Why would’nt you do graphs in SAS? • SAS Graph codes not intuitive (at first) • Initially faster to do a few graphs in PP than write code • Data not accessible to non-SAS users • Graphs not editable
Why do graphs in SAS? • Consistent • Same fonts, colours , etc from slide to slide • Customizable • Any graph you can do in PowerPoint you can do in SAS • Automatable • Very powerful in macros, stored process and Web Reports • Repeatable!
Graphing procedures • Gplot • Bubbles and lines • Gchart • Pies, Bars, Area, 2D and 3D • Gbarline • Bar and Line • Gmap • Maps • Gkpi • Key Performance Indicators
Conclusion • You can produce professional quality graphs in SAS • Slower at first, but pay off is when you have many slides to do
