SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 50845: Values might not be centered horizontally when specifying the MARKERCHARACTER option in a SCATTERPLOT or SCATTERPLOTMATRIX statement
 |  |  |  |
Values might not be centered horizontally when specifying the MARKERCHARACTER option in a SCATTERPLOT or SCATTERPLOTMATRIX statement in the Graph Template Language (GTL).
*
For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
This problem is most likely to occur if the format for the variable is larger than needed. If a numeric column is used for the MARKERCHARACTER and a format it not associated with the column, the BEST6. format is used.
To circumvent the problem, apply a smaller format to the column using a FORMAT statement.
Beginning with SAS® 9.4, you can specify the LABELSTRIP=TRUE option in the SCATTERPLOT or SCATTERPLOTMATRIX statement to strip the leading and trailing blanks from the column values.
