New SAS user here.
I'm trying to generate a basic bar chart displaying average scores. The bars are grouped by "Analyst" names. When I run the code, the graph text displaying the names (Analyst Value) is positioned vertically. How do I rotate the text of the category values to make it readable?
proc gchart data=work.qa_data;
vbar Analyst / type=mean sumvar=Total_Score space=3 width=4;
run;
something like this
axis1 value=(angle=90);
proc gchart data=work.qa_data;
vbar Analyst / type=mean sumvar=Total_Score space=3 width=4 maxis=axis1;
run;
something like this
axis1 value=(angle=90);
proc gchart data=work.qa_data;
vbar Analyst / type=mean sumvar=Total_Score space=3 width=4 maxis=axis1;
run;

And just a quick note, that if you're new to SAS and graphing, using SG procedures is a better way to go, in particular SGPLOT. The Graph procedures are limited and don't look as nice.
Yes, I agree with this, and furthermore, my opinion is that the SG procedures are easier to use as well. But I'm sure there are many instruction videos/manuals/books that still show SAS/GRAPH and PROC GCHART, these are still supported and can be used.

I have 30 years of experience with SAS/GRAPH and so I can come up with a lot of SAS/GRAPH plotting code in my sleep. Speed of coding is an advantage to me; and even though I did say I think SG is easier, I'm still learning it.

Quite agree @PaigeMiller and there are still things involving axis appearances, depending on the graph type, I haven't figured out with SG procedures that are available in the Axis statement. I will say I don't miss Symbol very much though and am really learning to love the ATTRMAP possibilities.
