Statistical Graphics Using ODS

In this section, some of the most commonly used styles are compared in a series of figures, most of which were generated in the preceding section. Figure 21.22 through Figure 21.31 show tables and graphs in the HTML destination for each of eight styles, for the following analysis:

proc reg data=sashelp.class;
   model Weight = Height;
run; quit;

The PEARL, PEARLJ, RTF, SAPPHIRE, and six JOURNAL styles are compared by running the following steps for each of the ten styles and capturing output in the PDF destination:

options nonumber nodate;
ods proctitle off;

ods pdf body="fPearlJ.pdf" style=PearlJ startpage=never;
title "PearlJ";
proc means data=sashelp.class maxdec=2;
run;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
   vbar age / group=sex;
run;
ods pdf close;

The results of these steps are displayed in Figure 21.32 through Figure 21.41.
