How to edit x and y axis of a KM curve

[lavienrose1]

Hi

I am a beginner at SAS - I have produced a KM curve but having trouble editing the axes. 

I used the code below:

ODS graphics on;
ODS select survivalplot(persist) failureplot(persist);

PROC lifetest data=solo2_date plots=survival (test atrisk (maxlen=8 outside (0.15)));
Time ttpfs*pfs(0);
strata randtrt;
run;

ODS graphics off;

It gives me the KM curve but I would like to edit :

• y axis - instead of 0.0 to 1.0 in increments of 0.2 , i would like 0 to 100 in increments of 20 (%)
• x axis - instead of days 0 to 1000 in increments of 200 I would like in months in increments of 3

I've tried reading other posts and guides but just not getting it right. Any help appreciated, thanks.

Hi,

I've figured how to edit the x and y axis to my liking (coding below). By changing the y axis scale from 0 to 100 (%) rather than 0 to 1, the curves do not correspondingly 'resize' to the 0 to 100 scale so appears as a flat line...how do I rectify this?

data solo2_date;
set solo2_date;
ttpfsmo=ttpfs/30.5;
run;

ODS graphics on;
ods trace output;
proc lifetest data=solo2_date;
time ttpfsmo*pfs(0);
strata randtrt;
run;

ODS trace off;

proc template;
source Stat.Lifetest.Graphics.ProductLimitSurvival;
run;

options ls=95;
data _null_;
infile 'http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/stat/ex_code/121/templft2.html'
device=url;
retain pre 0;
input;
if index(_infile_, '</pre>') then pre = 0;
if pre then put _infile_;
if index(_infile_, '<pre>') then pre = 1;
run;

data _null_;

if index(_infile_, '</pre>') then pre = 0;
if pre then put _infile_;
if index(_infile_, '<pre>') then pre = 1;
run;
%inc 'junk.junk' / nosource;

Rather than changing from 0 to 100 see if you can apply a percent formst to the 0 to 1 scale.
