COPULA Procedure

ODS Graph Names

Statistical procedures use ODS Graphics to create graphs as part of their output. ODS Graphics is described in detail in ChapterĀ 24, Statistical Graphics Using ODS (SAS/STAT User's Guide).

Before you create graphs, ODS Graphics must be enabled (for example, with the ODS GRAPHICS ON statement). For more information about enabling and disabling ODS Graphics, see the section "Enabling and Disabling ODS Graphics" in that chapter.

The overall appearance of graphs is controlled by ODS styles. Styles and other aspects of using ODS Graphics are discussed in the section "A Primer on ODS Statistical Graphics" in that chapter.

PROC COPULA assigns a name to each graph it creates by using ODS. You can use these names to refer to the graphs when you use ODS. The names are listed in Table 5.
