More on ODS Graphics
OK now, we'll bore you with the formal definition: ODS Graphics is an extension of ODS (the Output Delivery System). ODS manages procedure output and displays it in a variety of destinations, such as HTML and RTF. With ODS Graphics, statistical procedures produce integrated output that includes both graphs and tables. Procedures that support ODS Graphics create graphs, some by default and some when you specify procedure options.
