Changing font size in proc sgplot

[Amanda_Lemon]

Hi all - 

I am trying to make the font size of all words in my plot to be 14... I succeeded for labels of xaxis and yaxis but not for legendlabels in scatter and in lineparm... How can I change their font size? 

proc sgplot data = dataset;
scatter x = x1 y = y1 / jitter legendlabel = "Some label";
lineparm x=0 y=0 slope=1 / lineattrs=(color = red) legendlabel = "Diagonal line";
xaxis label = "Variable X" labelattrs=(size = 14);
yaxis label = "Variable Y" labelattrs=(size = 14);
run;

Thank you!

Hi @Amanda_Lemon 

Please try this:

proc sgplot data=dataset;
	scatter x=x1 y=y1 / jitter name="scatter_name" legendlabel="Some label";
	lineparm x=0 y=0 slope=1 / lineattrs=(color=red) name="diagnonal_name" 
		legendlabel="Diagonal line";
	keylegend "scatter_name" "diagnonal_name" / valueattrs=(size=14);
	xaxis label="Variable X" labelattrs=(size=14) valueattrs=(size=14);
	yaxis label="Variable Y" labelattrs=(size=14) valueattrs=(size=14);
run;

• To define the size of tick values on each axis, you can add the valueattr= option in both XAXIS and YAXIS statements
• To define the size of legend labels, you need first to define a "name" for each plot (scatter, lineparm) and then use a KEYLEGEND statement to define custom attributes

Best,

It works! Thank you so much!!
