25583 - Plotting two variables using the PLOT statement with PROC GPLOT

Sample 25583: Plotting two variables using the PLOT statement with PROC GPLOT

This sample uses the PLOT statement with PROC GPLOT to create two graphs. The first PLOT statement plots the variable HEIGHT against the variable WEIGHT, while the second PLOT statement plots a regression analysis with confidence limits.

The graphics output in the Results tab was produced using SAS® 9.2. Submitting the sample code with releases of SAS prior to SAS 9.2 might produce different results.
