Statistical procedures use ODS Graphics to create graphs as part of their output. ODS Graphics is described in detail in ChapterĀ 21: Statistical Graphics Using ODS in SAS/STAT 14.1 User's Guide.
Before you create graphs, ODS Graphics must be enabled (for example, with the ODS GRAPHICS ON statement). For more information about enabling and disabling ODS Graphics, see the section "Enabling and Disabling ODS Graphics" in that chapter.
The overall appearance of graphs is controlled by ODS styles. Styles and other aspects of using ODS Graphics are discussed in the section "A Primer on ODS Statistical Graphics" in that chapter.
When ODS Graphics is enabled, the GAMPL procedure by default produces plots of the partial predictions for each spline term in the model. Use the PLOTS option in the PROC GAMPL statement to control aspects of these plots.
PROC GAMPL assigns a name to each graph that it creates by using ODS. You can use these names to refer to the graphs when using ODS. The names are listed in Table 7.14.
Table 7.14: Graphs Produced by PROC GAMPL
ODS Graph Name |
Plot Description |
PLOTS= Option |
---|---|---|
SmoothingComponentPanel |
Panel of multiple prediction curves |
Default |
SmoothingComponentPlot |
Unpacked prediction curves |
PLOTS(UNPACK) |
By default, prediction plots for each spline component are displayed in panels that contain at most six plots. If you specify more than six smoothing components, multiple panels are used. Use the PLOTS(UNPACK) option in the PROC GAMPL statement to display these plots individually.
