The title of this week's SAS author's tip amuses me. My non-programming mind is conjuring up a seriously cool PROC that leaps off the page. Or something like that. In reality, when looking for a potential tip in Wendy Bohnenkamp's and Jackie Iverson's book SAS Graphics for Java, I spotted many intriguing-looking graphs. Written for programmers of all levels, this book also contains a lot of tips for creating SAS Graphs-such as this week's excerpt on PROC G3D.

If you like what you see here, head over to the catalog to read more about SAS Graphics for Java including a free chapter from the book.

PROC G3D

The following parameters, when used with the SAS procedure G3D, enable you to modify some text that is output with the graph.

proc g3d data=work.giris;
scatter petallen*petalwid=sepallen / ctext=red;
run;

proc g3d data=work.giris;
scatter petallen*petalwid=sepallen / noaxis;
run;

proc g3d data=work.giris;
scatter petallen*petalwid=sepallen / nolabel;
run;
