Details

Using the X Variable

Specify a corresponding vertical 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 that are specified in the XSYS variable. If you use XSYS='2' and the data axis is entered 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 or the XLSTT variable is used. The XLAST variable is used with nontext functions, and the XLSTT variable is used with text functions.

Functions

You can use the X variable with these functions:

ARROWLABELPOINT
BARMOVEPOLY
DRAWPIEPOLYCONT
IMAGEPIECNTRSYMBOL
Note: The X or XC variable is required unless either the MIDPOINT, GROUP, or SUBGROUP variable provides the horizontal .
