ODS Statistical Graphics
ODS Statistical Graphics (also known as ODS Graphics) is functionality for easily creating statistical graphics. It is available in a number of SAS products, including SAS/STAT, SAS/ETS, SAS/QC, and
SAS/GRAPH software. With it, over 100 statistical procedures can produce graphs as automatically as they do tables. ODS Graphics is an extension of ODS (the Output Delivery System), which manages
procedure output and lets you display it in a variety of destinations, such as HTML and RTF. Consequently, many familiar features of ODS for tabular output apply equally to graphs. For statistical
procedures that support ODS Graphics, you enable this functionality with the statement ODS GRAPHICS ON. Graphs and tables created by these procedures are then integrated in your ODS output destination.

Statistical Graphics Using ODS
Presents the fundamental information you need to get started with ODS Statistical Graphics.
Basic ODS Graphics Examples
Provides a gentle and parallel introduction to the graph template language and the SG procedures SGPLOT, SGPANEL, and SGSCATTER.
Advanced ODS Graphics Examples
Introduces graphs with multiple axes, axis tables, SG annotation, and shows how to annotate graphs that analytical procedures produce.
Summary of ODS Graphics Capabilities
Provides a concise overview of the capabilities of ODS Graphics.
ODS Graphics Tip Sheet
Presents the most common procedures, statements, and options used in creating graphs with ODS Graphics.
Statistical Graphics procedures use this functionality to produce plots for exploratory data analysis and for customized statistical displays. Additional functionality enables you to edit graphs
produced on the fly with the ODS Graphics Editor, a point-and-click interface with which you can customize titles, annotate points, and make other changes.

SAS 9.4 ODS Graphics: Procedures Guide, Fifth Edition
Introduces a family of new procedures that are designed to create stand-alone displays that complement the more specialized graphs produced by the statistical procedures.
ODS Graphics produces graphs in standard image file formats, and the consistent appearance and individual layout of
these graphs are controlled by ODS styles and templates, respectively. Since the default templates for procedure graphs are provided by SAS software,
you do not need to know the details of templates to create statistical graphics. However, with some understanding of the underlying Graph Template Language, you can
modify the default templates to make changes to graphs that are permanently in effect each time you run the procedure.

Highly Customized Graphs Using ODS Graphics
Kuhfeld, Warren F.; SAS Institute 2016
SG annotation can be used to modify graphs that analytical procedures produce. Then PROC SGRENDER can be used along with the ODS output data set, the captured or modified dynamic variables,
the modified templates, and SG annotation to create highly customized graphs. This paper shows you how and provides examples.
