Reference lines are
always drawn perpendicular to the axes. They are drawn from one axis
boundary to the companion boundary (X to X2 or Y to Y2). Axis offsets
do not apply to reference lines.
A REFERENCELINE statement
can be used only within 2-D overlay-type layouts (OVERLAY, OVERLAYEQUATED,
or PROTOTYPE). A stand-alone plot statement that provides a sufficient
data range for determining axis extents must be included in the layout.
For example, a REFERENCELINE statement can be used with a scatter
plot or a histogram.
If a column is used
to generate multiple reference lines, the column type (numeric or
string) must agree with the type of data presented on the axis.
