SAS^® ODS Graphics Suite

description

ODS Graphics is an extension of the Output Delivery System (ODS), which manages procedure output and displays it in destinations such as HTML and RTF. With SAS ODS Graphics, statistical procedures produce integrated output that includes both graphs and tables. Procedures that support ODS Graphics create graphs, some by default and some when you specify procedure options.
