About Traditional Map Data Sets
Background
Traditional map
data sets have been available since the inception of SAS/GRAPH . These map data sets
are resident in both the MAPS and MAPSSAS libraries. The library
reference (libref) MAPSSAS is set during system configuration and
cannot be changed. MAPSSAS is provided for ease-of-use when using
the MAPS= system option within SAS. Use the option to point to either
the traditional map data set library MAPSSAS or the GfK map data set
library MAPSGFK.
Traditional Map Data Sets Containing Only X and Y
The traditional map data sets
that contain X and Y variables (and no LONG and LAT variables), are
usually projected maps. However, there are a few traditional map data
sets for the US and Canada that contain X and Y values that are unprojected
longitude and latitude. In this case, you need to use the GPROJECT
procedure to project the map. (SeeGPROJECT Procedure).
Note: You can determine whether
a SAS traditional map data set is projected or unprojected in one
of two ways. You can look at the description of each variable that
is displayed when you use the CONTENTS procedure. You can also browse
the MAPS.METAMAPS data set. An example of using the CONTENTS procedure
follows:
proc contents data=maps.chile; /*<libref.datatsetname> */ run;
