Jle Ire going to explain you a way to elaborate a poster with the software SAS/CRAPH.
Following points will be explained
- our surrounding
- an introduction about graphics
- the realization of tbe poster
- the material used (hardware)
- and the conclusion
LET' S TALK ABOUT OUR SURROUNDINCS
Jle work near Paris at Vitry/Seine in a pharmaceutical human health researcb center.
One thousand snd three hundred scientists who are principally chemists
biologists, toxicologists Bud analysts make researches into many fields:
for instance immunology, snti-csncer,analgesic,prospective toxicology •••
These people also use computers for data management,graphics;statisticsl
snalysis, word processing and so OD •••
Noreover, we have a host computer whicb is an IBN 4381-13 snd other
mainframes like VAX 7SO, VAX 785, VAX 8200. On the bost computer, are
being softwares like SAS, SAS/GRAPH, SAS/AF, SAS/FSP, NONAD2 for data
base management system, CDDN for graphics, DARC for molecular management
system ,seversl languages as FOR'l'RAN, PL/l. As for as, personal computers
are concerned. lie Ire working on IBN PC ,HP VECTRA.

LET'S NOW TALK ABOUT OUR TOPIC
AN INTRODUCTION ABOUT GRAPHICS
Researchers have to explain their studies results and the better way
to do this is to use graphics and posters.
Before coming to your computer keyboard, you must take time to consider two factors : your audience and what you wish your presentation to
achieve.
So, first of all, you must
- Know your audience
now large is it?
- How much does it know about the subject?
The reasons why this audience needs such
information
- The effects of this information on the audience
- Set your objectives
- What is the essential message you want this particular chart to transmit?
- Choose the right chart
- Each chart and diagram provide a specific kind
of data comparaison
Toke care to interpret data rightly not to misdlead
your audience
- Use the four following design principles
- Simplicity
- Unity
- Emphasys
- Balance
- Clarify your message with words
- Make good use of colors
And of course don't overload your audience
-
Be direct
Keep it simple
Be clear
Be accurate

REALIZATION
A poster realization requires 8 stages :
- 1 - At first, the end-user realizes his poster on a paper-work, just
try to imagine its representation.
- 2 - Once he agrees, he cuts it into several graphics, thus making
easier the graphics drawing one by one.
- 3 - The third stage consists in converting these graphics into SAS
language (users who have taken SAS/BASE and SAS/GRAPH courses)
are able to write their own SAS program. We have to help them
in debugging and to get more efficiency programmation technics.
They work on a graphic color terminal for displaying at any
moment the program result.
- 4 - When all graphics are ready, they save all outputs in a graphics
catalog for further use and replay.
- 5 - Now, tbey must create the template catalog which contains the
poster framework.
- 6 - By displaying the poster on the terminal, users can imagine it
and they can check the proportions are being respected , and
the impact of words and sentences.
- 7 - After, users must choose the relevant driver for its plotter and
convert the graphics catalog into plotter language. An external
file is created. Then, we reach the last stage, regarding the
use of SAS.
- 8 - Then, they can print the poster. The content of the external
file created at the 7th, can be sent to the plotter. via RSCS
(on IBM) or a similar utility on an other computer.

CONCLUSION
Why have we developped this method in our research center and what
are the effects ?
Communications between people play an ever increasing role, especially
visual communication. The effects are numerous. A poster is one of the
best 'iay to communicate, because
- it's a way to have all data on one support
it's a nice attractive and easy to understand support owing to
graphics sh01vn.
- it enables to transmit a message at a large scale
- it doesn't need a tremendous preparating
and it's very easy to carry away

REAUSAlD
Aposter realisation requires 8stages:
- First attempt on paper-work.
- Cutting it in· several graphics.
- Converting these graphics into SAS language with
a terminal driver.
- Saving in agraphics catalog the output produced
by SAS programs for later replay.
- Creating the template catalog.
- Displaying the poster on the terminal.
- Converting the graphics catalog into plotter
language.
- Sending to the plotter.
