This course teaches you how to produce high-quality presentation graphics using SAS/GRAPH software.
The self-study e-learning includes:
Annotatable course notes in PDF format.
Virtual Lab time to practice.
Learn How To
design graphs that describe data in the most appropriate fashion
customize default graphic elements such as axes and legends
apply annotations that supplement the features that are available with SAS/GRAPH procedures
deliver graphs in multiple formats, such as static image files and client-generated images.
Who Should Attend
SAS users who must use SAS program code to generate graphs in batch or noninteractive execution environments, such as SAS Stored Processes, or those who need to produce a large quantity of graphs with minimal user interaction
Prerequisites
Before attending this course, you should complete the SAS Programming 1: Essentials course or have equivalent programming experience.
