Note: For a better & more generalized way to do "waterfall" charts,
I recommend this other example! ...

This is my SAS/Graph version of the graph from p. 52 of the following publication:
(or see screen_capture in 1st link)

This one is a bit sneaky ...

To get the "floating bar" segments, I actually put a bar segment under them,
but made it 'invisible' by making it the same color as the background (white)
and making the outlines of the bar segments the same as the bar segments
(coutline=same).

On the horizontal axis, I use the 'split=' option to split the bar label 
text onto multiple lines.

I annotate the gray text box, and I use the new annotate 'arrow' function
to draw the arrow to the desired bars.
