PROC SGPLOT axis markers versus grid lines

[rafikghazaryan9]

Hi
In my graph I need to display Y axis -8 to 8 by 2 but need horizontal grid lines -8 to 8 by 1 with no label.
Any ideas?

Thanks

You can control most of that with the YAXIS statements. Try REFTICKS and the GRID option and DISPLAY= to control the labels/texts. What have you tried so far?

Dear Reeza
I tried using grid gridvalues options. Did not help.
I need to display in Y axis -8 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 8 but grid lines need for -8 -7 -6 -5 ...... 8 and without labeling odd points

Can you post an example of what you've tried perhaps with the sashelp.class data set so we can try it as well? Note the options I've stated above so far.

One "simplistic" way is to set y-axis values=(-8 to 8 by 2) with grid option.  Then add y reflines at the other places and set the refline attributes to the same as the grid lines.

  refline -7 -5 -3 -1 1 3 5 7 / lineattrs=graphgridlines;

or, just draw the reflines for all values, or from a column that has these values as observations. 

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
scatter x=height y=weight;
yaxis values=(0 to 200 by 40) grid;
refline 20 60 100 140 180 / lineattrs=graphgridlines;
run;

I want to add to Sanjay's example by mentioning that you can use the SEQUENCE notation on the REFLINE statement as well:

refline (-7 to 7 by 2) / lineattrs=graphgridlines;

or

refline (20 to 180 by 40) / lineattrs=graphgridlines;
