The sample code on the Full Code tab uses SG Annotation to rotate the X-axis values in output produced by the SGPLOT procedure.

Beginning with the third maintenance release of SAS^® 9.4 (TS1M3), the VALUESROTATE=VERTICAL option on the XAXIS statement will allow values that overwrite to be rotated 90 degrees without the need for annotation. Values that do not overwrite will need to be annotated for vertical rotation.
