Do you want to be more confident when producing GTL graphs? Do you want to know how to layer your graphs using the OVERLAY layout and build upon your graphs using multiple LAYOUT statement? Layouts Single cell Why Learn GTL? Multi-cell Allow for modifications of pre-defined templates Create graphs that cannot be produced from a pre-defined template Easier to incorporate features, such as embedded tables or display different graphs on the same page Per Sanjay Matange (2013, p.5) GTL provides in one system the full set of features that you need to create graphs from the simplest scatter plots to complex diagnostics panels. GTL is the language used to create the templates shipped by SAS for the creation of the automatic graphs from the analytical procedures. To customize one of these graphs, you will need to understand GTL. GTL represents the future for analytical graphics in SAS. New features are being added to GTL with every SAS release.

GRIDDED: multi-cell plots have the same proportion in regards to height and width. LATTICE: very flexible, which allows each cell to have different heights and widths. Both GRIDDED and LATTICE can be used along with the OVERLAY layout. With these two layouts other types of layouts can be nested within each cell. Data-driven (2-D: Panels of similar graphs based on data classification variables): A graph that breaks the graphing area into as many parts necessary based on the data DATAPANEL: Number of cells based on crossings of n classification variables DATALATTICE: Number of cells based on crossings of 1 or 2 classification variables. Both DATAPANEL and DATALATTICE need to use the PROTOTYPE layout.

Click Headings Above to View Content Great Time to Learn GTL Kriss Harris, SAS Specialists Limited; Richann Watson, DataRich Consulting Conclusion Why Learn GTL There are many types of plots with various types of options. The types of graphs that can be produced are limitless. We only touched a very small portion of what GTL is capable of. But with the tools to see how a graph can be broken down into different pieces and then combined together to create the final output, can make a task that may at one time seem impossible, possible.
