Where in the World Are SAS/GRAPH® Maps? An Exploration of the Old and New SAS® Mapping Capacities

SAS® has an amazing arsenal of tools to use and display geographic information that is relatively unknown and underutilized. This presentation will highlight both new and existing capacities for creating stunning, informative maps as well as using geographic data in other ways. SAS provided map data files, functions, format libraries and other geographic data files will be explored in detail. Custom mapping of geographic areas will be discussed. Maps produced will include use of both the annotate facility (including some new functions) and PROC GREPLAY. Products used are Base SAS and SAS/Graph. SAS programmers of any skill level will benefit from this presentation.
