ABSTRACT

SAS/GRAPH software is the information and presentation graphics component of the SAS System. As a data analysis and presentation tool, SAS/GRAPH software analyzes your data and visually represents the relationship between data values as two- and three-dimensional graphs, including charts, plots, and maps. It enhances the appearance of your output by allowing you to select text fonts, colors, patterns, and line styles, and control the size and position of many graphics elements.

SAS/GRAPH software can create text slides, display several graphs at one time, combine graphs and text in one display, and create automated presentations. It generates a variety of graphics output that you can display on your screen or in a Web browser, store in catalogs, review, or send to a hardcopy graphics output device such as a laser printer, plotter, or slide camera.

This document was designed for use by the SAS users at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) using version 8.2 of the SAS System. The SAS/Graph and SAS/CONNECT software must be licensed to use this program. The Maps library reference contains map coordinates supplied by SAS.
