In addition
to the standard text that is displayed, titles, footnotes, and axis
labels have alternate short text. This short text is specified as
a GTL option in the SAS program that defines the graph.
If there
is not enough space to display the standard text, then the short text
is displayed. For example, if you resize a graph and there is not
enough space to display the whole axis label, then the short axis
label is displayed. If you later enlarge the graph so that enough
space is made available, then the long label is displayed.
You can
override the short text by changing the text of the title, footnote,
or axis label. Once you change the text, then only the new modified
text is displayed regardless of the size of the graph.
