Hi, 

As you can see the image above, the median value is overlapped in the figure. The median value was displayed by "DISPLAYSTATS=(Median)", I want to reduce the size of the value. Can you help me?

Below is my program:

proc template;
define statgraph boxplot;
begingraph;
layout overlay /XAXISOPTS = (DISPLAY=all label="Scheduled Visit" TICKVALUEATTRS=(size=5pt))
YAXISOPTS = (LINEAROPTS=(VIEWMIN= &vmin. VIEWMAX= &vmax. MINORTICKCOUNT=1 MINORTICKS=TRUE
TICKVALUELIST=(-50 -40 -30 -20 -10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150))
label="Change from Baseline &unit."
LABELSPLITCHAR="!" LABELSPLITCHARDROP=TRUE LABELPOSITION=CENTER LABELFITPOLICY=SPLITALWAYS);
boxplot x=AVISIT y=chg / DATALABEL=chg legendlabel="" DISPLAYSTATS=(MEDIAN) ;

endlayout;

endgraph;
end;

run;

proc sgrender data=all template=boxplot;
by page;
run;

Currently, there are no options to direct control the text attributes from DISPLAYSTATS output. However, you can work around this by computing the median externally using the PROC MEANS or PROC SUMMARY procedures, match-merging that column with your original data, and then using an AXISTABLE to display the values. You be able to control the text attributes on the AXISTABLE via the statement's VALUEATTRS option. 

 

Let me know if you have any questions about this approach.

Thank you for your confirmation and suggestion! I will update to use AXISTABLE.
