SAS ODS Output: Get Histogram (only!) in PDF

I'm running the following code to output a histogram of a certain variable:

    ods results off;
    ods listing close;
    ods pdf file="&folder/temp.pdf";
    title ;
    * Histogram of betCount;
    proc univariate data=want;
          var BetCount;
          histogram;
    *label sex=' ' height='Height (cm)';
    run;
    ods pdf close;
    ods listing;
    ods results on;

It does create a PDF, but there's lots of extra tables and output. I just want to see the histogram only, as I'm read into latex as part of a \minipage with six figures in it. I have done this manually before by taking a screenshot of the required region, pasting into Paint and coverting to PDF or PNG: I don't want to go down that road again! How can this be done in general for graphs and plots in SAS?

Thanks for any help at all.

You can name the graph and then use ODS SELECT to select (only) it. (ODS TRACE ON will help you see it in the log.)

ods trace on;
ods pdf file="c:\temp\myfile.pdf";
ods select histogr;
proc univariate data=sashelp.class;
var age;
histogram age/name="Histogr" ;
run;
ods pdf close;
