ebook: ODS STATISTICAL GRAPHICS 101

describe how to use SAS ODS tool.
Beginning with SAS®9, a number of procedures join the Output Delivery System (ODS) family to create statistical graphics automatically. This new facility is referred to as ODS Statistical Graphics. The layout and appearance of ODS Statistical Graphics are controlled by ODS templates and styles. You can use the ODS Graphics Template Language (GTL) to generate statistical graphics of your own design; you can use PROC TEMPLATE to customize the statistical graphics generated by SAS procedures; you can use the “SG” family of procedures to create procedure-quality statistical plots. This paper describes how to use ODS Statistical Graphics to:
• create statistical graphs from SAS procedures;
• customize statistical graphs using ODS templates and ODS styles;
• create statistical graphs using ODS Graphics Template Language;
• create statistical graphs using SG procedures.
