The associated statements:

     PLOT    yvar * xvar = zvar / options;
     SCATTER yvar * xvar = zvar / options;
     BY variables;

e.g.,

PROC G3D DATA=THEDATA GOUT=THECAT;
   PLOT  y * x = z / GRID SIDE
                     CTOP=BLUE CBOTTOM=YELLOW 
                     CTEXT=BLACK CAXIS=RED;
   SCAT y2 * x = z / SIZE=.3 SHAPE=BALLOON COLOR='GREEN';

PLOT statement options

CTEXT = color

Specifies the color used to print text in the plot (default is the first color define in the GOPTION COLORS=...)

CAXIS = color

Specifies the color used to draw the axis of the plot (default is the 2nd color defined in the GOPTION COLORS=...)

CTOP = color

Specifies the color used to draw the top surface of the 3D plot (default is the 3rd color defined in the GOPTION COLORS=...)

CBOTTOM = color

Specifies the color used to draw the bottom surface of the 3D plot (default is the 3rd color defined in GOPTION COLORS=...) tilt the picture about the y axis (default = 70 deg.)

TILT = angle

TILT = ang1 ang2 ...

TILT = angle1 TO angle2 BY increment

Produces a series of plots, tilting the picture ang1, ang2 ... degrees, or from angle1 to angle2 in steps of increment.

ROTATE = angle

Rotates the picture about the z axis (default = 70 deg.)

ROTATE = ang1 ang2 ...

ROTATE =angle1 TO angle2 BY increment

Produces a series of plots, rotating the picture about the z axis ang1, ang2 ... degrees, or from angle1 to angle2 in steps of increment.

XYTYPE = 1, 2 or 3

Specifies the pattern used to draw the plot:

1:

lines parallel to the x axis are drawn

2:

lines parallel to the y axis are drawn

3:

both sets of lines are drawn (default)

XTICKNUM = number

number of tickmarks to placed on the axes. Similarly for YTICKNUM =number and ZTICKNUM = number. The default is 4.

ZMIN = number

Specifies the minimum value of the Z variable

ZMAX = number

Specifies the maximum value of the Z variable

GRID

Draws grid lines at each tick mark on all axes

SIDE

Produces a side wall for a surface graph

NOAXES

Requests that axes and axis labels not be printed

NOLABEL

Requests that ticks labels and axis labels not be printed

ANNOTATE = SASdataset

Specifies input data for graphic annotation

DESCRIPTION = 'string'

String (up to 40 char.) for GREPLAY description field

NAME = 'string'

String (up to 8 char.) for GREPLAY name field in master menu

SCATTER statement options

SHAPE = shape

Specifies which shapes to use in the scatter graph. The valid shapevar are: CUBE, CYLINDER, PILLAR, BALLOON, STAR, PRISM, HEART, CLUB, DIAMOND, SPADE, CROSS, FLAG, SQUARE, POINT and PYRAMID (default)

SIZE = value

Specifies the size of the shapes drawn (default value=1.0)

COLOR = colorvariable

Specifies the color of the shapes drawn

NONEEDLE

Specifies that the string connecting the shape to the xy plane not be drawn.
