SAS/GRAPH: Essentials

This course teaches you how to produce high-quality presentation graphics using SAS/GRAPH software.

The self-study e-learning includes:

• Annotatable course notes in PDF format.
• Virtual Lab time to practice.

Obiettivi

• design graphs that describe data in the most appropriate fashion
• customize default graphic elements such as axes and legends
• apply annotations that supplement the features that are available with SAS/GRAPH procedures
• deliver graphs in multiple formats, such as static image files and client-generated images.

A chi è rivolto

SAS users who must use SAS program code to generate graphs in batch or noninteractive execution environments, such as SAS Stored Processes, or those who need to produce a large quantity of graphs with minimal user interaction
