Introduction to the Graph Template Language

Overview

In SAS 9.2, the SAS/GRAPH Graph Template Language (GTL) goes production. This system is used by many SAS analytical procedures to create the automatic graphical output within the Output Delivery System (ODS). Now, one can access this same system to create one s own custom graphs or to customize the graphs created by the SAS analytical procedures. This paper helps one understand the basics of GTL, and how one can leverage its features to customize the graphs.
