How to merge labels of X axis in lattice statement

[zzh4434]

The label of axes of the three cells are the same. How to merge the labels of the  axes,like this picture!

this is my code

proc template;                                                                
	define statgraph Series;                                                   
	begingraph;  
    layout lattice / rows=1 columns = 3 rowdatarange=UNIONALL columndatarange=unionall ;
        /* Column and row axes */
        columnaxes;
          columnaxis / display=all label="Mean Ctrough (Days 85 and 92), ng/mL"
					   linearopts=(TICKVALUELIST=(0 100 200 300 400 500 600 ) tickvaluepriority= true);
         columnaxis / display=all label="Mean Ctrough (Days 85 and 92), ng/mL"
					   linearopts=(TICKVALUELIST=(0 100 200 300 400 500 600 ) tickvaluepriority= true);
         columnaxis / display=all label="Mean Ctrough (Days 85 and 92), ng/mL"
					   linearopts=(TICKVALUELIST=(0 100 200 300 400 500 600 ) tickvaluepriority= true);
       endcolumnaxes;
        rowaxes;
          rowaxis / label="% Change from Baseline"
					linearopts=(tickvaluesequence=(start=-100 end=200 increment=50) tickvaluepriority= true);
        endrowaxes;

        **Column 1 content;

If you want tested code you need to provide example data in form of data step code and the Proc Sgrender code to create the graph.

And the Proc SGRENDER to use the template?

I notice this template is not the same as the first shown and is basically where I would start: just provide actual label text under one column. It displays the label in only the center graph but may get truncated depending on the width of the graph created. You might try the Labelpostion=center and see if you like the look though if the width of the center graph doesn't allow enough space it will still be truncated.

OR

        columnaxes;
          columnaxis / display=all label="  "
					   linearopts=(TICKVALUELIST=(0 100 200 300 400 500 600 ) tickvaluepriority= true);
         columnaxis / display=all label="Mean Ctrough*(Days 85 and 92)*ng/mL"
					   linearopts=(TICKVALUELIST=(0 100 200 300 400 500 600 ) tickvaluepriority= true)
                  labelfitpolicy=splitalways labelsplitchar='*'
         ;
         columnaxis / display=all label="  "
					   linearopts=(TICKVALUELIST=(0 100 200 300 400 500 600 ) tickvaluepriority= true);
       endcolumnaxes;

Which will split the label resulting in something similar to this on the Axis splitting the label at the positions of the inserted *:

   Mean Ctrough
(Days 85 and 92)
      ng/mL

Last option might be to suppress the label and use an Annotate data set to write text but that is a last choice as you may have to spend a lot of time with other options to create the space for that label to appear correctly.

thanks，I wrote three identical columnaxes, and then assigned the labels of 1 and 3 to null. What I want is whether I can just write only one columnaxis,
Then the three cells all display the same x axis, and the label is displayed in the middle cell.
