Graph Your SASŪ Off
Karena Kong
This paper demonstrates three different SASŪ procedures for creating graphs.
For illustration purposes, the bubble plot, which is created by these procedures, shows the ratio of broadband users (DSL, Cable, Other) ranked by population ("List of countries").
The three procedures are SAS/Graph - GPLOT, Statistical Graphics (SG) - SGPLOT and Graphics Template Language (GTL) - PROC TEMPLATE with SGRENDER.
This paper will discuss the advantages and disadvantages between each one. Based on the comparisons, it recommends which procedure should be used to create a similar graph.
