| SAS/GRAPH Software: Reference |
- The NAME= option accepts a long variable name. However, when
a variable name is longer than 8 characters, the resulting entry name is truncated
to 8 characters.
- The IMAGEMAP= option creates a data set that contains information
about a graph and about areas in the graph. This information includes the
shape and coordinates of the areas, and it is used to build an HTML file that
links the graph areas to other files or images.
The GCHART procedure includes the following new features:
- The HBAR3D, VBAR3D, and PIE3D statements generate
3-dimensional
horizontal bar charts, vertical bar charts, and pie charts.
- The WOUTLINE= option controls the thickness of the outlines of
chart elements (pie slices, bars, blocks, etc.).
- The HTML= and HTML_LEGEND= options use HTML functionality to create
graphics output with "drill-down" capability.
- The IMAGEMAP= option creates a data set that contains information
about a graph and about areas in the graph. This information includes the
shape and coordinates of the areas, and it is used to build an HTML file that
links the graph areas to other files or images.

New
in Version 8, the DESCRIPTION= option can include the #BYLINE, #BYVAL, and
#BYVAR substitution options, which work as they do when used on TITLE, FOOTNOTE,
and NOTE statements.
Additional enhancements enable you to
- format statistics and specify the label for statistic column heads
in the table of statistics that is displayed with horizontal bar charts
- display statistic values inside bars in vertical bar charts
- draw a frame
around the axis area by default. The V6COMP graphics
option enables you to request Version 6 behavior instead of the new defaults.
Changes in the default behavior of the PATTERN statement may affect
GCHART procedure output.
Changes in the default behavior of the PATTERN statement may affect
GCONTOUR procedure output.
You can specify a color map for a device using either
- the new GDEVICE window,
Colortable
- the CMAP= option in the ADD or MODIFY statement in the GDEVICE
procedure. CMAP= can also be specified in the GOPTIONS statement.
- The map data sets that are supplied by SAS Institute have more
consistent structure and variables.
- The HTML= and HTML_LEGEND= options use HTML functionality to create
graphics output with "drill-down" capability.
- The IMAGEMAP= option creates a data set that contains information
about a graph and about areas in the graph. This information includes the
shape and coordinates of the areas, and it is used to build an HTML file that
links the graph areas to other files or images.
- Changes in the default behavior of the PATTERN statement may
affect GMAP procedure output.
The OPTION= option requests information about the specified option only.
- The FRAME | NOFRAME option draws a frame around the axis area
by default. The V6COMP graphics option enables you to request Version 6 behavior
instead of the new defaults. (V6COMP also affects the default behavior of
the PATTERN statement.)
- The HTML= and HTML_LEGEND= options use HTML functionality to create
graphics output with "drill-down" capability.
- The IMAGEMAP= option creates a data set that contains information
about a graph and about areas in the graph. This information includes the
shape and coordinates of the areas, and it is used to build an HTML file that
links the graph areas to other files or images.
- Changes in the default behavior of the PATTERN statement may affect
GPLOT procedure output.
