Glad that example helps you 🙂 This paper was written back in 2011. Since that time, there are several examples in the paper that can now be done using just regular options (your example is not one of them), but at least they still demonstrate the capabilities of the annotation system. ...

The column you want is TEXTSTYLE. If you were going to write the word "Average", you would first use the TEXT function, with LABEL="A" and TEXTSTYLE="italic". Then, use the TEXTCONT function with LABEL="average" and TEXTSTYLE="normal". Don't forget to set FILLCOLOR to be your background color to blank out the other text. ... View more

1) To create a rich-text string like you want, you will need to use a combination of the TEXT and TEXTCONT functions. Look at my paper on SG annotation starting at the end of page 13. You will see an example that uses TEXT and TEXTCONT to create a rich-text string. Basically, you will use TEXT to set the position of the string, along with writing the first character as Italic. You will also need to set the background to be filled with the same color as your background to blank out the other text. Then, use TEXTCONT to write out the rest of the string as "normal" text.   2) In the procedure, you should be able to use the FORMAT statement to change the format of the column used in the YAXISTABLE. ...

This swimmer plot example uses that technique: https://blogs.sas.com/content/graphicallyspeaking/2018/11/16/waterfall-graph-with-more-data-for-subject-part-2/ ... View more

For the arrow, use a "right triangle" marker as the arrow in the LEGENDITEM definition. ... View more

Use two LEGENDITEM statements (one for each item) and add them (by name) to your KEYLEGEND like you would a plot. Let me know if you cannot find an example of this technique. ... View more

I can't see all of your code, but I think the following is your solution: Instead of using the FOOTNOTE statement, add it to you annotation. On the SGPLOT statement, specify PAD=(BOTTOM=20px) (change the value to taste) to create space at the bottom of your plot for the annotations. I believe you are using the incorrect column name for your TEXT attribute specifications. Use TEXTFAMILY, TEXTSIZE, TEXTWEIGHT, TEXTSTYLE, and TEXTCOLOR. The easiest way to remember this is that the names line up with the TEXT function name. Hope this helps!   ... View more

To do this for classification values in a variable (such as your panel variable), you will need to use a user-defined format. See the simple example below. Note that, in a user-defined format, you MUST use the default escape sequence (*ESC*) instead of a defined escapechar. proc format; value $super "F"="R(*ESC*){unicode '00b2'x}" "M"="D(*ESC*){unicode '00b2'x}" ; run; proc sgpanel data=sashelp.class; format sex $super.; panelby sex / novarname; scatter x=weight y=height; run; ...

Here is the full explanation of what you saw:   Grouped fits (reg, loess, and pbspline) must be sorted by their group values to be processed correctly. If the data is not already in the correct order, the procedure will sort it internally. For scatter plots (which are typically used), this has no impact. However, for a SERIES plot, this can cause the line to go backwards to follow the data. The best practice for this special case is to sort your data, starting with the group variable from the fit. ... View more

You left art out in your sort. Try sorting by "trt p  t", and see if you get what you expect. ... View more
