The SGDESIGN procedure creates graphical output based
on a graph file (SGD) that has been created by using the SAS ODS Graphics
Designer application.
Here are the main features
of the SGDESIGN procedure:
-
By default, the procedure uses
the data set or data sets that are currently referenced by the SGD
file.
-
The procedure can generate any
graph type that can be created in the ODS Graphics Designer.
-
You can render the graph to any
ODS destination by using standard ODS syntax. When it renders the
graph, the procedure applies the style of the active destination rather
than the style that was used in the SGD file.
-
As with all the ODS Graphics procedures,
you can use the ODS GRAPHICS statement options to control many aspects
of your graphics.
-
If the SGD file has been defined
with dynamic variables, these variables can be initialized with the
DYNAMIC statement of the procedure. You can use dynamic variables
to generate the same graph with different data variables, a different
data set, and different text elements.
-
The procedure supports SAS statements
such as FORMAT, LABEL, BY, and WHERE. These statements can be applied
only if the DATA= option is used with the procedure.
