If you want to make
immediate changes to a particular graph, such as change the title
or add a text inset or an image, you can use the ODS Graphics Editor.
The editor is an interactive graphical application used to edit and
annotate graphs that are created by any SAS procedure that supports
ODS Graphics. The graphic must be an ODS Graphics Editor file (SGE),
which is created in SAS by using the SGE = ON option in the ODS destination
statement.
You can customize titles,
footnotes, and labels. You can annotate data points, add text, and
change graph element properties such as fonts, colors, markers, and
line styles. After you have modified your graph, you can save it in
one of several formats or as an SGE file that you can later reopen
and edit.
You can also use the
SGRENDER procedure (in the ODS Graphics procedures) to produce graphical
output from the SGE file. The procedure enables you to run one or
more graphs in batch mode and render the graphs to any ODS destination
using any of the supported ODS options.
You can launch the editor
from a SAS session. You can also download a stand-alone version of
the ODS Graphics Editor that runs independently of SAS. When you
edit a graph from the
Results window in SAS,
changes that you make do not affect the original graph in the
Results Viewer window.
