Syntax

%SYSTEM (xsys, ysys, hsys);

xsys, ysys, hsys

specify values that represent a coordinate system and an area of the output. The following table explains these values:

Absolute Systems Relative Systems 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

Absolute Systems	Relative Systems	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

The default is %SYSTEM (4, 4, 4).

Details

Note: Not all coordinate systems are valid with all Annotate variables or all SAS/GRAPH procedures. See Annotate Functions for any restrictions that apply to the variable that you want to use. [cautionend]

The ZSYS variable cannot be set through this macro. Use an explicit variable assignment instead:

zsys='value'; output;

where value can be 1, 2, 7, or 8.

See Coordinate Systems for a description of the areas and coordinate systems.
