Adding Annotations to Graphs

Another way to modify the appearance of a graph is to add annotations to data points or other elements of a graph. Annotations include lines and arrows, images, text, round and rectangular shapes, and so on.
You can annotate a graph using the following software:
  • the ODS Graphics Editor, which provides a point-and-click method for easily adding annotations to a graph.
  • the ODS Graphics procedures, which provide an annotation facility that enables you to add shapes, images, and other annotations to graph output. This feature is preproduction in SAS 9.3.
  • the Graph Template Language, which provides draw statements that enable you to draw visual elements anywhere within the graph. For example, you can add text, lines, shapes, and images to a graph.
