This graph uses data from:
http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_os-ww-monthly-200911-201207

That's a web site with *many* interesting data series,
and you can see them by each country, etc.

I selected 1 series (worldwide mobile os popularity), and wrote a
SAS job that would download the latest data, and plot it.

This could could be easily modified to plot other data from
the website!

Aside from importing & transposing the data, I also do a few
"tricky" things in the bar chart, such as: getting a little tricky
so that the legend can overlap into the maxis & gaxis label space,
having the reflines stick out just a little to the right of the 
last bar, so that they look like tickmarks, ordering the legend 
so that it is 'stacked' in the same order as the bar segments, 
making the maxis text smaller & grapy (to de-emphasize it), 
making the maxis & gaxis labels gray (to de-emphasize them), etc.
