Sample 46439: Annotate a text label outside of small bars with PROC GCHART
 |  |  |  |  |  |
The sample code on the Full Code tab uses an Annotate data set to draw a text label outside of a small bar when the text is too large to fit within the bar. The bar chart is generated with the GCHART procedure.
