| Getting Started with the SAS System Using SAS/ASSIST Software |
The graphics device driver
software used in your SAS
session is assigned by default, based on the hardware and operating environment
on which you installed the SAS System. You may, however, need to assign a
different graphics device driver for your SAS/ASSIST sessions. You can use
the following procedure to assign a different graphics device driver. The
change you make with this procedure will be in effect for all graphics tasks
in all SAS/ASSIST sessions until you change it again. Before using this procedure,
ensure that you have SAS/GRAPH software licensed and installed.
Note: You do not need to select a graphics device driver
with low-resolution graphics. ![[cautionend]](../common/images/cautend.gif)

contact the SAS Support Consultant at your site.
- Select OK. The Pie Chart window

Note: Hardcopy is selected
in the same manner as Monitor and is used when
you want to send your graph to a hardcopy device such as a printer, plotter,
or camera, or to a file with a graphics format such as GIF, JPEG, or PostScript.
- When you are ready to return to the WorkPlace
menu or go on to another task, follow the directions in Exiting a Task.
