unwanted y axis ticks on .emf graph

[Matteo Pinna Pintor]

Dear list members,

a graph plotted without ticks (tlw(none)), if saved as .emf and loaded in word (or opened on paint), gets its ticks back (see below) - but only on the y axis. Any solution to avoid this while using this format? Note that after the graph command (ssc describe heatplot) I'm using gr_edit to modify labels - on both axes, however, the only specificity of changes to the y axis being the labels' angle.

Best
Matteo

Please provide a reproducible example.

Err...

webuse nhanes2, clear
heatplot weight height, ylabel(25(25)175, tlw(none))
graph export "yourfolderhere", as(emf) name("Graph")

then

1) Open Microsoft Office Word 2013
2) select "insert picture" and add the emf picture
3) compare inserted picture to stata graph window

I tried that just now, and I learnt only now that unfortunately

Stata for MacOSX cannot create emf files
r(198);

(just in case it helps another Mac user who was intending to help...)

webuse nhanes2, clear
heatplot weight height, ylabel(25(25)175, tlw(none))
graph export "yourfolderhere", as(emf) name("Graph")

3) compare inserted picture to stata graph window

Thanks. Try instead:

webuse nhanes2, clear
heatplot weight height, ylabel(25(25)175, noticks)
graph export "yourfolderhere", as(emf) name("Graph")

Thanks Andrew.
