Sample 52648: Display multiple axis scales and label plot points with PROC GPLOT
The sample code on the Full Code tab illustrates two SAS/GRAPH® programming techniques with the GPLOT procedure: displaying multiple scales on a single set of plot axes, and labeling the plot points without using the Annotate facility. By using the options available on global statements, you can customize your graphics output in a variety of different ways.
