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.
Before you create graphs, ODS Graphics must be enabled (for example, by specifying the ODS GRAPHICS ON statement). For more information about enabling and disabling ODS Graphics, see the section Enabling and Disabling ODS Graphics in Chapter 24, Statistical Graphics Using ODS.
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 Chapter 24, Statistical Graphics Using ODS.
PROC PSMATCH assigns a name to each graph it creates. You can use these names to refer to the graphs when you use ODS. To request the graph, ODS Graphics must be enabled and you must specify the ASSESS option. In addition, except for the standardized mean differences plot (which is the default), you must use the PLOTS= option in the ASSESS statement to specify the plots, as indicated in Table 10.
