Book description

SAS 9.3 ODS Graphics: Getting Started with Business and Statistical Graphics provides an overview and quick-start examples of ODS Graphics functionality, which is an extension of the SAS Output Delivery System (ODS). Many SAS procedures use ODS Graphics functionality to produce graphs as automatically as they produce tables. In addition, SAS provides a full suite of ODS Graphics software that facilitates the creation of custom, stand-alone graphs. This software includes the Graph Template Language, ODS Graphics procedures, ODS Graphics Designer, and ODS Graphics Editor. This ebook also explains how the ODS Graphics software components complement each other, and how they can be used together.
