Details

Using the Y Variable

Specify a corresponding horizontal when using the Y variable. You can specify the horizontal coordinate with the X, XC, MIDPOINT, or SUBGROUP variable, depending on the type of graph that you are annotating.

The Y variable uses the specified in the YSYS variable. If you use YSYS='2' and the axis data is type character, use the YC variable instead of the Y variable.

If the value of the Y variable is missing for a function that requires it, the value of the YLAST variable or the YLSTT variable is used. The YLAST variable is used for nontext functions, and the YLSTT variable is used for text functions.

Functions

You can use the Y variable with these functions:

ARROWLABELPOINT
BARMOVEPOLY
DRAWPIEPOLYCONT
IMAGEPIECNTRSYMBOL
Note: The Y or YC variable is required unless either the MIDPOINT, GROUP, or SUBGROUP variable provides the vertical .
