DESCRIPTION

Whether you use data for good like Jake Porway, or you're just a nosy-busybody like Gladys Kravitz, Open Data is likely to pique your interest.

Take the City of Chicago Salary Data, for example. Read it into SAS, and you can remix new and old visualization tips from Graphically Speaking bloggers Prashant Hebbbar and Sanjay Matange to start gaining some insight into the data.

For example, crime may not pay, but it certainly costs. Big time. And while a cop's salary might look attractive at first glance, you can make even better coin as an IT staffer - without putting your life in jeopardy. And last, but not least, you're much better off financially being the Aviation Chief than the Mayor!

Very nice. With SAS 9.4, you can now use the y-axis option SplitPolicy=split to avoid long y-axis tick values.

proc sgplot data=sashelp.heart;
hbar deathcause / response=systolic stat=mean;
yaxis fitpolicy=split;
run;
