Outputting a graph from PROC FREQ

BlueNose — Sun, 20 Sep 2015 11:30:15 GMT

Hello,

At the end of my SAS programm, I have an ODS section where I send tables to an rtf file (all together). I use PROC TABULATE and PROC REPORT. If I need a part of an output (from a model for example), I save it as a dataset and then use TABULATE or REPORT to send it to the same rtf with the rest of the output. If I want a plot, easy, inside the ODS section I use SGPLOT or another procedure.

Now I want a MOSAIC plot. I couldn't find an easy way of plotting one besides using PROC FREQ. The question is, how do I output the plot and only the plot, to an rtf file ? In other words, can I tell SAS not to print anything from the PROC FREQ apart from the MOSAIC plot ?

Thank you !

ods graphics on;
ods select MosaicPlot;
proc freq data=sashelp.class ;
table sex*age/plot(only)=mosaic;
run;

Thank you. Since I am outputting it, is it possible to delete the automatic title of the plot ? I will add my own using title2 ''....

Well, I am not expert of ODS Graphic. But you could try this :


ods select MosaicPlot;

title1 'ssssssss';
title2 'xxxxxxxxx';
ods text=' ' ;
proc freq data=sashelp.class ;
table sex*age/plot(only)=mosaic;
run;

Thank you ! I tried it and it didn't delete the title from the plot. When I say title, I don't mean the title of the output, I mean the actual title of the plot, inside the white square of the plot. I am not sure it's even possible.

Check the NOGTITLE option on the ODS RTF statement.

Use the %MODTMPLT macro, which is described in the SAS/STAT documentation:

title;    /* clear the title */
%modtmplt(options=replace, template=Base.Freq.Graphics.MosaicPlot, steps=t)
proc freq data=sashelp.class;
tables sex*age / plots(only)=MosaicPlot;
run;
