Hello, 

 

I am using proc boxplot in SAS v9.3 to produce side by side boxplots.  I am including the inset group statement to include n, mean, std dev, etc in the plot.  I have tried various formats and positions, but I cannot get the statistics in the inset to line up over the corresponding box.  

 

Here is the code I used: 

 

ods graphics off;
proc boxplot data=all;
plot diff*race/ boxwidth=5 skiphlabels=0 vref=3 -3 vreflabels='weight gain' 'weight loss' vreflabpos=3;
insetgroup n mean stddev q1 q2 q3 / format=bestd4.1 position=topoff cframe=black;
goptions htext=1.3;
run;

 

And here is the resulting plot:

I just want the statistics to line up a little more precisely, to make this easier to interpret to those outside the study.  Does anyone know if this is possible?  

 

Thank you, 

Kelsey

Use PROC SGPLOT .



data class;
 set sashelp.class;
run;
proc summary data=class nway;
 class sex;
 var weight;
 output out=temp n=n mean=mean std=std;
run;
data class;
 set class temp;
run;

proc sgplot data=class;
 vbox weight/category=sex;
 xaxistable n mean std/x=sex location=inside position=top;
run;

The xaxistable statement isn't working for me.  I believe that is new to SAS 9.4.  I'm using 9.3.
