Basic Statistical Graphics Using SAS174; 9.2 and 9（基本统计图形使用sas 174;9.2和9）.pdf

Basic Statistical Graphics Using SAS® 9.2 and 9.3 This handout introduces the use of the SAS statistical graphics procedures:  Proc Sgplot  Proc Sgpanel  Proc Sgscatter These are stand-alone procedures that create high quality graphs using a few simple SAS commands. These procedures can create boxplots, barcharts, histograms, scatterplots, line plots, and scatterplot matrices, among other things. These procedures use the ODS (Output Delivery System), which is also used by many SAS/Stat procedures to create graphs as a part of their output. See the document on my web page, ODS Graphics Using SAS.doc for several examples of getting ODS graphs from statistical procedures. Another helpful document with lots of examples is Using PROC SGPLOT for Quick High Quality Graphs by Susan Slaughter and Lora Delwiche. Getting Started Graphs generated using Statistical Graphics procedures will automatically be saved as .png files in your Current SAS Folder in Windows. To set the Current Folder, double-click on the location listed at the bottom of the SAS desktop and browse to the desired folder. Make sure you have double-clicked on the name of the folder. Set the current folder before you submit the SAS commands to create the Statistical Graphs. The files generated by these three procedures are .png (portable network graphics) files, which can be easily imported into other applications, such as Microsoft Word and Power Point. Because .png files use raster graphics they are very compact, and take up less space than .bmp files, for example. You can double-click on the .png files to view them, and they will open using your default Windows application for viewing pictures, or you can view them as thumbnails in the folder where they are saved. They will be given names such as SGPlot.png, SGPlot1.png, etc. The png files will be saved in your results window, as shown below:
