The top and right axis lines that are drawn on graphs produced by the SGPLOT procedure are part of the frame from the graph wall. You can turn off the frame border using a style definition.
In addition to turning the frame off, you can also change the color of the graph background from gray to white.
Once the style has been defined, you need to point to that style with the STYLE= option in the ODS destination statement. The sample code below illustrates the syntax.
proc template;
define style mystyle;
parent=styles.sasweb;
class graphwalls /
frameborder=off;
class graphbackground /
color=white;
end;
run;
ods listing close;
ods html style=mystyle path='.' file='newgraph.html';
ods graphics / reset=all border=off width=600px height=400px;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.heart;
where status in('Alive') and ageatstart < 50;
title1 'Remove Frame Border & Assign White to Background Color';
hbar ageatstart / response=weight group=sex;
run;
ods html close;
ods listing;
