Proc SGPLOT

This procedure is used to create statistical graphics such as histograms and regression plots, in addition to simple graphics such as scatter plots and line plots. Statements and options enable you to control the appearance of your graph and add additional features such as legends and reference lines. You can have two graphs in the same chart, for example having a scatter plot with the confidence limit ellipse plot on the same chart would be something nice to look at. in the code below, area, year, and weather are categorical variables, and aadt and count are continuous variables.
