Syntax

%SYSTEM (xsys, ysys, hsys);

xsys, ysys, hsys: specify values that represent a coordinate system and an area of the output, as defined for the Annotate XSYS Variable. 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;

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