Visualizing Your Data With SG Procedures

Representing your data in graphical form is a great method for communicating information. By using the SG procedures of ODS Graphics, you can easily create a wide variety of standard graphs. This presentation explores the PROC SGPLOT step for producing simple to advanced single-cell graphs. Also, the capabilities of the SGSCATTER, SGPANEL, SGPIE and SGMAP procedures are demonstrated.

Was reviewing the video for a class. We had to take all the smaller sas files and combine to code into one. well the titles from the SGPLOT example carried over to the following plots. Use this line before ods graphics / reset. title; /* cancel the TITLE, TITLE2, and TITLE3 statements */ to remove the tiles so they do not show on following plots.

Solid description of the SG Plotting Functions though it is time for SAS to update its sample data sets. Hope the session will remain open so that I can refer people to it in the near future.

Pls can you give example of SGMAP Procedure

Team identifies the city, but some cities have more than one team. You need to either subset the data (just NL or AL) or create a combination variable of city and league. Your bar charts show longer lines for NY and Chicago, because each have 2 teams. Your results are not meaningful.
