Reference line labels might overlap in graphs produced by ODS Graphics.

To circumvent the problem, do one of the following:

• Specify a single REFLINE statement for the SGPLOT and SGPANEL procedure, or a REFERENCELINE statement for the Graph Template Language (GTL). Point to variables that contain the reference line values and labels. For example:

  proc sgplot data=sashelp.class ;
     refline weight / label=name;
     series x=name y=weight;
  run;
  

• Add a REFLINE or REFERENCELINE statement that points to a variable that contains a single reference line value prior to the REFLINE or REFERENCELINE statements that contain reference line values. For example:

  /* Create a variable that contains the value of one of the reference line values. */
  /* Create a variable that contains the label you want associated with the reference line value. */
  data lab;
     refl=90;
     label='90-Text - from dataset ';
  run;
  
  data comb;
     set lab sashelp.class;
  run;
  
  proc sgplot data=comb ;
     title "OK";
     refline refl / label=label lineattrs=(color=green) labelattrs=(color=green family=Arial size=7 );
     refline 121 / label='121 - Text' lineattrs=(color=red) labelattrs=(color=red family=Arial size=7 );
     refline 122 / label='122 - Text' lineattrs=(color=red) labelattrs=(color=red family=Arial size=7 );
     refline 123 / label='123 - Text' lineattrs=(color=red) labelattrs=(color=red family=Arial size=7 );
     refline 124 / label='124 - Text' lineattrs=(color=red) labelattrs=(color=red family=Arial size=7 );
     refline 125 / label='125 - Text' lineattrs=(color=red) labelattrs=(color=red family=Arial size=7 );
     refline 126 / label='126 - Text' lineattrs=(color=red) labelattrs=(color=red family=Arial size=7 );
     refline 127 / label='127 - Text' lineattrs=(color=red) labelattrs=(color=red family=Arial size=7 );
     series x=name y=weight;
  run;
