There is a new version of this course. Please see Data Visualization Using SAS ODS Graphics.
This course teaches you how to produce high-quality presentation graphs using ODS Graphics, which is part of Base SAS beginning with SAS 9.3.
Learn how to
deliver graphs in multiple formats, such as static image files that can be exported to other applications use the SGPLOT procedure to create scatter plots, line plots, regression plots, bar charts, histograms, and many other commonly used types of graphs use the SGPANEL and SGSCATTER procedures to create multi-cell graphscustomize graph elements such as markers, plot lines, fills, axes, and legends apply annotations that supplement the features available with the procedures of ODS Graphicsuse the Graph Template Language to directly create graph templates that are displayed with the SGRENDER procedureuse the ODS Graphics Designer to interactively create and design custom graphsuse the ODS Graphics Editor to interactively edit and enhance graphs that are produced by ODS Graphics.
Who should attend
SAS users who want to generate and enhance graphs with programming syntax from ODS Graphics
