Tickvalueformat problem in SGPLOT

[jgaughan]

Tickvalueformat prints y axis labels up to 6 y values. More than 6, it skips every other label!

1) It never hurts to show the code. Paste code into a code box opened on the forum with the </> or "running man" icon.

2) data in form of a data step

3) if using a custom format then the format code is likely needed

The axis statements have an option called FITPOLICY that determines how certain clashes between tick mark spacing and length of formatted values are treated. Which defaults to THIN (show fewer values). So that may be something to investigate.

[ballardw · Accepted solution]

Try

yaxis display= (nolabel noline noticks) values=(1 to 11 by 1) tickvalueformat = yfmt. ;
