I want to annotate a footnote on the graph using sgplot, with a line break between the first and the second lines of the annotated footnote, so that the results look like this:

 

annotated_footnote.PNG

 

Below is my unsuccessful attempt at doing so:

 

ods graphics / width=6in height=4in;


data anno_footnote1;
length function $10 anchor $20 drawspace $20;
function='text';
drawspace='GraphPercent';
x1=11; y1=4;
label= "NOTE: First line of annotated footnote.";
textcolor='gray77'; textsize=8;
width=100;
run;

data anno_footnote2;
length function $10 anchor $20 drawspace $20;
function='text';
drawspace='GraphPercent';
x2=11; y2=2;
label="SOURCES: Second line of annotated footnote.";
textcolor='gray77'; textsize=8;
width=5000;
run;

data anno_footnote;
	set anno_footnote1 anno_footnote2;
run;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class noautolegend uniform=all sganno=anno_footnote;

bubble x=age y=height size=Weight / group=Sex;


run;

Hello @KRA15,

 

Try this:

data anno_footnote;
length function $10 anchor $20 drawspace $20 label $60;
anchor='bottomleft';
function='text';
drawspace='GraphPercent';
textcolor='gray77'; textsize=8;
width=100;
x1=1; y1=4;
label="NOTE: First line of annotated footnote.";
output;
x1=1; y1=0;
label="SOURCES: Second line of annotated footnote.";
output;
run;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class noautolegend uniform=all sganno=anno_footnote pad=(bottom=10 pct);
bubble x=age y=height size=Weight / group=Sex;
run;

I get decent looking results with:

 

ods graphics / width=6in height=4in;


data anno_footnote;
length function $10 drawspace $20 label $100;
function='text';
drawspace='GraphPercent';
textcolor='gray77'; textsize=7; anchor="left";
width=100;

x1=5; y1=5;
label= "NOTE: First line of annotated footnote.";
output;

x1=5; y1=2;
label="SOURCES: Second line of annotated footnote.";
output;

run;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class noautolegend uniform=all sganno=anno_footnote;
bubble x=age y=height size=Weight / group=Sex;
run;
