The idea was to create a book useful for the day to day work as a consulting guide.

To do so we created a book with a lot of code and explanations of the most common and not so common options that can help into the graphics production. All the figures presented in the book contain the code to be able to replicate, always using data available for everybody, such us using SASHELP library or generating our own data.

At the same time, we tried that was accessible for all levels. It goes from a really basic level, explaining the SG procedures (SGPLOT, SGSCATTER and SGPANEL) and increasing in complexity little by little, showing how to extract the GTL code from the SG procedures, introducing PROC TEMPLATE and the different layouts, until we reach the final chapter where we create the shells for the most common figures, using all the learned to create common output requests.
