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:
