Syntax

%SYSTEM (xsys, ysys, hsys);

xsys, ysys, hsys
specify values that represent a coordinate system and an area of the output. The following table explains these values:

Absolute Systems Relative Systems Units
1 7 percentage of data area
2 8 data values
3 9 percentage of graphics output area
4 A cell in graphics output area
5 B percentage of procedure output area
6 C cell in procedure output area

The default is %SYSTEM (4, 4, 4).

Details

Note:    Not all coordinate systems are valid with all Annotate variables or all SAS/GRAPH procedures. See Annotate Functions for any restrictions that apply to the variable that you want to use.  [cautend]

The ZSYS variable cannot be set through this macro. Use an explicit variable assignment instead: 


zsys='value'; output;

where value can be 1, 2, 7, or 8.

See Coordinate Systems for a description of the areas and coordinate systems.
