Introduction to SAS/GRAPH Network Visualization Workshop

SAS/GRAPH Network Visualization Workshop is an interactive, graphics-oriented application for visualizing and investigating data. The application uses visualization techniques that enable you to detect patterns and extract information that might be concealed, often in very large quantities of data. SAS/GRAPH Network Visualization Workshop is particularly useful for examining network data (that is, data that is structured into nodes and links that connect the nodes). SAS/GRAPH Network Visualization Workshop is one of the SAS/GRAPH suite of products and requires SAS/GRAPH to be installed on the system.
Here are the major tasks that you can perform:
  • explore both network and non-network relational data
  • render data in any of five different types of statistical graph: bar charts, box plots, histograms, pie charts, and scatter plots
  • render network data in any of five layout patterns: circular, hierarchical, hexagonal, multi-level force, and fixed position
  • explore and manipulate data in data tables (for example, by sorting the data)
  • visualize and manipulate data in graphs using tools such as the zoom and lens tool
  • use a combination of data tables, statistical graphics, and network graphs to selectively view and filter your data
  • use different selection modes on your data tables, statistical graphics, and network graphs to graphically subset data at multiple levels
  • save your data tables and associated graphs as projects that can be reopened with a single menu command
