Subject:      Nomograms using annotate?
Comments: To: sas-l@uga.edu

Good afternoon All,

I don't believe there is a function in SAS to produce nomograms such
as this one:

Would annotate be the right way to go to get to something like the
above? Does anyone have any advice, based on experience or not, about
this?

Right now, I use Excel to draw the lines to scale, then I export as an
image and use an image editing software to add the labels and the
values on each scale by hand. Of course, whenever I need to change the
model, I need to repeat the process! I'm willing to better invest that
time in learning how to use annotate (or any other tool) to do this,
but would like to confirm that this would be the best SAS tool for the
job.

Thank you in advance,

Daniel
