Specifies when the function is performed in relation
to generating other graphics output for the procedure or in relation
to generating other Annotate graphics.
specifies whether to
draw the annotation before (B) or after (A) the graph. These values
are not case sensitive. A missing value is equivalent to specifying
B.
Note:The frame of some plot types is drawn before annotations
where WHEN="B". If you use the Annotate facility to draw a background
and you want your graph frame to be visible, then you can use the
BAR function to draw a frame. The following annotate statements draw
a white graph frame:
The WHEN Variable and Annotate Data Set Processing
Normally, observations
in an Annotate data set are processed sequentially. If you use the
WHEN variable, all those observations with a WHEN value of B are processed
first, the procedure output is then processed (if one is to be produced),
and finally the observations with a WHEN value of A are processed.
Functions
You can use the WHEN
variable with these functions:
