  1. Using PROC SGPLOT for Quick High Quality Graphs Lora Delwiche Susan Slaughter

  2. ODS Graphics • New with SAS 9.2 Phase 1 • Need SAS/GRAPH • Statistical procedures now produce graphics • New procedures just for graphing • SGPLOT • SGSCATTER • SGPANEL • SGRENDER

  3. SGPLOT • 15 types of graphs • Simple statements • Can combine graphs • Results in standard image file formats • View graphs in standard viewers • Use ODS styles and destinations

  21. Does everyone have the handout? • Step-by-step instructions • Tables of selected SGPLOT statements • The workshop materials can be found at http://support.sas.com/events/sasglobalforum/2009/handson

  22. Controlling plot structure • Most plot types • Can add grouping variable • Some plot types have additional options • HISTOGRAM and DENSITY • Scale for axis (percent, count, or proportion) • VBAR and HBAR • Numeric response variable

  23. Controlling graph appearance • LABEL statement • User-defined formats • General SGPLOT options • Legend labels • Transparency settings • Displaying markers (or not)

  24. Controlling graph appearance • Options specific to plot type • REG • Display confidence limits • SCATTER • Label data points • NEEDLE • Baseline value

  25. Optional Statements • Reference lines • X or Y axis • Can add labels • Axis attributes • Labels • Type (Discrete, Linear, Log or Time) • Values for tics • Grid • Insets

  26. Attributes • Markers • Symbol • Color • Size • Lines • Pattern • Color • Thickness • Fill • Color

  27. ODS Destinations • Uses standard ODS destinations • LISTING • HTML • PDF • RTF

  28. ODS Styles • For LISTING destination styles apply to graphs only • Can use any style for example: • ANALYSIS Color • STATISTICAL Color • JOURNAL Gray Scale • JOURNAL2 Black and White

  29. ODS Graphics Editor • Make changes to existing graphs • LISTING destination must be open • SGEDIT ON • SGEDIT OFF • Additional methods in SAS 9.2 Phase 2

  30. SGPANEL • Most statements same as SGPLOT • Just add PANELBY statement • Produces separate plot for each value of PANELBY variable
