How to plot 2 data set (different kind of graphs) side by side on 1 page

deleted_user — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:32:53 GMT

I know SAS can plot multiple graphs on one page, but how to plot 2 different kind of graphs out of 2 data set, side by side on 1 page?

for example, I have "history overlay" and "forecast vs actual" for the same items, and I wanna show 2 report for each item on 1 page.

Is there any gplot option or procedure to complish it easily? Thanks,

Hi:
For regular (GPLOT,GCHART) SAS/GRAPH, you can "replay" SAS/GRAPH images (such as a plot and a chart) side by side using the GREPLAY procedure. There are a number of predefined SAS/GRAPH layout templates that you can use for this. For more information about GREPLAY:
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/graphref/61884/HTML/default/greplay-proc-greplay-statement.htm

If your destination of choice is ODS HTML, you can investigate the HTMLPANEL variation of that destination:
[pre]
ODS TAGSETS.HTMLPANEL ....
[/pre]

which will allow you to design side by side tables, side by side graphs or side by side tables and/or graphs in just about any combination, as described here:

If you destination of choice is ODS PDF, then you can investigate the use of COLUMNS=2, which sometimes will be sufficient or you can investigate the new ("pre-production") ODS LAYOUT capability.
