Curve labels in series plots can be positioned inside or outside the graph. Date variables can be specified as TYPE=LINEAR with a date format or more commonly as TYPE=DATE. Sometimes external curve labels might appear below or above the graph, particularly with TYPE=DATE axes. This post shows you ways to move them to the right of the graph.
Last year, a user asked about creating a "Turnip Plot" as used in this study of Caesarian Section Rates. Primarily, this is similar to a histogram on the y-axis for each unique value on the y-axis. A marker is drawn for each occurrence, starting from the center. Back then, I
I hope everyone has noticed some new shortcuts in Graphically Speaking. As you scroll down and look to the right, there are shortcuts for Sanjay's getting started and clinical graphs posts and one for my advanced blogs. When Sanjay asked me to make an icon for my advanced blogs, at

In PROC GLM and most other procedures that compute LS-means, mean comparisons are now displayed graphically. This makes comparisons between a large number of groups easier to interpret.
On a recent visit to an In-House Users Group meeting at a Pharmaceutical company, I presented a 1/2 day seminar on creating Clinical Graphs using SG Procedures. Polling the audience for their experience with these procedures indicated that many SAS users are not familiar with these new ways to create graphs. So,
This post shows how to use PROC SGPLOT together with PROC TRANSREG to fit monotonically increasing or decreasing functions through a scatter plot.
In the previous article on Getting Started with Vertical HighLow Plot, I described how we can use the HighLow plot to display the stock price by date. The HighLow plot is specifically designed for such use cases as shown below. The data is downloaded from the Nasdaq web site, and
