SAS MACRO PLOTMAT

[deleted_user]

Want to creat a scatterplot matrix with means and correlations, know that sas macro plotmat can do this...
Does sas macro work under sas?
The link

the code looks weird...

That paper was written quite awhile ago and there have been a number of graphing advances. Take a look at PROC SGSCATTER (in SAS/GRAPH). It may do what you want with a lot less heartburn.

Now I see from an earlier post

that you do not yet have SAS9.2 and therefore SGSCATTER is not available.

The macro presented in the paper is creating a series of independent graphs and then pasting them into a graphics template (different than an ODS template). I have not tried the code, but it may work 'out of the box' for you. If not, there will be several learning opportunities for you. Good luck.

OK so I was curious. I tried the %PLOTMAT macro on three variables in sashelp.class and it worked as advertised.
