Sample 24908: Overlay a plot line on a vertical bar chart with PROC GPLOT
This example uses PROC GPLOT with the NEEDLE interpolation on a SYMBOL statement with the WIDTH= option to simulate a vertical bar chart.
If you have SAS 9, the GBARLINE procedure can also be used to produce this type of graph. Please see SAS Sample 24863.
