This folder contains the samples from the "SAS/GRAPH Examples" book... http://www.sas.com/apps/pubscat/bookdetails.jsp?catid=1&pc=56022 The above book is *the* best resource for learning how to create custom SAS/Graphics (imho). The samples are 15-20 years old, but the basic techniques used still work today! The code here has no comments, nor descriptions of how it works. I highly recommend buying the book, which does an *excellent* job of describing how this (somewhat tricky) code works, with lots of diagrams, illustrations, and such! As of 09feb2010, the SAS Warehouse had 15 copies of this book. Get them while you can! :) ----- When you go to the above page, there is a 'More About This Book' section on the left, and it has a 'SAS Code Used' link, which gives you all the sas code for the examples. Being written in 1993, and with several new versions of SAS since then, some of the original code doesn't run as-is anymore. Therefore I've updated all the samples to run well in v9.2 & V9.3 SAS. I've enhanced the code to use the smooth-edged (anti-aliased) "albany amt" font, rather than the jagged-edged 'swiss' and 'zapf' SAS/Graph software fonts. As of v9.2, the "albany amt" font ships with SAS, and it works on all platforms (Windows, Unix, and Mainframe). Note that the changes to the code are *mimimal* ... mostly having to do with hard-coded fonts, and text size. The book's descriptions of how the code works are still 99.9% valid. Aside from the text changes, a few of the map names have changed, and the countries included in the europe map have changed (therefore I had to exclude more countries, to get the 1993 map). I modified all the examples to run using device=png (which is similar to gif), and they all use "ods html" now. This provides nice flexibility and functionality for producing web-output. I have also added html charttips (rollover/hover text) in a few of the examples where that would provide added benefit (such as mousing over areas in a map, to see the name of that area).
