The page has two links, one to a display of a map and the other the data and program code to create the display. It uses map data sets from the SAS Graph map library.</P> Fri, 28 Apr 2017 15:40:39 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/Is-there-a-general-Spatial-Weight-Matrix-for-the-SAS-maps-data/m-p/354511#M273948 ballardw 2017-04-28T15:40:39Z
