SAS/GRAPH is the data visualization and presentation (graphics)
component of the SAS System. As such,
SAS/GRAPH does the following::
-
organizes the presentation of your
data and visually represents the relationship between data values
as two- and three-dimensional graphs, including charts, plots, and
maps.
-
enhances the appearance of your
output by allowing you to select text fonts, colors, patterns, and
line styles, and control the size and position of many graphics elements.
-
creates presentation graphics.
SAS/GRAPH can create text slides,
display several graphs at one time, combine graphs and text in one
display, and create automated presentations.
-
generates a variety of graphics
output that you can display on your screen or in a Web browser, store
in catalogs, or review. You can send the graphics output to a hard
copy graphics output device such as a laser printer, plotter, or slide
camera.
-
provides utility procedures and
statements to manage the output.
The following topics
describe the graphs that are produced by
SAS/GRAPH and explain some of the features of
