Excerpt: ... Coders' Corner Paper 110-25 How to Customize Axes in PROC GPLOT Iza Peszek, Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NT This paper is intended for SAS users with at least intermediate experience using SAS/GRAPH. It presents some simple applications of SAS ANNOTATE facility to achieve customtailoring of the axes for the plot produced via PROC GPLOT. While PROC GPLOT does a pretty good job with auto-selection of tick marks on the axes, sometimes the built-in functionality fails. This happens when the plotted data points are irregularly spaced and you want your tick marks to correspond to data points in the graph. Another example is when PROC GPLOT is used with the ANNO option and the annotate data set has data points outside the natural data range used in PROC GPLOT. In such cases, the common solution is to determine the new range of axes and to specify the ORDER option in the AXIS statement. Sometimes, however, it is not easy to determine the optimal value of the BY step in the ORDER option. Left to SAS, the selecti ...

There are also two different units: on the upper edge are inches, on the lower edge centimeters. Use the lower scale. Figure 2 7. To read centimeters and millimeters, use the leftmost tick mark (as shown in figure 1). This gives an approximation because if you look closely, the leftmost tick mark will NOT be perfectly aligned with the fixed measuring scale. Note whether the tick mark is to the left or right of the millimeter mark you estimated on the fixed scale. This indicates whether your approximation is actually lower or higher than the true value. If the leftmost tick is to the left of your millimeter estimate, then the actual value is lower. If it lies right of your millimeter estimate, the actual value is higher. 8.

The probe enters the diagram at the bottom by the arrow, and its subsequent positions are shown at equal time intervals of t = 85 minutes. The tick marks along the left and bottom edges of the diagram are spaced by 70000 km. (a) Use the finite-difference vector construction method discussed in lecture to construct a (t) vectors for the probe's motion at points #1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 on the diagram. Be sure to construct your vectors carefully using a ruler, and show all the vectors you use in your constructions.

Excerpt: ... Experiment 8: Diffraction Grating Phys 431 A diffraction grating produces periodic alterations in the phase and/or amplitude of an emergent wave. In this lab, we will study three gratings: a steel ruler, and two multipleslit gratings. For the case of shining light through the multiple-slit system, it is clear how this can act like a diffraction grating: light emerging from the slits will have a periodic modulation in amplitude. In contrast, you may be surprised that a steel ruler can act as a diffraction grating. Of course, you can't shine light through the ruler. But in reflection mode, the tick marks on the ruler can modulate the emergent wave. By treating these spots as point sources, we can find the condition for constructive interference, as shown in the appendix. You are required to photograph the diffraction patterns for parts A and B (not C), and you may also need to make marks on the paper screen to achieve the best accuracy. As always, your write-up should contain reasonable estimates for the unc ...
