

scatter x=... y=...;

run;

Another guess: when you use PROC TRANSPOSE, the new variables are given a default label. If you don't like the label on the axes, you can use the XAXIS and YAXIS statements to change them:

proc sgplot;

scatter x=x y=y;

xaxis label="My X label";

yaxis label="My Y label";

run;
