Authors Abstract
Dan Heath SAS users have the ability to automatically produce graphics with their tabular output from SAS analytic procedures using the ODS Graphics system. Many of these procedures provide options for controlling the content and appearance of these graphics. In addition, the ODS system provides statements for controlling what output is displayed, as well as a means for controlling the order of that output. SAS Viya  and SAS Workbench users have had these same capabilities when running SAS programs, but not when running Python programs — until now. Python users can now have graphics generated automatically from models that have graphics support. In addition, models now contain a new method called customize_results() that gives you the ability to control aspects of the graphics output, as well as filter tabular results and control result output order — all without rerunning the model computations. Come see how this new functionality can improve the analysis process and help simplify the task of reporting your results.
