Sample 24886: Annotate values above each midpoint bar with PROC GCHART
If you request a statistic to print above each bar with PROC GCHART, SAS® might display a message in the SAS Log stating that the values are wider than the bars. When this happens, you can use the Annotate facility to circumvent the problem.
