Syntax

YSYS='coordinate-system';

coordinate-system
specifies a value that represents a coordinate system. Values can be 1 through 9 and A through C, as shown in the following table:

Absolute Systems Relative Systems Coordinate System Units
1 7 percentage of data area
2 8 data values
3 9 percentage of graphics output area
4 A cell in graphics output area
5 B percentage of procedure output area
6 C cell in procedure output area

These values are also used by the HSYS and XSYS variables. See Coordinate Systems for a description of the areas and coordinate systems.


Functions

You can use the YSYS variable with these functions:
BAR MOVE POLY
DRAW PIE POLYCONT
FRAME PIECNTR SYMBOL
LABEL POINT


Details

The coordinate system that you specify with the YSYS variable affects how the function interprets the value of the Y or YC variable.

Note:   Not all coordinate systems can be used with all Annotate variables. For any restrictions, see the individual variables in this section.  [cautionend]
