Rotate axis label SGPLOT Procedure

[vandhan]

Hi,

I don't see any option for rotating axis labels in sgplot wherein gplot I have rotate and angle option but here I don't see any option.

 yaxis label="Value"   min=0 max=30 ;

I want to rotate label "Value" vertical. currently, it is horizontally

Please help.

fitpolicy=rotate

That should be added to your axis statement.

Any graph question you have your first port of call should be this website:

Which for instance has:

And thousands of other examples.

fitpolicy=rotate statement appears specific to X axis.

I wonder if someone could let me know how to rotate Y axis tick values.

SGPLOT or GTL does not have a FitPolicy to rotate the y-axis values.  Normally, this is not needed as the values are horizontal, and cause minimal collisions.  Rotatin them may not help, and is harder to read.  Sometimes there are too many values on the y-axis so the spacing available for each value is less then the height of the value font, and they collide.  In this case, only some values are displayed.  To prevent this, you can set FitPolicy=none.
