You can specify both starting and ending dates for the plot, but not easily either one by itself.

Example:

data plot; format date date9.; do date="01mar1982"d to "03feb1983"d; y=sin(constant("PI")*date/182.625); output; end; run;

axis2 order="01jan1980"d to "01jan1985"d by month; /* Do it something like this. */ proc gplot data=plot; plot y*date / haxis=axis2; run;

If our X-axis is dates, how do we set the xmin and xmax? My current code allows SAS to choose, and it takes one year out that I have no data for. Thank you!

Can we also pre-fix the starting value of our Y-axis?

In the case of overlay, how do we relabel the y-axis so that it does not automatically name the y-axis the first y-variable that we overlay (e.g., Y1)?

Hello:

When I overlay four series on the same graph, SAS automatically chooses the color for each series. But how do we add the legend on the graph so that we know which color is for which series? My code was

proc gplot data=mydata;

plot (Y1 Y2 Y3 Y4)* dATE / overlay vaxis=axis1;

run;

quit;

Thank you!
