Problem Note 46196: NEEDLE interpolation with PROC GPLOT draws needles when Y values are zero with ODS PDF
 |  |  |  |  |
When using the NEEDLE interpolation with the GPLOT procedure to generate a graph, needles might be drawn when values of the Y-axis variable are zero. This is most likely to occur when creating the graphs in the ODS PDF destination.
To circumvent the problem, do one of the following:
- Change the zeros in the data set to missing values.
- Create the graphs with an ODS destination other than PDF, such as ODS RTF or ODS HTML.
