1. Chapter 8: ODS Graphics
ODS graphics were not available prior to SAS 9.2
They have been implemented across a wide range of procedures
Functionality isn’t consistent

2. Saving graphs
Graphs can be routed to different devices (default is LISTING)
For default output, graphs are available in the Results window as separate objects
The default graph type is .png; it can be modified to .jpg, etc
Some style choices are readily edited

3. Customizing saved graphs
ODS LISTING with the GPATH option can save graphs as single documents in a variety of formats.
ODS GRAPHICS uses IMAGENAME to personalize graph names
Format, size and resolution can also be specified.
Once GPATH is set, the number of graphs with similar names can proliferate. Wait till first chart to run ODS LISTING and ODS GRAPHICS code.

4. PROC SGPLOT Omnibus procedure to create ODS graphics We will review
Bar charts
Histograms and box plots
Scatterplots
Time series plots
Fitted curves

5. PROC SGPLOT-Bar Charts
Creates vertical or horizontal bar charts
Groups can be added
Bars can actually be summary statistics for continuous variables
PROC SGPLOT; VBAR varname/ GROUP=catname; RESPONSE=varname STAT=stattype; LABEL varname=‘varlabel;
Run SGPlotChart.sas

6. PROC SGPLOT-Histograms
SCALE subcommand graphs percents, counts, or proportions on the vertical axis
DENSITY overlays a normal curve (default) or kernel density estimate
PROC SGPLOT; HISTOGRAM varname; DENSITY varname; DENSITY varname/TYPE=kernel;
Default is PERCENT

7. PROC SGPLOT-Boxplots VBOX specifies graphing variables
CATEGORY generates side-by-side plots
PROC SGPLOT; VBOX varname/ CATEGORY=catvarname;
Run SGPlotHist.sas

8. PROC SGPLOT-Scatter Plots
Alternative to PROC GPLOT
Multiple SCATTER statements produce overlaid plots
LABEL improves the legend for overlaid plots
GROUP creates different plotting symbols
PROC SGPLOT; SCATTER X=hname Y=vname; GROUP=groupname; XAXIS LABEL=‘xlabel’ VALUES=(low TO high BY increment);
Run Anscombe data. Run SGPlotPlot.sas in parts.

9. PROC SGPLOT-Time Series Plots
Data points are connected by lines by default
The horizontal axis will be time, date, etc
LABEL command for dates follows naming conventions we have seen before
PROC SGPLOT; SERIES X=timeindex Y=vname; GROUP=groupname; XAXIS LABEL=‘xlabel’ VALUES=(‘ddmmmyy’d TO ‘ddmmmyy’d BY increment);
Run Broad River code.

10. PROC SGPLOT-Fitted Curves
A scatterplot is automatically generated for REG, LOESS, or PBSPLINE
CLM adds confidence bounds
NOMARKER suppresses the oft-redundnat printing of the scatter plot
PROC SGPLOT; REG X=hname Y=vname; LOESS X=hname Y=vname; PBSPLINE X=hname Y=vname;
Run R script and run rest of Anscombe. Read in Faithful.xlsx and run faithful code.

11. Controlling SGPLOT features
In addition to some of the features already discussed, we can reference lines (REFLINE), change the position of legends (KEYLEGEND), and add embedded text (INSET).
We can also customize graph feature attributes (MARKERATTRS, LINEATTRS, LABELATTRS, FILLATTRS, etc)

12. PROC SGPANEL
Panel graphs are an increasingly preferred alternative to traditional methods for multi-graph displays.
PROC SGPANEL ; PANELBY variable-list; SCATTER X=hname Y=vname; SERIES X=index Y=vname; Etc.
