I found a very neat poster/graph on the Internet, that dramatically
shows the number of H1N1 (Swine Flu) deaths worldwide, compared
to death by several other causes, for the first 300 days of 2009.

I then re-created it (almost exactly) using SAS/Graph:

h1n1_imitation.htm

And, finally, created an improved SAS/Graph version, based on 
some feedback from our local graphics experts, and such:

h1n1.htm

(sorry it's so big! - this is more of a wall-poster than a graph!)


SAS Technology Used:

I used goptions xpixels/ypixels to create the large graph size.
I used goptions cback=black, and ctext=white to get the reverse colors.
I annotated the bar labels and numbers.
I annotated the group headings below the bars.
I annotated the red skull picture, and the labels in that area.
And, I programmatically calculated the "sums" (which I annotated for the groups, titles, etc).
