SAS/Graph imitation of the following dashboard/map:
http://www.clearlyandsimply.com/.a/6a00e554d9fb9988330120a57ade20970b-pi

The original was created by Robert Mundigl, using Excel, for his blog:
http://www.clearlyandsimply.com/clearly_and_simply/2009/01/lithuania-at-a-glance.html

I intentionally deviate from the original a bit.  For example,
I color some extra things red, making it easier to see what the
"selected group" is.  Also, I don't color the female age 30-34 
bar red (in the paired bar chart), because females are not 
the selected group.  I put the selected/red/males pie slice
on the right-hand-side of the pie, so it will match the 
left/right of the paired bar chart above it.  And all my
bars & map areas have mouse-over text.

I use SAS/Graph proc gmap for the main map, with the selected 
map area outlined in red (using annotate).

The old traditional maps only have the outline of lithuania,
so I had to use the new GFK maps to get the county-level borders.
I also had to gremove the internal boundaries for the areas smaller
than counties (ie, a bit of prep work to get the map I wanted).

I used proc gchart hbar for the bar charts, and then annotated the
horizontal lines, and the table values.

The pie charts are pretty standard gchart pies.

I place everything on the same page using proc greplay.
(And a proc gslide for the overall title & lines at the top of the page)
