With the viewport capability of the PROC IML graphics subroutine, you can arrange several graphs on a page. In this example, multiple graphs are generated from three variables and are displayed in a scatterplot matrix. For each variable, one contour plot is generated with each of the other variables as the dependent variable. For the graphs on the main diagonal, a box-and-whiskers plot is generated for each variable.
This example takes advantage of user-defined PROC IML modules:
- BOXWHSKR
-
computes median and quartiles.
- GBXWHSKR
-
draws box-and-whiskers plots.
- CONTOUR
-
generates confidence ellipses assuming bivariate normal data.
- GCONTOUR
-
draws the confidence ellipses for each pair of variables.
- GSCATMAT
-
produces the
scatter plot matrix, where 
is the number of variables.
The code for the five modules and a sample data set follow. The modules produce Output 16.1.1 and Output 16.1.2.
