Hi,

I am trying to generate some barchat using GTL but I have a problem with the bar width and I am not sure to understand why.

When I add the barlabel=true option, the bar are very narrowed. but if I remove this option it looks much better. Do you kwnow why this label option modify the bar widht?

Here is the code I use:

proc template;

  define statgraph testgraph;

  begingraph;

  layout gridded / border=false;

    layout datalattice columnvar=path  / headerlabeldisplay=value HEADERLABELATTRS=(SIZE=6px) cellwidthmin=20

             columnheaders=bottom border=false columndatarange=union

            columnaxisopts=(TICKVALUEATTRS=(SIZE=6pt) display=(line TICKS tickvalues))

            rowaxisopts=(offsetmin=0

             label='% Subjects' griddisplay=on);

      layout prototype  / walldisplay=(fill) WALLCOLOR=white;;

        barchart x=quarter y=colj / skin=modern barlabel=true BARLABELATTRS=(SIZE=6pt);

                              

      endlayout;

    endlayout;

  endlayout;

  endgraph;

end;

run;

ods graphics on / reset=all height=800px width=1000px   antialias=on;  

proc sgrender data=test template=testgraph;

run;

ods graphics off

The axis offsets within each cell is being adjusted to accommodate for the added text width, creating less room for the bars. You can override this adjustment by explicitly setting the OFFSETMIN and OFFSETMAX to a small value in the COLUMNAXISOPTS.

Hope this helps,
