Ah yes, I forgot to put the VIEWMIN and VIEWMAX values in for the y-axis. I've added several macro variables for min/max values to use in the VIEWMIN/VIEWMAX options below.  There are more streamlined ways to do this but I'm making it more verbose to read easier to what I'm doing.  Look for the VIEWMIN and VIEWMAX options below as this sets what is visible in the axis.

 

As for the ylabel being spaced a bit.  This is because it doesn't exist in the same space as the y-axis tick marks.  The wider the tickmarks are the further the y-axis label will be.  It won't look as bad when there are actual tick values showing up appropriately, but the only real way to make it closer is to use annotation which is another animal.  I can explain how to do that if needed, but try the changes below to see if that helps at all.

 

Here is some updated code:


%Macro TestSee;
	proc format;
		value $treatmentFmt
		"Bov" = "PRO-A"
		"BovC" = "PRO-B"
		"Control" = "CON" 
		;
        run;
     
     ODS PATH work.templat(update) sasuser.templat(read) sashelp.tmplmst(read);
     PROC TEMPLATE;
        DEFINE STATGRAPH _grid;
        BEGINGRAPH / designheight=10in designwidth=8in;

Hi Jeff Meyers,

Don't you need a certificate to be this awesome?! 😁 The viewmin and viewmax totally fixed the problem. You just made my day sir 😍 

THANK YOU! And again, a million LIKES for you 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

Glad it worked for you. One last tip looking at the data. For the DISCRETELEGEND statement it's possible to put it into the bottom right blank space if you wanted to, but if you'd prefer them to be each of the graph cells you can add more spots to the ( ) after AUTOALIGN. For example you can set AUTOALIGN=(TOPRIGHT BOTTOMLEFT) and it'll pick which spot has the least collision with the graph automatically. If you want to add the legend to the bottom right space I believe you just cut the DISCRETELEGEND statement out of the current spot and paste it after the %do loop ends. Just change the name in the quotes to be treatment1 instead of treatment&i and it'll reference the legend in the top left cell. You might have to wrap it with a LAYOUT OVERLAY block, but I'm not positive.

Hello Jeff,

You are on point. It sure looks better without legend on every single graph. Thank you.

You should select Jeff's answer as the correct one, I think if you click the three dots at the side of my post you can unmark mine and mark his as correct 🙂

@JeffMeyers This code was really helpful for me to create a similar layout. However, I have to display formats for x-axis in each cell. The values of x-axis are visit numbers and numeric in nature. Could you please help me on that?

Chakraborty

@JeffMeyers The problem is little bit different now. I have used the format as eval(put(ifn(paramcd="MDS", avisitn,.),vs.)). I have now used type=linear for xaxisopts as the visit numbers are not equidistant.  However, I got warning as:

WARNING: SCATTERPLOT statement has a conflict with the axis type. The plot will not be drawn.
WARNING: SERIESPLOT statement has a conflict with the axis type. The plot will not be drawn.

I think linear axis option is not compatible with put fuction due to conversion to character format. Is there any way to solve this?

The format "vs" is defined as:

proc format;
value vs
2="Pre-D0"
3="Post-D0"
6="Pre-W3"
7="Post-W3"
;
run;
