Introduction to SAS 9.2 Graphics Templates
SAS 9.2 was released in March 2008, and the main interest for me is the new production version of Graphics Templates. This facility allows users to design and generate high quality standardised graphs with minimal effort.
Holland Numerics have been developing ready-made Graphics Templates that you can buy now, and can also build Graphics Templates for you to your own specifications.

Your chance to get a head start with your SAS 9.2 Graphics Templates
The Graphics Templates require a licence for SAS/GRAPH 9.2, and will work with standard, or your own, ODS styles, to give you repeatable and high quality graphics with the minimum of setup.
Prices for the ready-made templates are GBP 100 (including VAT, if in the EU), and for the made-to-measure templates are GBP 250 (including VAT, if in the EU).
Forest Plot template key
The basic Forest Plot template includes:- a linear scaled x-axis,
- labels on both axes,
- "error" bars to user-supplied positions on either side of the plot symbols,
- up to 3 title lines,
- up to 3 footnote lines,
- up to 3 vertical reference lines with labels.
The template number is specified by adding the following key values together to select additional features:
- 1 = diamond symbol
- 2 = square symbol
- 3 = circle symbol
- +10 = add left-hand y-axis line
- +100 = add right-hand comments column
- +1000 = change linear x-axis to automated log scale
- +2000 = change linear x-axis to forced base-10 log scale
See the samples below, which were created using the SAS-supplied ODS style called "Default". Using different ODS styles will change the fonts, line colours and backgrounds to match any table and text reports created using the same styles.
