Hi,all 🙂
I'm looking for a way to add margin (space / offset) between tick and tick label with proc gplot.
Even with the method in the case of "proc sgplot", it is ok, but we are seeking information with proc gplot as much as possible.
I attach an image if what I want to do.
Those who knows, thank you for your cooperation.

 

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class; 
 reg x=height y=weight; 
run;

output image of above code is

 

position_tick_label_gplot_sas.png

 

And what I want to do is below.

Check X axis label position.

position_tick_label_gplot_sas_margin.png

 

Have a fine day.

Here are three starter solutions.  Each could be refined depending on which way works best for you.

symbol v=dot color=blue;

* Solution #1;
axis1 order=(11 to 16)
      minor=none
      major=(height=10 color=white );
proc gplot data=sashelp.class;
   plot height*age/haxis=axis1;
   run;
   quit;

* Solution #2;
goptions reset=axis;
axis1 style=0;
axis2 order=(40 to 80 by 10)
      value=(t=1 color=white)
      minor=(n=1);
proc gplot data=sashelp.class;
   plot height*age/haxis=axis1
                   vaxis=axis2
                   vref=50;
   run;
   quit;

* Solution #3;
goptions reset=axis;
axis1 style=0;
axis2 offset=(10)
      minor=(n=1);
proc gplot data=sashelp.class;
   plot height*age/haxis=axis1
                   vaxis=axis2
                   vref=50;
   run;
   quit;

* Solution #4;
goptions reset=axis;
axis1 style=0;
axis2 style=0
      offset=(10)
      minor=(n=1);

data anno (keep=function xsys ysys x y line);
   retain xsys ysys '2' line 1 x 11;
   function='move';
      y=50; output anno;
   function='draw';
      y=80; output anno;
   run;

proc gplot data=sashelp.class
           anno=anno;
   plot height*age/haxis=axis1
                   vaxis=axis2
                   vref=50;
   run;
   quit;
