Well, there's a way to get the ranges to print.. but then
you don't see the midpoints.  If you change your code to:


proc gchart data=sashelp.class;
  vbar weight / level=4 RANGE;
  run;


This cause the x-axis to show the ranges for each of the
bars, *instead* of the midpoints.  If you want both, then you'll
have to do some gyrations.

Oh, and if a value hits on a border between two bars, I think
that it gets put into the higher category.

HTH,
David
