Show Them What's Important With Communication-Effective SAS Graphs: Solutions for a Finite Work Day in an Era of Information Overload

Overview In this era of information overload and incessant instant information update, what are the best ways to visually and memorably communicate, and to meet the six crucial criteria of concise, clear, complete, correct, convincing, and current? This paper uses illustrations, design guidelines, and code to answer that question. Communication-effective SAS graphs visually say the most with the least, to focus on what matters. Solutions are provided for production applications, i.e., for overnight or on-demand batch jobs or for real-time SAS/IntrNet response, where the graph has to be right the first time every time, with no opportunity for iterative refinement that might be tolerable for ad hoc presentation preparation. Ways that Version 9.2 makes results more communication-effective are emphasized.
