Useful Unicode Values SymbolUnicode (hex) value ≠2260 ≤2264 ≥2265 α03B1 ±00B1 µ00B5

How To Find Unicode Values? Microsoft Word < Insert < Symbol Or look online

Using Symbols – Axis

Using Symbols – Legend

INSERTING TEXT INTO GRAPH

Inserting text with SG Annotation 1 1 * 2 2

TWO-IN-ONE PLOTS

Adverse Event Plot … continued on next slide

Adverse Event Plot - continued

Forest Plot

CONFIDENCE BANDS

Confidence Bands

PANEL PLOT

Panel Plot – GTL

GTL Code If you want a panel of the same type of plot you can easily obtain the GTL code from SGPlot – Use SGPlot to create the plot with all the features you want – Export the GTL code – Modify and render your new graph

GTL – DYNAMIC & MACRO VARIABLES

Reusable Graph Templates – Dynamic & Macro Variables These give you the flexibility to change variable assignments or text insets without recompiling the template

Rendering Your Template

AXIS CUSTOMIZATIONS

X-Axis Customization When tick values do not fit in the axis, SAS will first attempt to split them into multiple rows. If this is not possible, then the values are rotated

X-Axis Customization – Fit Policy Other fitpolicy options are ROTATE, ROTATETHIN, SPLITALWAYS, SPLIT (only splits if labels do not fit), SPLITROTATE (default), STAGGERROTATE,STAGGE RTHIN

X-Axis Customization – Fit Policy

Y-Axis Value Alignment When tick values do not fit in the y- axis, SAS will attempt to split them. The other option is THIN By default values will be aligned to the right

Y-Axis Value Alignment – Left or Center

MARKER CUSTOMIZATION

Using Text As Markers

Using Images As Markers

Adding Hyperlinks To Your Markers Hyperlinks will only work in HTML Data tips are explanatory text that appear when you mouse-over portion of graph

ANIMATED PLOTS
