Statistical Graphics Using ODS

http://support.sas.com/rnd/app/da/stat/odsgraph/

Graphics are an invaluable tool for data analysis, where one image can summarize pages of output. Graphics reveal patterns, point out differences, and provoke meaningful question about your data. SAS 9.1 now includes an experimental extension to the Output Delivery System (ODS) that provides high-quality graphics along with tabular output for many statistical procedures.

ODS Graphics gives you convenient access to commonly used graphics for a particular analysis. You no longer need to export your results to other graphical tools. With simple ODS commands and procedure options, you can generate the boxplots, scattergrams, and residual plots you need as well as several dozen other types of graphical displays. You can choose from several styles, or you can customize your graphics. You can direct the graphics to destinations such as HTML, RTF, and Postscript.
