Working with Time Series Data

Plotting Time Series

This section discusses SAS procedures available for plotting time series data. This section assumes you are generally familiar with SAS plotting procedures and only discusses certain aspects of the use of these procedures with time series data.

The Time Series Viewers displays and analyzes time series plots for time series data sets which do not contain cross-sections. Refer to the Chapter 23, "Getting Started with Time Series Forecasting," later in this book.

The GPLOT procedure produces high resolution color graphics plots. Refer to SAS/GRAPH Software: Reference, Volume 1 and Volume 2 for information about the GPLOT procedure, SYMBOL statements, and other SAS/GRAPH features.

The PLOT procedure and the TIMEPLOT procedure produce low resolution line printer type plots. Refer to the SAS Procedures Guide for information about these procedures.
