The border around the data area is called the wall border. The axes are drawn on top of the wall border. Because the axis line style attributes are the same as the wall border, the box around the data area looks seemless; but if you change the color of the axis lines, this arrangement becomes more obvious:
ods html style=htmlblue;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
scatter x=weight y=height;
run;
proc template;
define style styles.axis;
parent=styles.htmlblue;
class GraphAxisLines /
contrastcolor=red;
end;
run;
ods html style=axis;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
scatter x=weight y=height;
run;
All four axes (X, Y, X2, Y2) have the ability to control their display; but it the wall border is turned on, you might not get the appearance you would expect.
