Starting with Graphs

StaceyB — Fri, 20 Mar 2015 10:38:29 GMT

I'm an experienced SAS user but haven't had any experience creating graphs in SAS.

My first questions is: Can I create any basic graphs at all with just Base SAS or do I have to have SAS Graph to do any graphing what-so-ever?

If I can create a basic graph in Base SAS where do I start? I'm looking for the simplest proc statement to just get started with.

I got started. Tell me this - if I can run a proc sgplot does that mean I have SAS Graph. I'm thinking it does and that I must already have SAS Graph and didn't know it.

SGPLOT is part of Base SAS (since SAS 9.3). Some traditional SAS graphical procedures -- GPLOT, GCHART, GMAP -- these are part of SAS/GRAPH. To see if you have SAS/GRAPH, run:

proc product_status; run;

Example partial output:

For Base SAS Software ...

Custom version information: 9.4_M2

Image version information: 9.04.01M2P072314

For SAS/STAT ...

Custom version information: 13.2

For SAS/GRAPH ...

Custom version information: 9.4_M2

For SAS/ETS ...

Custom version information: 13.2

For SAS/OR ...

For SAS/IML ...
