- APPEND
- creates files to store rendered versions
of Bitstream fonts if the files do not already exist, reads previously rendered
characters from the font files, and appends rendered versions of new characters
to the font files when the SAS/GRAPH procedure
terminates.
- DISK
- creates files to store rendered versions
of Bitstream fonts if the files do not already exist, reads previously rendered
characters from the font files, and appends rendered versions of new characters
to the font files as they are encountered. This method is slower on some hosts,
but it may work in memory-constrained conditions where the other rendering
methods fail.
- MEMORY
- renders all fonts in memory without creating
any font files on disk. Font files are not used even if they already exist.
New characters are not written to existing font files when SAS/GRAPH procedures
terminate.
This is the default and should be the fastest method
on hosts that support virtual memory.
- NONE
- disables the font rendering features.
- READ
- reads existing rendered font files but does
not create new font files or write new characters to existing font files.
This is useful only when font files already exist in the rendered font library.
The memory capacity and input/output characteristics
of your host system determine which value for the RENDER= option provides
the best performance.
