This did it !Thanks!

PROC GCHART DATA = STATNEW GOUT=GRAPH.grafcat ;
 AXIS1 VALUE = (H=1)
       LABEL = (H=2 A=-90 R=90  'AVERAGE RESPONSE' ) /*  ROTATE LABEL !*/
       ORDER = 0 TO 10 BY 1  ;
  VBAR MONTH  / TYPE=MEAN SUMVAR=&AVERATE
                NAME="&NAME"
                RAXIS=AXIS1 MAXIS=AXIS2 CAXIS=BLACK
                DISCRETE
                ANNOTATE=ANNO4
                HREF=&GOAL;
	....etc code ;;;
As far as I can tell there are no explicit examples in the 6.03 graphics
book and I've only managed to do this in the past when SAS occasionaly
defaulted to this. My previous code was A=90 which put the label on it's
side.

(Ps: I'm using SAS on a 3/150 -Sun OS/4)

Hi;

Try the following:

//

proc gplot data=plotdata;
plot a*b=c     /  vaxis=axis1
                  haxis=axis2
                  legend=legend1;

axis1 label=(a=-90 r=90 'vertical axis label');
axis2 label=('horizontal axis label');
legend1 label=('legend:') across=3 down=1 frame;
run;

//

The a=-90 causes it to be rotated 90 degrees down,   +-- 0 deg
                                                     |
                                                    -90

and the r=90 rotates the letters back to horizontal.  Not terribly intuitive,
but it works. There are lots more details (with examples) in the SAS/GRAPH
manual, in chapter 4 (pp 30-50 and 70-76).

Hope you're using a 386i/486i  :-)
M2.
