Using the Graph Gallery

The ODS Graphics Designer provides a gallery of predefined, commonly used plots. The following display shows the default Graph Gallery:

You can choose one of these predefined graphs as the basis for your graph, and then customize your graph by adding titles, footnotes, legends, additional plots, and other items.
The Graph Gallery groups plots into categories. Each group is represented as a tab in the gallery. For example, the Grouped tab contains plots for data that has been grouped by a variable.
Here are the predefined groups:
