This example demonstrates how to use SAS/GRAPH to draw a sudoku grid,
and populate the boxes with numbers.  Rick Langston used this a few 
years ago to draw the grids for his SAS Global Forum presentation 
where he had a program that uses SAS to *solve* the puzzles.
(this example is just the drawing the grid part ... not the 
automatic solving part!)

Currently the data is all hard-coded ... but you could modify it however you want.

/* Some sudoku data from example in ...
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudoku
   I number each box in the grid with its x/y coordinate as the x_y_id
   (the coordinate system starts at the bottom/left)
*/


Here's the SAS Global Forum example the solves sudoku puzzles...
