how to increase the number of ticks in a axis using sgplot

[changxuosu]

proc sgplot data=mydata;

series x=datey=dollar / lineattrs = (thickness=2);

xaxis display=(nolabel) valuesformat=MMYYS. interval=month valueattrs= (size=8);

yaxis display=(nolabel);

run;

Dear SAS community,

I have a dataset mydata, I want to plot date on x axis and dollar on y axis. I used the code in the above, the problem is that using that code, the number of ticks on xaxis is too small. It's too thinly displayed. the interval 2 years.

I changed my options by using "interval=month" but it doesn't change the output plot.

Anyone has any idea? Appreciate any suggestions.

A newbie in sgplot struggling... thanks!

Based on your description, my guess is that INTERVAL=MONTH would be too dense to fit. I might would try INTERVAL=YEAR and MINORINTERVAL=MONTH to get that level of detail.

Hope this helps!
