ODS Graphics

To produce ODS Graphics output you must specify the ODS GRAPHICS statement prior to the PROC MACONTROL statement. For more information about the ODS GRAPHICS statement, see Chapter 21, Statistical Graphics Using ODS (SAS/STAT 9.22 User's Guide).

The appearance of a graph produced with ODS Graphics is determined by the style associated with the ODS destination where the graph is produced. MACHART options used to control the appearance of traditional graphics are ignored for ODS Graphics output. Options for Producing Graphs Using ODS Styles lists options that can be used to control the appearance of graphs produced with ODS Graphics or with traditional graphics using ODS styles. Options for ODS Graphics lists options to be used exclusively with ODS Graphics. Detailed descriptions of these options are provided in Dictionary of Options

When ODS Graphics is in effect, the MACHART statement assigns a name to the graph it creates. You can use this name to reference the graph when using ODS. The name is listed in Table 9.13.

See Chapter 3, SAS/QC Graphics, for more information about ODS Graphics and other methods for producing charts.
