I have the following code, with a vbarparm and a scatterplot. If I remove the scatterplot, I get a nice graph with no extra lines; just the border around the graph. If I uncomment the scatterplot, that works, except now I have an extra line - presumably some padding between pre-existing lines. The bars now come from an origin line that is some distance above the box around the graph.
Is there any way to remove that line and/or padding? I'm not entirely sure why it exists in the first place. I do want the bars to originate from the bottom of the box line, not to originate from a nonexistent x axis line.
The general concept here is that I'm placing stat test results over the bars, and since I'm using groupdisplay=cluster I cannot use datalabel; so scatter with a position of 105 seemed most reasonable as a solution. I'd be happy to consider other solutions if there is a better way to do this.
Thanks!
