Fundamental ODS Graphics
After instructor led tuition attendees will be able to:
- Produce high quality graphical outputs with the following SAS/GRAPH procedures:
- SGPLOT
- SGSCATTER
- SGPANEL
- SGRENDER
- Customise the appearance of graphical outputs by controlling properties like axes, reference lines, legends and text
- Use the ODS Graphics Designer to build templates and render graphics
- Use ODS styles elements and attribute maps to customise the appearance of graphics
- Understand how to store graphics in various ODS destinations and file formats
- Work with statements in the Graph Template Language to customise the layout of graphics
Target Audience
Existing users of SAS language who wish to present graphics to publication quality, using the latest release of SAS software.
Attendees should expect to program with new procedures and functionality introduced in SAS 9.2 and SAS 9.3.
