Layout the Grid and you control the document: ODS meets OOP and you reap the benefits.
Daniel Ralyea, Karen N. Price · 2015
ODS is a journey not just a destination. You can exhibit a fine degree of control over your output once you understand the basic structures involved. Most of us are familiar with opening and closing an ODS destination (and it is good!) Exploring the construction of a destination allows a greater understanding of the power at your fingertips. ODS Layout provides a guiding structure for the information canvas. ODS Region provides control of a subset of the canvas and Object Oriented Programming allows cell by cell control of a custom built table. These tools, combined with the flexibility inherent in the output destination, allow a wide variety of production possibilities.
