Sample 47801: Use special symbols with SAS/GRAPH® output
This sample illustrates how to include special symbols as part of your graphics output. The sample code on the
Full Code tab uses the Symbol hardware font to display a "less than or equal to" symbol in a title and a "greater than or equal to" symbol in the label for the horizontal axis on a graph generated with the GPLOT procedure.
To add a special symbol to SAS/GRAPH output, you first need to determine which hardware font offers the special symbol that you want. The next step is to determine which hexadecimal value in that hardware font produces the desired special symbol. To view a table containing all of the special symbols that are available with selected hardware fonts, click the Output tab in
Sample 47789.
