24888 - Use Annotation to add labeled reference lines to PROC GCHART output

Sample 24888: Use Annotation to add labeled reference lines to PROC GCHART output

This sample code uses the Annotate facility to add labeled reference lines to a vertical bar chart created with PROC GCHART.

The graphics output in the Results tab was produced using SAS® 9.2. Submitting the sample code with releases of SAS prior to SAS 9.2 might produce different results.
