Superscript in title

[Melk]

I am trying to add a superscript in my title and this is what is happening. I am using SAS 9.4 - can anyone help identify the problem based on the image? Thank you.

ods escapechar='^';

proc sgplot data=datnoautolegend;
title "My Plot: Volume(ml^{sup 2})";

...

I think you need to use the super keyword like this

ods escapechar='^';
title "My Plot: Volume(ml^{super 2})";

proc print data=sashelp.class;
run;

@Melk , does that work for you?

[Melk]

I tried that as well, but the results are the same.

[PeterClemmensen]

Are you directing output to an external source or HTML?

When I run it, I see this

[Melk]

Hm, I am looking at it in my results viewer and exporting as rtf file, and still getting the same thing.

Version of SAS?

And show your code from the ODS RTF statement to the ODS RTF close.

My title in RTF shows

My Plot: Volume(ml²)

I have SAS 9.4.

ods rtf file='temp.rtf';
proc sgplot data=dat noautolegend;
title "My Plot: (ml^{super 2})";
scatter x=new_method y=gs;
run;
quit;
ods rtf close;

Try adding NOGTITLE to the ODS RTF options. I think with the title out of the graph that RTF has a better chance of showing the text as desired. The default for RTF is GTITLE which leaves the title as part of the graph and the graph procedures have issues with escapechar stuff sometimes.

This worked, but it changes the format of my plot as well...which I don't want to change.

[Melk]

I also noticed that it works when I do a proc print, but not when I use sgplot - so it must have to do with the graph options?

Try using the unicode value instead:

  title "My Plot: Volume(ml^{unicode '00b2'x})";

That was my solution - which works in the pdf and rtf files. However the png graphics file only shows an empty rectangle where subscript 2 should be in the label for y-axis of an sgplot plot - a pity. How to fix?

data sganno;
length label $ 200;
 drawspace="graphpercent"; function="text"; textweight="normal"; textsize=12;textcolor="black"; width=200;
/* x1=50; y1=2.5;label="&label1."; output;*/
 x1=50;  y1=95; label="Title -- My Plot: (ml(*ESC*){sup '2'})"; output;
 x1=2.5;  y1=50;rotate=90;label="My Plot: (ml(*ESC*){sup '2'})"; output;
 run;

title;
ods graphics/reset=all;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.class noautolegend sganno=sganno pad=(top=1cm);
scatter x=weight y=height;
yaxis label=' ';
run;
quit;
