The following papers were presented at the SAS Global Forum 2009.

Clinical Trial Reporting Using SAS/GRAPH® SG Procedures (PDF): This paper shows, by example, how concise visual presentations of clinical trial data can easily be created using the SAS/GRAPH® SG procedures. The paper highlights the creation of single-cell and multi-cell graphs using examples commonly encountered in the reporting and analysis of clinical trial data.
PROC GEOCODE: Creating Map Locations from Your Data (PDF): This paper shows PROC GEOCODE examples of both address geocoding and Web address (IP address) geolocating. The paper introduces the concepts needed to understand geocoding, discusses PROC GEOCODE’s current and planned functionality, and, through examples, shows how to use PROC GEOCODE.
Tips and Tricks IV: More SAS/GRAPH® Map Secrets (PDF): This paper shares secrets that will enable you to exploit the power of SAS/GRAPH maps. Using bubble maps, distance and location maps, and floor plan maps—in real user scenarios—it shows how to create rich, informative maps that many users think are not possible.

SGF 2008

The following papers were presented at the SAS Global Forum 2008.

Effective Graphics Made Simple Using SAS/GRAPH® SG Procedures (PDF): This paper discusses the new SAS/GRAPH statistical graphics (SG) family of procedures that enable you to create graphs quickly and efficiently. With very little coding effort, you can create effective and attractive graphics that can be as simple as scatter plots and bar charts, or as complex as multi-page classification panels.
Getting Started with ODS Statistical Graphics in SAS® 9.2 (PDF): This paper presents the essential information you need to get started with ODS Graphics, new functionality for creating statistical graphics. ODS Graphics functionality is available in a number of SAS software products, including SAS/STAT®, SAS/ETS®, SAS/QC®, and SAS/GRAPH®.
SAS® Graphics on ODS 9.2 Performance-Enhancing Steroids (PDF): This paper shows you how to customize professional-looking graphics in seconds with a variety of appearances. ODS graphical style enhancements provide advanced capabilities to unleash your creativity without you having to spend endless hours manipulating options.

SGF 2007

The following papers were presented at the SAS Global Forum 2007.

Making Business Decisions Using SAS Mapping Technologies (PDF): This paper gives an overview of the SAS mapping technologies that allow you to integrate geographic information with the analytic capabilities of SAS to aid in making business decisions.
New SAS/GRAPH® Procedures for Creating Statistical Graphics in Data Analysis (PDF): This presentation provides examples showing how you can use the new SAS/GRAPH "SG" procedures in your work: SGPLOT, SGPANEL, SGSCATTER, and SGRENDER.
SAS/AF: Running SCL Outside the Frame (PDF): This paper gives a very brief overview of SCL and discusses creating batch SCL programs.
