1. Basics of ODS layout

2. ODS layout application ◦ Page plan

◦ Page setting

◦ Layout region

◦ Text

◦ Graphics

◦ Table

◦ Image

◦ Border

1.1 What is ODS layout ?

Arrangement of text, tables and graphics on the same

page in a way you like.

Example report

1.2 ODS layout modes

Absolute Layout ◦ In this mode, you specify the exact position of each region within

the layout.

Gridded layout Gridded layout essentially acts like

a table with each "cell” containing

the output (usually) from a single procedure.

SAS code:

Columns=2 Colum_gutter= 0.5 in

Column_widths=4.5in

Rows=2 Row_gutter=0.3in Row_Heights=4in

1.3 SAS facility Involved ◦ ODS features

◦ In-line formatting

◦ Proc template

◦ Proc report

◦ Proc tabulate

◦ Proc gplot

◦ Proc sgplot

◦ Proc print

◦ Proc freq

◦ Proc gslide

◦ …….

1.4 Limitation

a. Limited destination

b. Repeat image inserting

c. Image size

d. Different orientation in multipage

2.1 Page plan ◦ 1. Report pages

◦ 2. Page setting

◦ 3. Layout (header, footnote, footer, text, pictures,

table…..)

◦ 4.Layout mode

2.2 Page setting (Layout container and margin)

1. ODS listing close; Option orientation=portrait papersize=letter topmargin=0.001in bottommargin=0.001in leftmargin=0.001in rightmargin=0.001in;

2. ODS layout start width=8.5in height=11in;

0 in 8.5 in

11 in

2.3 Report page Single page ODS pdf file=‘S: \liying\ACSC\mock_up.pdf’ style=sty1 ;

ODS layout start width=8.5in height=11in;

..insert code here...

ODS layout end;

ODS pdf close;

Multiple page ODS pdf file=‘S: \ liying\ACSC\mock_up.pdf’ style=sty1 ;

ODS layout start width=8.5in height=11in;

..insert code here...

ODS layout end;

ODS layout start width=8.5in height=11in;

..insert code here...

ODS layout end;

ODS pdf close;

2.4 Layout region The ODS LAYOUT and REGION statements allow many options

that provide control over placement of content.

Options that can be used on the ODS REGION statement include:

• X= – Relative to left side of LAYOUT space (absolute ).

• Y= – Relative to upper side of LAYOUT space (absolute ).

• WIDTH= – Width of the REGION (absolute, gridded).

• HEIGHT = – Height of the REGION (absolute, gridded).

• COLUMN= – Column where the REGION should be placed

(gridded only).

• ROW= – Row where the REGION should be placed (gridded

only).

2.4 Layout region (Con’t)

SAS code:

ODS REGION x=1in y=0.11in width=6.6in height=0.4in;

2.5 Text

ODS REGION x=1in y=0.25in width=6.6in height=0.4in;

ODS PDF text="^S={font_face=arial font_size=12pt font_weight=bold just=center}Rate of Congestive Heart Failure related hospitalizations per 100,000 population aged <75 for all Saskatchewan";

2.6 Graphics ODS region x=0.001in y=1in width=11.5in height=8.5in ;

ODS GRAPHICS/noborder;

ODS REGION x=0.001in y=1in width=11.5in height=8.5in;

proc sgplot data=grap.mock1;

yaxis label=" Rate per 100,000" grid values=(0 to 150 by 10);

xaxis display=(nolabel) discreteorder=data ;

series x=time y=SK_hosp

/markers markerattrs=(size=8 symbol=circlefilled color=CX13478C)

datalabel

lineattrs=(thickness=3 color=CX4D7EBF);

series x=time y=SK_incid /markers markerattrs=(size=8 symbol=circlefilled color=CXE0A860)

series x=time y=SK_pre /markers markerattrs=(size=8 symbol=circlefilled color=CX2A8307)

datalabel

lineattrs=(thickness=3 color=CX2A8307 pattern=solid);

Run;

2.7 Table

ODS region x=0.15in y=6.8in width=10in height=3in ;

Proc report data=Grap.mock3 nowd;

define time / "Time";

run;

2.8 Image

ODS REGION x=5.66in y=9.7in width=5in height=3in;

ODS PDF text="^S={preimage='/SAS_data/dw0/HQC_share/Lily/ACSC/picture/putting patients first11.jpg'}";

2.9 Border

ODS region x=0.02in y=0.65in width=2.8in height=2.19in ;

goptions reset=all;

proc gslide cframe=black wframe=2;
