Extract

The purpose of this announcement is to describe a collection of general macro programs for statistical graphics for use with the SAS System that have been made available in conjunction with the book, SAS system for statistical graphics, first edition (Friendly, 1991). The primary goals of the book are to survey the kinds of graphic displays that are useful for different questions and data, and to show how can these displays be done with the SAS System. It emphasizes displays that reveal aspects of data not easily captured in numerical summaries or tabular formats and diagnostic displays that help determine if assumptions of an analysis are met.

All of the programs use keywords for the required and optional parameters and supply default values where possible to parameters not specified when the macro is invoked.
