Hi all,

Is there anyway for the user to define the position of bubble labels instead of SAS automatically positioning them?

Please let me know if you need more clarification regarding my question.

Thank you all for your time!

I assume you're talking about "proc gplot" bubble plots...

Although there have been some recent improvements in "collision avoidance" to help keep labels from overlapping with gplot pointlabels, I still find times when I want to position the labels myself -- in those situations I use annotated text labels (using the position=1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|a|b|c|d|e|f, and/or adding slight offsets) instead of the automatic labels.

Thanks Robert!
I'll give that a try!
