Introduction

If you completed the lesson , you saw that adding titles and footnotes, replacing variable names with descriptive labels, or formatting variable values can increase the clarity of your SAS output. SAS provides these and many additional ways to enhance the appearance and effectiveness of your SAS/GRAPH output.

This lesson reviews how to assign titles, footnotes, labels, and formats. Then it shows you how to enhance titles and footnotes, how to control statistics in bar charts, and how to assign labels to statistics in horizontal bar charts. As you enhance your graphs, you'll learn how to use RUN-group processing to make it easier to create the graphs you want. You'll also learn to export your SAS/GRAPH output in a wide range of formats. Finally, you'll learn to create interactive graphs, using the SAS/GRAPH control for ActiveX.
