Using sas v 9.4, I am trying to get my graphs in the correct format for a specific journal. All of the graph text including axis labels and tick mark labels need to be Arial 8 point font. I am able to create an editable graph so that I can open in ods graphics editor and easily change the axis label font and size, but not the size of the font for the tick marks  with the following code:

 

ods graphics on;

ods listing style=statistical sge=on;

proc glimmix;

class trainer;

model resp=trainer/ link=log solution;

random int/ subject=horse type=ar(1);

lsmeans trainer/ ilink cl adjust=tukey plot=meanplot(ilink);

run;

 

How can I change the font size for the tick marks?

 

Thank you!

Katy

An alternative to Draycut's suggestion is to derive a new Style from the one you want (say HTMLBlue), and change the GRAPHVALUEFONT setting in the "class GraphFonts" section.  Then, use this style with your program.  With "sans-serif", you will likely get Arial, but you can specify Arial if you want.

 

proc template;
   define style myStyle; 
      parent = Styles.HTMLBlue; 
      style GraphFonts from GraphFonts                                                      
         "Fonts used in graph styles" /                                                       
         'GraphValueFont' = ("<sans-serif>, <MTsans-serif>",8pt);             
; 
   end;

ods html style=htmlblue;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
  vbar age;
run;

ods html style=myStyle;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
  vbar age;

I don't think the option exists in PROC GLIMMIX itself. But you can modify the underlying template that creates the graph like this.

 

I took an example from the SAS documentation for demonstration purposes. I use ODS TRACE ON before the GLIMMIX Procedure to find the relevant template. Then I write the template to the log with the following PROC TEMPLATE. Finally, I simply Copy Paste the PROC TEMPLATE into my editor, make the relevant changes, run the revised PROC TEMPLATE and rerun the PROC GLIMMIX.

 

/* GLIMMIX Example from SAS Documentation */
data plants;
input Type $ @;
do Block = 1 to 3;
input StemLength @;
output;
end;
datalines;
Clarion   32.7 32.3 31.5 
Clinton   32.1 29.7 29.1 
Knox      35.7 35.9 33.1 
;

/* Use ODS Trace On to find the used template for the DiffPlot */
ods graphics on;
ods trace on;
ods select DiffPlot;
proc glimmix data=plants order=data plots=Diffogram;
	class Block Type;
	model StemLength = Block Type;
	lsmeans Type;
run;
ods graphics off;

/* Write the template to the log */
proc template;
  source Stat.Graphics.DiffPlot;
run;

/* - Copy/Paste in the PROC TEMPLATE Step from the log
   - Make the relevant changes to the template 
   - Rerun the PROC GLIMMIX                            */
