Hi all,
I'm using GTL for the first time and am stuck on a problem. I'm practicing using the "heart" sashelp data and am trying to label the Y axis as "sex". My code is below, which does not draw a Y axis label. Having googled the problem, I don't understand why the code doesn't draw this label. For what it's worth, I use SAS 9.4 on a Windows computer.
Thanks!

set sashelp.heart(where=(ageatstart > 56));
keep sex systolic diastolic;

PROC TEMPLATE;
DEFINE STATGRAPH jphjitter;

datasymbols=(circlefilled);
ENTRYTITLE _title; *will ultimately be a dynamic;

)
YAXISOPTS = ( display=(label tickvalues)
label = 'SBP'
);

Hi,
I was thinking the code could be further reduced because you are only plotting a graph with one cell, so no need for the Layout Lattice. I also put back in your output location.

Try this code please.
It's because you were using the rowaxes column.

You say you are using SAS 9.4. Therefore you can use the JITTER option on the SCATTER statement in PROC SGPLOT. No need to mess with the GTL. For an example, see
