KNOCKOFF
Drawing inspiration from Robert Allison's fine SAS reproductions of R, Excel, Tableau, SPSS, Matlab, JS, and Python data vizzes, thought I'd see if I could create something similar to the Happy-Holidays-From-SAS tree with a short SAS ODS Graphics program. My knockoff wasn't as successful as Robert's work, but it's good enough for fun-with-SAS-ODS-graphics work. Merry Xmas!
CODE
* SAS ODS Graphics take on Happy-Holidays-From-SAS tree;
data treepoints; * Get dimensions, colors of SAS tree image circles;
infile cards truncover; * Dimensions obtained from MS-Paintbrush (x/y values);
input centerX centerY topY color : $12.; * Origin of circle (x/y), top of circle (y), color;
maxradius=centerY-topY; * Compute radius;
Height=521; * Convert y-values from 0=top to 0=bottom;
topy=height-topy;
centerY=height-centerY;
subcircle=1; * Subcircles 1-5 are opaque, 6-8 semi-transparent;
blank="";
do radius=maxradius*.3 to maxradius by maxradius*.1; * Eight subcircles per circle;
circle+1;
output;
subcircle+1;
end;
