Introduction

SAS/GRAPH software enables you to display your data graphically. To create a variety of plots, you can use the GPLOT procedure within SAS/GRAPH software.

This lesson shows you how to create single plots and overlaid plots, as well as how to refine the plots by specifying plotting symbols, tick-mark values for the axes, and methods of interpolating plotted points. You also learn different ways of viewing and storing graphs.
