This is a sas imitation of the Gartner Magic Quadrant plot
found on the following page.

You can get a reasonable-looking "magic quadrant" plot by using
sas/graph gplot, with pointlabels, and then doing simple 
href & vref reference lines through the middle.

But in this one, I wanted it to be 'exactly' like the Gartner one,
so I had to annotate a few things...

I annotated the curved-corner frame around the axis (the normal
sas/graph gplot would have square corners).

I annotated the arrow-lines to the left & bottom of the plot.

I annotated the 4 quadrant names.

I annotated the labels on the data points (because the automatic
'pointlabel' has a length limit of 16, and I also wanted to 
control the individual positions of each label.)

And, one nice addition above/beyone the Gartner plot, I have
added html charttips & drilldowns, so you can click on the points
(or labels) and drilldown to the google plage with info about
that company :)
