Here is a Macro that will help you develop SAS/Graph templates,i.e.,devices that will enable you to easily place numerous SAS/Graph Procedure/Annotate outputs on one page. This particular example produces 52 cells (some might think it's a year's worth) on a single page enabling you to exploit Tufte's notion of "small multiples" ( http://www.infovis-wiki.net/index.php?title=Small_Multiples). I once had a client with a large electrostatic printer (500 feet rolls of paper) who had 7 IBM mainframes. My mission was to produce a monthly computer resource utilization "book" from SMF-RMF records (before the days of MICS). My solution was graphical, and I used a SAS/Graph template with 999 cells that could be plotted in one pass with the giant electrostatic printer. Enjoy.
