About the Sample Library
The documentation for
each procedure, for global statements, and for features such as the
Annotate facility provide examples that demonstrate these features
of SAS/GRAPH . You can copy
the example code from the help or from the SAS Web site and paste
it into the Program Editor in your SAS session.
These same programs
are also included in the SAS Sample Library. How you access the code
in the sample library depends on how it is installed at your site.
This document
includes the names of each sample file (for example, GBLWTSTA or GCHBRMID).
The naming convention for SAS/GRAPH
samples is Gpcxxxxx,
where pc is the product code
and xxxxx is an abbreviation
of the example title. The product code can be a code for a procedure,
a statement, or in the case of Java and ActiveX examples, WB for “Web
graphs.” For example, the code
for the first example in the GMAP procedure chapter, Using Traditional Map Data to Produce a Simple Block Map, is stored
in sample member GMPSIMPL.

In the SAS Sample Library, the sample programs are organized by product. Within each product category, most of the samples are sorted by procedure. Thus, to access the code for the first example in the GMAP procedure chapter, select Learning to Use SAS
SAS/GRAPH Samples, scroll to GMAP
Procedure, and select GMPSIMPL-Producing
a Simple Block Map.
