SAS Global Forum 2012 at Orlando, Florida is just round the corner and we are excited to see so many presentations offered by users on SG procedures and GTL.   We'll add a few more on new SAS 9.3 features of SG procedures and GTL.   These include cluster groups for discrete and interval axes, cluster grouped box plots on discrete and interval axes, bubble plot, waterfall chart, attribute maps, annotation and much more.

I will kick off the festivities with a pre-SGF "developer led" 1-day seminar on Friday, April 20, on new features in SG  procedures and GTL features.   Prashant Hebbar will present a paper on Tuesday on using GTL in unexpected ways to create graphs that go beyond the original intent.   Also on Tuesday morning, I will lead a hands-on-workshop on using ODS Graphics Designer for fast graphs.  If you have never used Designer, come on by and see for yourself how this incredible application works (OK, so I am a bit biased 🙂 ).  Additionally, Dan Heath, Prashant, Scott and I will present multiple super demos on these topics.

If you are at SAS Global Forum 2012, be sure to come by the Data Visualization station in the SAS demo room  where we will be on hand to show you all the cool features.  We look forward to hear directly from you about your use cases and your needs for graphics.

And yes, I can hear you thinking "Where's the Graph?"  Believe you me, we'll have plenty to share from SAS Global Forum next week.  In the meantime, please see my article Graphs are easy with SAS 9.3.

See y'all in Orlando.

    In regards to your statement about Attribute Maps. Is there a way just to plot the keylegend without using plot statements such as scatter and series please? So in essence the legend is just on one page,and shows the various attributes of each each id.

    Many thanks in advance,

    Kriss.

      Hmmm, that is an interesting question. At SAS 9.3, I don't see a way of doing this using SG procedure. However, with GTL, you can include a discrete attr map in a legend, and suppress all other drawing to just draw the legend. I will post an example.
