Dear All,

 

I would like to seek your help on adjusting the X-axis tickvalues direction in order to add space between month 30 (in column 1) and Baseline (in column 2).

Hi,

 

The gap could be increased with columgutter. If you don't want to increase this gap to avoid lose space. Also you could try to add the option TICKVALUEFITPOLICY= ROTATEALWAYS  to try to force to rotate. I think that only can be used in versions 9.4.

Really thanks for your quick and professional advice. The problem is resolved.

I believe suggestion by Rodriguez would work.  Alternatively, you could set the xaxis offsetmax for the left cell and offsetmin for the 2nd right cell to push the markers furthur into each cell.  Personally, I do not prefer rotated tick values, but that would work.  Another way would be to allow tick value splitting by setting the TickValueFitPolicy.  In that case you would have to provide whitespace for "Month 30".  All the Month values will get split.
