Differences between SAS/GRAPH and ODS
ODS seems to be much easier to use but seems also to have much more restricted in the possibilities. (For example, to create an ods graphic is almost as simple as executing
ods graphic on and then the desired
proc).
The goptions statement controls the appearance of SAS/GRAPH graphs but has not effect on ODS graphs.
With SAS/GRAPH, graphs are saved into graphic
catalogs.
ODS creates png, jpeg etc files that can easily be viewed in a browser or image program.
SAS/GRAPH
SAS/GRAPH is device based. Available devices can be found in the
SASHELP.DEVICES catalog:
proc sql;
select
objname format $8.,
/* objtype, Always 'DEV' ? */
substr(objdesc, 1, 60) format $60.
from
dictionary.catalogs
where
libname = 'SASHELP' and
memtype = 'CATALOG' and
memname = 'DEVICES'
order by
objname;
quit;
