How to disable axis labels in a PROC TEMPLATE's STATGRAPH block?

Question

Suppose a SAS/GRAPH® GTL "DEFINE STATGRAPH" block has a "LAYOUT OVERLAY" block which produces a chart as shown below:

How do I adjust the template to remove the label "mm_yyyymm"? I'm not seeing any options under SERIESPLOT that would disable the label.

Answer 1

It depends on the type of layout.... but in all three, use a DISPLAY= option without a label tag.

LAYOUT OVERLAY

One can set the XAXISOPTS or YAXISOPTS options on the LAYOUT block:

layout overlay / xaxisopts=( display=(ticks tickvalues) griddisplay=on type=discrete )

LAYOUT DATALATTICE or LAYOUT DATAPANEL

This time it's the ROWAXISOPTS or COLUMNAXISOPTS options on the layout block:

  layout datalattice rowvar=x columnvar=y / rowaxisopts=(display=(ticks tickvalues)

LAYOUT LATTICE

The ROWAXIS / COLUMNAXIS statements can use the option inside their respective ROWAXES / COLUMNAXES block:

   rowaxis / display=(ticks tickvalues);
