Increasing font size in a histogram

[Amanda_Lemon]

Hello, 

I am trying to increase the font size of both labels and tick values for both x-axis and y-axis. Is there an easy way to do that?

proc univariate data = data noprint;
class Group;
histogram Test / nrows = 3 normal;
run;

Thank you in advance.

If the histogram has to be in PROC UNIVARIATE, then I think the only solution (which would be difficult) is to modify the template.

If you can do this in PROC SGPLOT, then the solution is simple.

These things are easier to control in PROC SGPLOT doing something like this

title "Some Histogram";
proc sgplot data=sashelp.iris;
  histogram SepalLength;
  xaxis labelattrs=(size=12 weight=bold) valueattrs=(size=12 weight=bold);
  yaxis labelattrs=(size=12 weight=bold) valueattrs=(size=12 weight=bold);
run;
title;

I thought about sgplot but can it make 3 histograms placed nicely one under another? Like proc univariate does.

Good point. To get histograms vertically above of one another, use PROC SGPANEL.

Use PROC SGPANEL and do something like this

proc sgpanel data=sashelp.iris;
   panelby species / rows=3;
   histogram SepalLength;
   rowaxis labelattrs=(size=12 weight=bold) valueattrs=(size=12 weight=bold);
   colaxis labelattrs=(size=12 weight=bold) valueattrs=(size=12 weight=bold);
run;

Got it -- thank you!
