One of the things we've done in the past when trying to force regions into the same hemisphere, rather than looking at a specific identifier, which certainly works in this case, but to simply check the longitude value.  If you want everything in the eastern hemisphere, then just do the +360 adjustment for any value of the longitude that is < 0.  The only time this did not work well was dealing with Russia, which has a single land mass that spans the 180 meridian.  Obviously, if you want everything to appear in the western hemisphere, do the opposite adjustment. ...

It sounds like you're asking 2 questions here: Is there a way to project points to maps in the MAPSGFK library? Can I get my points to work with the MAPSGFK.US data?   So, for #1, yes there is.  You can use the PARMIN= option to PROC GPROJECT to project for any map in the MAPSGFK library except for the one you're trying to use.  That get's me to #2, which the answer is "no".  The US map you show has specially-processed data to bring in AK and HI from their normal locations.  Furthermore, different projections were used on them, and they were scaled.  So there is no single command to project to that map.   For the other maps that you can use the PARMIN= option, you simply specify the name of the dataset you'd like it to be projected for.  They're all located in the MAPSGFK.PROJPARM data set.   Hope this helps, and happy mapping!   Jeff Phillips SAS ...

Yes, I see we have problems there too.  I have both fixed now and it will be available in the 8.3.1 release of Visual Analytics due out late this year. ... View more

Good news:  I found the problem. Bad news:  It's a bug in our code that converts the data.   I'm not sure when I can get a fix for you yet, but in the meantime, you can display the points in the 28992 by using the arcgisonline.nl maps.  However, the data has to be in some other coordinate system.  I noticed with the data you sent, there are lat/lon values in there as well.  Those should work.   I'll post back once I know when my fix for this problem can be obtained. ...

You can attach an Excel spreadsheet or a sas data set or you can email it to me at jeff.phillips@sas.com.  Does it matter which map service is chosen from the ones available at the site listed? ... View more

There is an appropriate place in the panel for creating a geography variable where you can enter custom coordinate spaces for your custom coordinates.  From the drop-down under "Coordinate space" at the bottom of the panel, choose "Custom" and then a text box will appear where you can enter your custom value.  "EPSG:28992" will work in your case.   VA supports as many data coordinate systems as it does display coordinate systems.  Not every data system is compatible with every display system, but that is not the case here since both your data and view are 28992.  Here is what the panel should look like:   If this does not work for you, perhaps you can share your coordinates and I can investigate further. ...

The question is very open-ended. I think the answer you're probably looking for is that SAS does not have any product that produces cartograms. However, map data in SAS is in data sets and the coordinates can be manipulated using data step. There are algorithms available that could be used and translated into data step to alter the coordinate map data to effectively make a cartogram. I know that's not the answer you probably wanted, but at least "SAS will let [you] create" a cartogram. 🙂 ... View more
