Rose Chu writes about a need for graphics output from stat packages. I am
of course heavily biased so anything I say should be taken with several
grains of salt...
If you are using PC SAS to do the analysis, you can use SAS/Graph for PC's
to do the graphics, it is available (was not during early releases of
SAS for PC's). If you want the get the graphics into a Mac, use the
Metagraphics facility in SAS/Graph to generate graphics pseudocodes, and
run them through the Mac Metagraphics facility. This is provided free on
VAX/VMS versions of SAS starting with SAS 5.18, and is available on
request from technical support. It is either free or nearly free, and
comes with a handsome technical report that describes how it works.
This product is completing Q/A cycles now. If you know someone who
recieved the SAS 5.18 X-tape then you can get a copy from them.
This Mac program reads metagraphics files and turns them into PICT
resources so you can paste them into your docs, or save as MacDraw I
files. It also lets you tinker with the color pallettes and patterns
assigned by SAS/Graph to make them more palatable (ha!). This is
especially neat if you have a Mac ][.
I am extremely affiliated with the company that wrote the product, and
am very biased. Be warned.

However, these opinions are mine and only mine. Until I am king...
