Printing Subscript on Y axis label using annotation dataset

[nickpatel]

I am trying to print subscript y axis label using annotation dataset as follows, 

data anno;
length label $50;
ord=1; Function='TEXT'; label="Cmax (ng/mL)" ;
output;
ord=2; Function='TEXT'; label="AUC`{sub 24} (h*ng/mL)" ;
output;
ord=3; Function='TEXT'; label="AUC`{sub inf} (h*ng/mL)" ;
output;
ord=4; Function='TEXT'; label="AUC`{sub last} (h*ng/mL)" ;
output;
run;
data anno;
set anno;
x=5; y=50; width=40; xspace='graphpercent' ; yspace='graphpercent'; drawspace='graphpercent';/* anchor= "left" ;*/ id='par';
rotate=90 ; textsize=9 ; textweight="bold" ;
run;

but it print the on middle of the graph instead of graph area

data _anno;
length label $ 200;
 drawspace="layoutpercent"; function="text"; textweight="normal"; textsize=12;textcolor="black"; width=200;
 x1=50; y1=2.5;label="AUC(*ESC*){sub '24'}(h*ng/mL)"; output;
 x1=2.5;  y1=50;rotate=90;label="AUC(*ESC*){sub 'inf'}(h*ng/mL)"; output;
 run;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.heart sganno=_anno noautolegend;   
vbox weight/category=bp_status group=sex;   
xaxis label=' ';
yaxis label=' ';
run;

hi Ksharp,

Thank you for your reply

Apparently it works in sgplot , but with sgrender its still printing in middle of graph instead of in Layout space. I am using following template 

 proc template;

      define statgraph lineplot;

            begingraph;

  layout lattice / columns=1 rows=1 columngutter=5;

  cell;

                 layout overlay /

                        yaxisopts=(offsetmin=0.02 offsetmax=0.02 

type=log display=(line ticks tickvalues  )

logopts=(base=10 tickintervalstyle=auto) 

tickvalueattrs=(size=7pt)

/*label=&ylbl. labelattrs=(size=9pt weight=bold)*/

                                                griddisplay=on gridattrs=(color=lightgray pattern=solid thickness=1pt)

                                                )

                        xaxisopts=(offsetmin=0.02 offsetmax=0.02

display=(line ticks tickvalues label) label="Dose (mg)" type=linear 

linearopts=(viewmin=&minval. tickvaluelist=(&xvalues) tickdisplaylist=(&xcvalues.) )

tickvalueattrs=(size=8pt)

labelattrs=(size=9pt weight=bold)

                        griddisplay=on gridattrs=(color=lightgray pattern=solid thickness=1pt) 

                                                /*minorgrid=true minorgridattrs=(color=lightgray pattern=solid thickness=0.5pt)*/)

;

seriesplot x=l10dose y=curve&i/ lineattrs=(thickness=1.3pt color=black);

seriesplot x=l10dose y=elower&i/ lineattrs=(thickness=1.3pt pattern=dash color=black);

seriesplot x=l10dose y=eupper&i/ lineattrs=(thickness=1.3pt pattern=dash color=black);

scatterplot x=l10dose y=aval&i / group=SUBJID groupdisplay=cluster

clusterwidth=0

                            markerattrs=(size=4pt color=black symbol=X) name='agtx' ;

annotate /id='par';

                                    drawtext textattrs=(color=black size=7pt) "A power model with 90% confidence interval is presented: Response = exp(&&intercept&i) x Dose^(&&slope&i); 90% CI (&&lcl&i, &&ucl&i)" / 

                                                width=100 widthunit=percent x=0 y=-1.5 anchor=bottomleft xspace=wallpercent yspace=graphpercent;

/* drawtext textattrs=(color=black size=9pt ) "&ylbl" / rotate=90*/

/*                                                width=40 widthunit=percent x=-5 y=25 anchor=center xspace=wallpercent yspace=graphpercent;*/

                  endlayout;

endcell;

  endlayout;

            endgraph;

      end;

run;

Sorry. I am not familiar with GTL.

Maybe @tc  @DanH_sas  could give you a hand.

[DanH_sas · Accepted solution]

The reason the label is printing in the middle is that the annotation variables for the X and Y positions are incorrectly named. These reserved variable names must be called X1 and Y1. Some annotations require two coordinates, in which case you would use X1/Y1 and X2/Y2. Let me know if you still have any issues.

Hi Dan,

Yes, by changing to x1= & Y1= has fix the issue...Thank you for suggestion. One more question here please? I have tried different method by creating the macro variable contains the unicode for yaxis label and pass thought macro loop. But why the Unicode is not supported for letters a-z ?

[DanH_sas]

The Unicode specification for subscripts does not support all a-z characters (see Unicode Superscripts and Subscripts). In addition, for most of those subscript characters in the specification, you will need to choose a "full-featured" Unicode font, i.e. a font that has most of the Unicode glyphs. Otherwise, the character will render as a box. A good sans-serif font to use is "Arial Unicode MS". Let me know if that works okay for you.

After I checked the DOC , and get right graph .

data anno;
length label $ 200;
id="BAR";
 drawspace="graphpercent"; function="text"; textweight="normal"; textsize=12;textcolor="black"; width=200;
 x1=50; y1=2.5;label="AUC(*ESC*){sub '24'}(h*ng/mL)"; output;
 x1=2.5;  y1=50;rotate=90;label="AUC(*ESC*){sub 'inf'}(h*ng/mL)"; output;
 run;
proc template;
define statgraph anno;
begingraph;
entrytitle "Vehicle Statistics";
layout lattice / columns=2 columngutter=10 pad=(left=15);

layout overlay /
xaxisopts=(offsetmin=0.2 offsetmax=0.2)
yaxisopts=(display=none);
/* Draw the barchart of origin and MPG city */
barchart x=origin y=mpg_city / name="bar" stat=mean
group=type groupdisplay=cluster clusterwidth=0.7
dataskin=sheen;
annotate / id="BAR"; /* Draw the barchart label. */
endlayout;

layout overlay /
y2axisopts=(display=(ticks tickvalues));
/* Draw the histogram of MPG city */
histogram mpg_city / dataskin=sheen yaxis=y2;
densityplot mpg_city / yaxis=y2;
annotate / id="HIST"; /* Draw the histogram label. */
endlayout;

endlayout;
endgraph;
end;
run;
/* Render the graph with the annotation */
proc sgrender data=sashelp.cars template=anno sganno=anno;
where type in ("Sedan" "Sports" "SUV");
run;

HI Ksharp,
Yes indeed changing to X1= & Y1= , it would resolve the issue...

Thank you,
Nick
