SAS ODS graphics users will learn in this book how to visually understand and communicate the significance of data to deliver images for quick and easy insight, with precise numbers. The data visualization tool used is SAS ODS Graphics, but the principles are software independent, relevant for any tool. Graphs can make it unnecessarily difficult to understand the data, can confuse the viewer, or can mislead the viewer. If a graph needs an explanation, it has failed to communicate. The book presents examples of bar charts, pie charts, and trend lines or time series plots, the graph types commonly used in business, other organizations, and the media for visual insight into data. Newer graphs are also included: dot plots, needle plots, waterfall charts, butterfly charts, heat maps, bubble plots, step plots, high-low plots, and donut charts. In addition, there are basic tools of statistics: scatter plots, box plots, histograms, fit and confidence plots, and distributions.
