Syntax

Y=vertical-coordinate;

Variable Values

vertical-coordinate: specifies the Y coordinate of where the graphics element is to be drawn.

Details

Using the Y Variable

Specify a corresponding horizontal coordinate when using the Y variable. You can specify the horizontal coordinate with the X, XC, MIDPOINT, or SUBGROUP variable, depending on the type of graph that you are annotating.

The Y variable uses the units specified in the YSYS variable. If you use YSYS='2' and the axis data is type character, use the YC variable instead of the Y variable.

If the value of the Y variable is missing for a function that requires it, the value YLAST is used for nontext functions and the value of YLSTT is used for text functions.

Functions

You can use the Y variable with these functions:

ARROW	LABEL	POINT
BAR	MOVE	POLY
DRAW	PIE	POLYCONT
IMAGE	PIECNTR	SYMBOL

Note: The Y or YC variable is required unless either the MIDPOINT, GROUP, or SUBGROUP variable provides the vertical coordinate.
