SAS/INSIGHT Features Not Available in SAS/IML Studio

The following list presents general features of SAS/INSIGHT that are not included in SAS/IML Studio:

SAS/INSIGHT can be launched from SAS DMS mode (from the SAS program editor, from the Solutions →Analysis menu, or from the SAS command line).
SAS/INSIGHT shares the libraries and catalogs defined in DMS mode.
SAS/INSIGHT automatically recomputes analyses (including curves on graphs) and statistics if data are changed.
SAS/INSIGHT supports recording an interactive session for later playback.

The following list presents features of SAS/INSIGHT data views (tables and plots) that are not included in SAS/IML Studio.

multiple plots in a single window
“renewing” a plot or analysis
GUI support for animation
changing the orientation of plots
changing the formats of table cells after the table is created
saving tables to data sets after they are created
changing the attributes of a curve after it is created
user-defined formats
a “Tools window” for rapidly changing attributes of markers and curves
a mechanism to set a common view range for all plots that display a given variable
multiple plots (for example, BY-group plots and scatter plot matrices) in a single window

The following list presents features of SAS/INSIGHT analyses that are not included in SAS/IML Studio.

adding or deleting curves, graphs, variables, and tables from existing analyses without explicitly rerunning the analysis
“group” variables for the analysis of BY-groups
“freezing” an analysis for easy comparison with subsequent analyses
sliders for interactively varying parameters in models
creating a parametric CDF
a kernel smoother for scatter plot smoothing
maximum redundancy analysis
biplots for many multivariate analyses
