Similar to my democd6 - here are some more great sas graphics
examples.  Most/all of these examples should work at v8.2.

Here's how I chose these examples...

Since so many people *love* and use Microsoft Excel graphs,
I thought it would be a nice little 'test' to see if sas/graph can 
produce all of the types of charts that Excel can.  I tried to 
make all the sas versions so that they very closely resembled
the Excel chart gallery thumbnails ? but, of course, I also 
tried to make sure that the sas versions looked somewhat 
'better' :-)   I also added html= charttips for the sas versions,
since that's something that I think Excel does not support.

I wrote these examples so that they should be *very* simple
to re-use the sas code, and swap in other data.  I'm hoping 
that these will be useful in-general (as a starting place for
people who want to create sas/graph charts), and also as
a sales & marketing tool to show customers that we can
indeed compete head-to-head with Excel graphs, and that
we show very favorably against Excel - even though our 
GUIs for creating graphs (such as EG and graph-n-go) will 
probably never be as easy & popular as Excel.

I recommend IE rather than netscape for viewing these graphs,
because netscape does not support the html alt= flyover text, 
which many examples use.

All of the code for these examples was written by Robert Allison.
These examples (intentionally) look very much like the graphs 
in Microsoft Excel, but the examples and sas code used here 
were totally written from scratch (ie, no code was "borrowed" 
or "stolen" - it was all written totally from scratch by 
Robert Allison).
