Hi all, I have an issue using SymbolChar statement to define MARKERATTRS symbol value for a scatterplot.
When I increase the size of the symbol in MARKERATTRS, then the symbol is moving on the Y-Axis. it looks like the symbol has something like POSITION=BOTTOM whereas I'm expecting MIDDLE or CENTER value. I can try to decrease the impact by adding vertical offset to my symbol. But if anybody has an idea of what is happening and how to avoid this it would be great for me (I'm using SAS 9.4 9.4 (TS1M5)).
Thank you for reading.
