For Q1, you can change x to a numeric var then use format to show
the character, this way, the vertical line can be done easily with
vref=...
For Q2, I don't know if there is any workaround, therefore, has to
go annotation route..
data test;
set test;
if groupstr = 'a' then ngrp=1;
else if groupstr = 'b' then ngrp=2;
else if groupstr = 'c' then ngrp=3;
else if groupstr = 'd' then ngrp=4;
else if groupstr = 'e' then ngrp=5;
else if groupstr = 'f' then ngrp=6;
run;
proc format;
value grp
1='a' 2='b' 3='c' 4='d' 5='e' 6='f';
run;
goptions reset=all;
axis1 order=(0 to 7 by 1);
axis2 minor=none;
proc gplot data=test;
plot errcnt*ngrp / vaxis=axis1 haxis=axis2 href=1.5 2.5 3.5 4.5 5.5;
format ngrp grp.;
symbol1 line=1 value=dot interpol=join;
run;
quit;
data anno;
set test;
length function $8;
retain xsys '2' ysys '1' when 'A';
function='move'; y=0; xc=groupstr; midpoint=groupstr; output;
function='draw'; y=100; xc=groupstr; midpoint=groupstr; output;
keep function xsys ysys y xc midpoint when;
run;
proc gchart data=test;
vbar groupstr / type=sum sumvar=errcnt discrete noframe annotate=anno;
run;
quit;
