So whenever I run an SGPLOT with a by statement it automatically inserts a second title -- how do I remove that second title?

 

Here's my code (be nice as I'm just learning the graphics package):

 

ods graphics on;
ods listing style=DEFAULT image_dpi=300 gpath="FILE_LOCATION"; 
ods graphics / imagename="IMAGE_NAME";

PROC SGPLOT DATA=DATA_SET UNIFORM=SCALE;
BY VAR1 VAR2;
TITLE H=9pt 'TITLE: VAR1=#byval(VAR1) VAR2=#byval(VAR2)';

SCATTER X=X Y=Y / GROUP=ID MARKERATTRS=(SIZE=5) ;

XAXIS DISPLAY=(NOLABEL) TYPE=TIME INTERVAL=MONTH MINOR VALUEATTRS=(size=7);
YAXIS LABEL='LABEL' TYPE=LINEAR VALUES=(0 to 10 by 1) LABELATTRS=(size=8) VALUEATTRS=(size=7) valueshint;

KEYLEGEND / BORDER POSITION=RIGHT LOCATION=OUTSIDE ACROSS=1 TITLE='ID' SORTORDER=ASCENDING titleattrs=(size=7) valueattrs=(size=6);

RUN; ods graphics off;

I would guess that:

options nobyline;

Should suppress that, but I have nothing to test it on.

 

Nothing wrong with your code, other than using all uppercase and not indenting sections.

Thanks, RW9 --

 

I saw the "nobyline" syntax when Google searching for the answer but was trying to embed it in the ods line codes.

 

Thanks again,

Thanks for the solution and the post! Just what I was looking for. By using the nobyline option and combining with #byvar1 and #byval1, I was able to create my own custom titles for plots utilizing the by statement.
