Axis Labels

XSCHART Statement

Axis Labels

You can specify axis labels by assigning labels to particular variables in the input data set, as summarized in the following table:

Axis Input Data Set Variable

Horizontal all subgroup-variable

Vertical ( $\bar{X}$ chart) DATA= process

Vertical ( $\bar{X}$ chart) HISTORY= subgroup mean variable

Vertical ( $\bar{X}$ chart) TABLE= _SUBX_

You can specify distinct labels for the vertical axes of the $\bar{X}$ and s charts by breaking the vertical axis into two parts with a split character. Specify the split character with the SPLIT= option. The first part labels the vertical axis of the $\bar{X}$ chart, and the second part labels the vertical axis of the s chart.

For example, the following sets of statements specify the label Avg Power Output for the vertical axis of the $\bar{X}$ chart and the label Std Deviation for the vertical axis of the s chart:

   proc shewhart data=turbine;
      xschart kwatts*day / split = '/' ;
      label kwatts = 'Avg Power Output/Std Deviation';
   run;

   proc shewhart history=turbhist;
      xschart kwatts*day / split = '/' ;
      label kwattsx = 'Avg Power Output/Std Deviation';
   run;

   proc shewhart table=turbtab;
      xschart kwatts*day / split = '/' ;
      label _SUBX_ = 'Avg Power Output/Std Deviation';
   run;

In this example, the label assignments are in effect only for the duration of the procedure step, and they temporarily override any permanent labels associated with the variables.
