If you prefer to create
custom graphs without having to know the details of GTL, you can use
the ODS Graphics Designer. The SAS ODS Graphics Designer is a graphical
application that enables you to design and create custom graphs interactively
using its point-and-click graphical user interface. The ODS Graphics
Designer is based on GTL, which is used by the SAS analytical procedures
and the SAS ODS Graphics procedures. However, you do not need to know
the details of GTL to create graphs using the ODS Graphics Designer.
Using the ODS Graphics
Designer, you can design sophisticated graphs using a wide array of
plot types. You can design multi-cell graphs, classification panels,
and scatter plot matrices. You can add titles, footnotes, legends,
and other graphics elements to your graphs. You can save your graphs
as image files for inclusion in other documents, or as ODS Graphics
Designer (SGD) files that you can edit later using the ODS Graphics
Editor.
