Getting Started With SAS Graphics







Starting with SAS 9.2, SAS has made significant strides to upgrade its graphics capabilities. With each version of SAS after 9.2 SAS continues to improve and modernize its graphics capabilities. Since these changes are relatively new, there are only a few resources available to learn these new graphics procedures. Here are a few that I have found helpful.









Statistical Graphics Procedures By Example


This book is a good introductory book in the spirit of the 'By Example' series of books published by SAS. The book is essentially a compendium of statistical graphics and the code used to produce them. A beginning SAS programmer that wants to learn how to make statistical graphics with SAS should start here.


SAS Graph: Beyond the Basics


This book is one level up in sophistication from 'Statistical Graphics Procedures By Example', but this book will not be as useful to everyone. Check the table of contents and see if you are needing these specific types of statistical graphics.


Statistical Graphics in SAS


If you want to be able to produce sophisticated custom statistical graphics in SAS, like you may already do in R, then you will need to read this book so that you can learn the SAS Graph Template Language (GTL). This book also provides an overview of the new statistical graphics procedures (the ones that start with SG - SGPLOT, SGSCATTER, and SGPANEL).
