The LAYOUT OVERLAY3D
statement provides XAXISOPTS=, YAXISOPTS=, and ZAXISOPTS= options
that enable you to manage the axis display separately for the X, Y,
and Z axes. The following example template uses the YAXISOPTS= option
to manage the display of grid lines, tick marks, and tick values on
a Y axis:
begingraph;
layout overlay3d /
yaxisopts=(
griddisplay=on
display=(ticks tickvalues)
);
bihistogram3dparm x=rater y=customer z=percent;
endlayout;
endgraph;
Within an OVERLAY3D
layout block, each plot axis is always either a linear or a time axis.
The default axis-type setting is AUTO, which specifies that the axis
type be automatically determined by the plot or the overlay contents.
The
TYPE= option enables you to explicitly specify either
a LINEAR or a TIME axis type. When you override the default axis type,
you must be sure to specify the correct axis type for the plot(s)
that you are defining.
Each axis type has features
specific to that type, and the axis options
LINEAROPTS= and
TIMEOPS= enable you to specify features for
a linear or a time axis. You can combine one or more general axis
options with the options for the specific axis type. However, specified
settings are applied only to the axis type that supports them. For
example, if you specify general axis options with time axis options
and the generated graph produces a linear axis type, the time axis
options are ignored.
Unless otherwise indicated
in an option description, each axis option is available for the X,
Y, and Z axis.
