Graphing your data

[Sean_OConnor]

Folks,

I would like to graph the results of my analysis for a an academic paper but I'd like to be able to fit three graphs on to one word document page. Would anyone know how to amend the sample code below so the graphs would all fit neatly together so I could simply copy and paste into a word document.

Any amendments to the code below to perhaps make a better looking graph is welcome also.

Kind regards,

Sean

Step 1: Move away from gplot to a more modern graphing system - sgplot and graph template language.

Step 2: Examine the posts in this excellent blog which shows hundreds of graph types with code:

http://blogs.sas.com/content/graphicallyspeaking/

So using graph template language, you can use gridded:

Or you can use proc sgpanel:
