Abstract:
There are many types of graphics displays that you might need to create on a daily basis. In SAS ® 9.2, SAS/
GRAPH introduced a family of new procedures that enable you to create graphs quickly and efficiently. With very
little coding effort, you can create effective and attractive graphics that can be as simple as scatter plots and bar
charts, or as complex as multi-page classification panels.
The new statistical graphics (SG) family of procedures includes SGPLOT, SGPANEL, and SGSCATTER. The
SGPLOT procedure creates single-celled graphs that can be constructed with a variety of plot and chart types. The
SGPANEL procedure creates paneled graphs in which the paneling is driven by classification variables. The
SGSCATTER procedure creates paneled scatter plots and matrices that have support for fitted lines, confidence
bands, and computed ellipses. These three procedures are designed with a syntax that is powerful yet concise. This
presentation provides examples that illustrate how you can use these procedures in your own work.
Abstract:
The SAS/GRAPH® SG procedures provide an extensive set of plots and supporting statements to create common graphs. However, there are creative ways to combine the statements and options in these procedures that might not be obvious. This presentation will reveal some of these techniques, enabling you to create many of the specialized graphs you need in your industry.
These are some of the techniques that will be discussed:
• creating an area plot from a band plot
• displaying your custom limit calculations
• using a vector plot for event and high-low types of plots
• using paneling options for group axis effects
The SAS/GRAPH ODS Graphics Designer is an interactive graphical application that is used to create and design ODS graphics.
