Hello SAS Users,

I am creating a Forest Plot for a project and have followed Sanjay's examples to do this. However, I am trying to change the font of the forest plot tick marks to Times New Roman so that the resulting figure looks consistent with the rest of the production work.

A snippet of the code I have so far is:

layout overlay / xaxisopts=(label=' ' type=linear linearopts=(tickvaluepriority=true tickvaluelist=(0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0)))
yaxisopts=(reverse=true display=none) walldisplay=none;
highlowplot y=RECID low=RATIO_LCL high=RATIO_UCL;
scatterplot y=RECID x=RATIO / markerattrs=(symbol=squarefilled) ;
referenceline x=1;
endlayout;

The plot looks like below (no numerical data shown).  I'm not sure what option will change the font family.  Any guidance is appreciated.

Thank you @ballardw! The option TICKVALUEATTRS worked when I placed it within the XAXISOPTS.

The option TICKVALUEATTRS=(Family= "<name of font family goes here>") as part of the Linearopts should do it.
