Places text in the graphics output. Associated variables can control
the color, size, font, base angle, and rotation of the characters displayed.
- ANGLE=0...360
- specifies the baseline angle of the
character string with respect to the horizontal. The pivot point is at (X,
Y), and the rotation is in a counterclockwise direction.
- CBORDER='color' | 'CTEXT'
- draws a colored border around the
text. Color can be any SAS/GRAPH color name.
- CBOX='color' | 'CBACK
- draws a solid, colored box behind
the text. Color can be any SAS/GRAPH color name.
- COLOR='color'
- specifies the color of the text. Color can be any SAS/GRAPH color
name.
- GROUP=group-value
MIDPOINT=midpoint-value
SUBGROUP=subgroup-value
- specify coordinates for HBAR and
VBAR charts from the GCHART procedure. Use these variables only with the
data coordinate systems 1, 2, 7, and 8.
- HSYS='coordinate-system'
- specifies the coordinate system for
the SIZE variable. See HSYS Variable
for an explanation of coordinate-system.
- POSITION='text-position' | '0'
- controls the text string placement
and alignment. Text-position can be one of the characters 1 through
9, A through F, <, +, or >. Invalid or missing values default to POSITION='5'.
POSITION should always be a character variable of length 1. For details,
see POSITION Variable.
- ROTATE=rotation-angle
- specifies the rotation angle of each
character in the string. It is equivalent to the ROTATE= option in the FOOTNOTE,
NOTE, and TITLE statements.
- SIZE=height
- specifies the height of the text
string. The SIZE variable units are based on the value of the HSYS variable.
- STYLE='font' | "'hardware-font-name'" |
'NONE'
- specifies the font with which to
draw the text that is specified by the TEXT variable. See STYLE Variable (Fonts) for a description
of the various font specifications.
- TEXT='text-string'
- specifies the text to be written.
Text-string can be up to 200 characters. Define the TEXT variable
with sufficient length to contain all of the characters in your text string.
If you need longer strings, use separate observations and POSITION='0' to
continue the text.
- WHEN='B' | 'A'
- specifies when to draw the text strings
in relation to other procedure output.
- X=horizontal-coordinate
Y=vertical-coordinate
Z=depth-coordinate (PROC G3D only)
XC='character-type-horizontal-coordinate'
YC='character-type-vertical-coordinate'
- specify the start point of the text
string. The Z variable can be used only with the G3D procedure. Optionally,
you can modify the placement of the text string with the POSITION variable.
- XSYS='coordinate-system'
- specifies the coordinate system for
the X or XC variable. Use the XC variable only with XSYS='2'. See XSYS Variable for an explanation
of coordinate-system.
- YSYS='coordinate-system'
- specifies the coordinate system for
the Y or YC variable. Use the YC variable only with YSYS='2'. See YSYS Variable for an explanation
of coordinate-system.
- ZSYS='coordinate-system'
- specifies the coordinate system for
the Z variable. See ZSYS Variable
for an explanation of coordinate-system.
