Hi Experts,

I seriously do not konw how Greplay works but needing to create a sales dashboard for my manager.

Is there any weblinks that teach me a step by step procedure in writting Greplay code?

Much Appreciated.

Cheers.

And, in addition to those papers, there are 6 SAS/Graph dashboard examples on the SAS website:

Each of them has a "details" tab, that explains how the code works.

Here is a link to a user group presentation I gave on using PROC GREPLAY with Templates.

Yennie - nice presentation! I'm impressed!

One slight "correction" though (and you might have covered it in your talk, of course, but just not specifically mentioned it on the slide...)

Slide 22 is described as an example of "Panel Coordinate Error" ... but this can actually be used as a _feature_, to produce 3d effects, for example. Here is an example where I use non-rectangular greplay panels to display several gmaps (floorplan maps) on the same page, in such a way that it has a "3d" look:
