SAS 9.4 Graph Template Language, 3rd Edition

In this case, an external axis that might be displayed near an empty cell is displayed near

a populated cell instead. Here is example output.

Adjusting the Sizes of Rows and Columns

By default, the rows and columns of the lattice are of the same depth and width. You can

use the ROWWEIGHTS= and COLUMNWEIGHTS= options on the LAYOUT

LATTICE statement to designate different row depths or column widths or both.

Consider the following settings:

LAYOUT LATTICE / ROW=2 COLUMNS=2

ROWWEIGHTS=(.6 .4) COLUMNWEIGHTS=(.45 .65);

Figure 12.3 on page 209 uses these settings. The ROWWEIGHTS= setting specifies that

the first row gets 60% of available row space, and the second row gets 40%. The

COLUMNWEIGHTS= setting specifies that the first column gets 45% of available

column space, and the second column gets 65%. Potentially, the settings on these

options affect the space that is allocated to cell headers and to row and column headers.

In a traditional stock plot, the area devoted to price information is larger than the area

devoted to the volume information. Here is an adjustment made to the row depths for the

graph in Figure 12.8 on page 222:

layout lattice / columns=2 rows=2 rowweights=(.6 .4)

rowdatarange=union columndatarange=union

rowgutter=3px columngutter=3px;
