ODS Statistical Graphics
A number of SAS/STAT procedures support an extension to the Output Delivery System (ODS) to create statistical graphics as automatically as tables. This facility, referred to as ODS Statistical Graphics (or ODS Graphics for short), is preproduction in SAS 9.1. In SAS 9.2, ODS Graphics is production, and over 50 procedures in SAS/STAT, SAS/ETS, SAS/QC, and Base SAS have been modified to use it.
With ODS Graphics, a procedure creates the graphs that are most commonly needed for a particular analysis. Using ODS Graphics eliminates the need to save numerical results in an output data set, manipulate them with a DATA step program, and display them with a graphics procedure.
The documents on this page are for the preproduction SAS 9.1.3 features. For production SAS 9.2 usage and reference documentation, see the SAS online documentation for your product.
