Proc Plot

Contents Index

Proc plot can be used to produce rather crude graphical output on any printer. High quality graphics are produced with proc gplot.

Suppose the data set airline contains the number of air passenger miles flown each year in the variable miles and also the variable year. The commands

proc plot data=airline;
	plot miles*year;
run;

produces a plot of the data. If the variable revenue contains revenue data for each year, two seperate plots can be obtained by

proc plot data=airline;
	plot miles*year;
	plot revenue*year;
run;

This could also be done using

proc plot data=airline;
	plot miles*year revenue*year;
run;

A plot with both miles and revenue on one graph is obtained using the /overlay option.

proc plot data=airline;
	plot miles*year revenue*year /overlay;
run;
