Hi,

Hope I will be clear… It's about the href line label.

Starting with :

/* Set graphics options */

goptions reset=all ftext=centb lfactor=2  htext=1.5;

/* Create sample data set, A */

data a;
   input year y;
   datalines;
90 40
91 85
92 80
93 50
94 90
95 80
;

symbol i=j v=dot c=blue;

/* Define axis characteristics */

axis2 reflabel=(j=r POSITION=bottom '1st reference line' '2nd reference line' );

title1 h=5 pct f=swissb 'Sales Report';

/* Produce the plot */

proc gplot data=a;
   plot y*year / vaxis=axis2 vref=55 59;
run;
quit;

You can see that the '1st reference line' '2nd reference line' text are on the
bottom right of the line.

Q1 : if you use position=TOP, the text is too near of the line that it seems to
be on the line. Do I have to add an option in order to move up the text  ?

Now I want to use the reflabel on the horizontal axis (ie. href line).
Using the same definition, I’d like the '1st reference line' '2nd reference
line'  texts at the top on the graphic, near the line but not on the line.
So I use the same program and add a ANGLE= option to reflabel=.

axis2 reflabel=(a=90 j=c POSITION=top '1st reference line' '2nd reference line'
);

title1 h=5 pct f=swissb 'Sales Report';

/* Produce the plot */

proc gplot data=a;
   plot y*year / haxis=axis2 href=91 92;
run;
quit;

Q2 : Why the text goes outside the graphic while on the vref use of this
Reflabel, it didn’t go outside ?
Q3 : How put the text at the upper right of the line ?


TIA.


Stephane.
