Temporarily Enable Creation of Editable Graphs by Using a SAS Command

Alternatively, you can enable the creation of editable graphs for the duration of your SAS session by first selecting the Results window and then entering sgedit on on the command line. SAS confirms that the creation of editable graphs is enabled by displaying a message in the bottom left corner of the SAS window. The command must be entered from the Results window. If you enter it from any other window, it is ignored.

Permanently Enable Creation of Editable Graphs across SAS Sessions

You can create a default setting that enables or disables the creation of editable graphs across SAS sessions via the 'ODS Graphics Editor' setting in the SAS Registry. You can change this setting in the SAS windowing environment as follows:

1. Open the Registry Editor by entering regedit on the command line.

2. Select SAS_REGISTRY ODS GUI RESULTS.

3. In the Value Data field, click ODS Graphics Editor to open the Edit String Value window, and type On to enable the creation of editable graphs or type Off to disable it.

4. Click OK.
