Modify proc lifetest axis lables and titles

I need to modify the Label and x / y axis of the Kaplan Meier curve. I modify the template due to restrictions on my system.

Codes I have tried -

title 'KM';
axis1 label= ("yaxis");
axis2 label= ('xaxis');

proc lifetest data=graph3  DESCRIPTION='xyz'
maxtime =1000  plots=(survival ( atrisk=0 to 2500 by 250 outside nocensor ) );
time time*status(0);
strata class;
/*weight wgt;*/
/*title 'KM curve';*/
/*title2 'xyz';*/
/*axis1 label=( 'xaxis');*/
/*label time = 'days';*/
run;

Nothing seems to work.

I also need to modify the strata label names as well.

Any other commands that I can use?

Please see: https://documentation.sas.com/?cdcId=pgmsascdc&cdcVersion=9.4_3.4&docsetId=statug&docsetTarget=statug_kaplan_sect036.htm&locale=en

The plots do not use traditional SAS Graph options. You can find examples of changing things for the displays at the above link.

Yes. Refer to the chapter that @ballardw mentions. I wrote and revised that chapter over the course of several years before I retired from SAS. It has every KM plot modification that I ever heard that customers wanted to make. You might want to start with the examples here. https://documentation.sas.com/?cdcId=pgmsascdc&cdcVersion=9.4_3.4&docsetId=statug&docsetTarget=statug_kaplan_sect015.htm&locale=en
