I've gotten this message before and it was caused by a graph being too "busy"
to display everything given the graph's size.  The combination of axis
statements, labels, titles and ouput device can dictate a graph's size and
sometimes the fonts take up too much space.  SAS substitutes, if possible, a
font like Simplex, which is simpler than Times Roman.

Adding a font= option to the goptions statement may get rid of the warning
messages.
