X Variable

Identifies the x coordinate of where a graphics element is to be drawn.
Type: numeric
Default: value of XLAST or XLSTT

Syntax

X=horizontal-coordinate;

Variable Values

horizontal-coordinate
specifies the X coordinate of where the graphics element is to be drawn.

Details

Using the X Variable

Specify a corresponding vertical coordinate when using the X variable. This vertical coordinate can be specified with the Y, YC, MIDPOINT, or SUBGROUP variables, depending on the type of graph that you are annotating.
The X variable uses the units that are specified in the XSYS variable. If you use XSYS='2' and the data axis is typed as character, use the XC variable instead of the X variable.
If the value of the X variable is missing for a function that requires it, the value of the XLAST variable is used with nontext functions and the value of the XLSTT variable is used with text functions.

Functions

You can use the X variable with these functions:
ARROW LABEL POINT
BAR MOVE POLY
DRAW PIE POLYCONT
IMAGE PIECNTR SYMBOL
Note: The X or XC variable is required unless either the MIDPOINT, GROUP, or SUBGROUP variable provides the horizontal coordinate.
