Methods Used to Edit ODS Graphs

Edit an ODS Graph from the Results Window

Once you have enabled the creation of editable graphs in SAS, from the Results window, you can edit an ODS graph that you create from a SAS program.
To edit the graph:
  1. Make sure that you have enabled the creation of editable graphs in SAS.
  2. Click the expansion icon in the Results window to expand the list of graphs that you created.
  3. Right-click a graph image, and select Edit from the menu.
    The ODS Graphics Editor opens and displays the graph for editing. You can now edit the graph using the various interactive tools.
If there are multiple graphs in the SAS Results window that you want to edit, you must perform the above procedure for each graph.
When you edit a graph, the ODS Graphics Editor creates and opens a file with an .sge extension. The exact name depends on how the graph was created. The name appears in the title bar of the editor.

Open a Graph from the ODS Graphics Editor

You can edit an existing graph that you previously saved in ODS Graphics Editor.
To edit an existing graph:
  1. Open the ODS Graphics Editor in SAS. To do this, right-click a graph image in the SAS Results window, and select Edit.
  2. In the ODS Graphics Editor, select Filethen selectOpen from the main menu.
  3. Select a file from the file system and then select Open.
    The file that you open replaces the current graph. You can now edit and annotate the graph using the various interactive tools. If you selected a PNG file, then you can annotate the graph only. See Types of Files That Can Be Edited.
