The ESM Procedure
ODS Graphics
Statistical procedures use ODS Graphics to create graphs as part of their output. ODS Graphics is described in detail in Chapter 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.
This section describes the use of ODS for creating graphics with the ESM procedure. To request these graphs you must specify the PLOT= option in the PROC ESM statement.
ODS Graph Names
PROC ESM assigns a name to each graph it creates using ODS. You can use these names to reference the graphs when using ODS. The names are listed in Table 4.
