This is an example showing how I created a very specific 
normal-distribution curve graphic someone was needing.

First I generate some random data using the 'rannor()' function.
Then I summarize the random data, doing a summary count of the 
number of y's for each x.  Then I plot this summary data, 
which gives me the curve I wanted.

I then annotate colored 'bars' for the yellow, red, and green areas.
I also use annotate for the dashed-lines, and the 'U' and 'L'
labels under the lines.

For the special 'mu' and 'sigma' characters in the x-axis, I
use the 'greek' sas/graph software font, and hardcode those
characters in the axis label tickmarks.  In the greek font,
the 's' character prints as the sigma symbol, and the 'm'
character prints as the mu symbol.

Scroll down, and you'll see a slightly different version of
the same chart.
