TITLE, SUBTITLE, and FOOTNOTE Subcommands (GRAPH command)

TITLE, SUBTITLE, and FOOTNOTE specify lines of text placed at the top or bottom of the chart.

  • One or two lines of text can be specified for TITLE or FOOTNOTE, and one line of text can be specified for SUBTITLE.
  • Each line of text must be enclosed in quotes. The maximum length of any line is 72 characters.
  • The default font sizes and types are used for the title, subtitle, and footnote.
  • By default, the title, subtitle, and footnote are left-aligned with the y axis.
  • If you do not specify TITLE, the default title, subtitle, and footnote are null, which leaves more space for the chart. If split-file processing is in effect, the split-file information is provided as a default subtitle.

Example

GRAPH TITLE = 'Murder in Major U.S. Cities'
 /SUBTITLE='per 100,000 people'
 /FOOTNOTE='The above data was reported on August 26, 1987'
 /BAR=SUM(MURDER) BY CITY.
