About the ODS Graphics Editor

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.
