ODS Graphics

Statistical procedures use ODS Graphics to create graphs as part of their output. ODS Graphics is described in detail in Chapter 21, Statistical Graphics Using ODS.

Before you create graphs, ODS Graphics must be enabled (for example, with the ODS GRAPHICS ON statement). For more information about enabling and disabling ODS Graphics, see the section Enabling and Disabling ODS Graphics in Chapter 21, Statistical Graphics Using ODS.

The overall appearance of graphs is controlled by ODS styles. Styles and other aspects of using ODS Graphics are discussed in the section A Primer on ODS Statistical Graphics in Chapter 21, Statistical Graphics Using ODS.

When ODS Graphics is enabled, you can request specific plots with the PLOTS= option in the PROC NPAR1WAY statement. If you do not specify the PLOTS= option but have enabled ODS Graphics, PROC NPAR1WAY produces all plots that are associated with the analyses that you request.

PROC NPAR1WAY assigns a name to each graph that it creates with ODS Graphics. You can use these names to refer to the graphs. Table 64.7 lists the names of the graphs that PROC NPAR1WAY generates together with their descriptions and the options that are required to produce the graphs.
