This sample uses the SAS® 9.3 DRAWTEXT statements in the Graph Template Language (GTL) to split axis values across multiple lines.

Note that the null ENTRYFOOTNOTE statement sets the size of the text to 30 in order to assure that there is enough space below the graph for the annotation. The annotation draws the axis values and the axis label.
