Purpose
SAS users in the Health and Life Sciences industry need to create complex graphs so that
biostatisticians and clinicians can use them for analysis of the data. The graphs are also used for
submissions to FDA for drug approvals. These graphs have specific requirements and must be
designed to deliver the data accurately and clearly without distractions. Many users do not have the
skills with SAS graphics tools such as Statistical Graphics (SG) procedures and the Graph Template
Language (GTL) to create such graphs. This book provides the know-how and the code to create the
graphs that are commonly used in this industry.

Is This Book for You?
This book is for the SAS graphics programmer who is responsible for creating sophisticated graphs
for the analysis of clinical trials data. Most of these graphs are not automatically created by some
analytical procedure, and must be custom built. However, many of these graphs are commonly
used in the Health and Life Sciences industry, and there is an effort in the industry to standardize.
This book describes how to create such graphs for intermediate and advanced graph programmers.
