MARK

Operating States:	SGOP
Return Codes:	0, 4, 65, 86, 100, 301

Syntax

return-code-variable=GDRAW ('MARK', n, x-values, y-values);

Description

The GDRAW('MARK', . . . ) function draws a series of symbols. The marker attributes and bundles affect the appearance of this primitive. See DATA Step Graphics Interface Routines for a list of these attributes. Refer to the GSET('MARTYPE', . . . ) function for a list of symbols that you can draw with GDRAW('MARK', . . . ).

Note:    All of the x coordinates are listed in the function first, followed by the y coordinates. This primitive takes the first n values and stores them as x coordinates and the next n values and stores them as y coordinates.  

Argument Definitions

n	numeric constant or numeric variable name; the number of times the symbol is drawn. You can specify a missing value (.) for n. If n is missing, the number of vertices is calculated from the number of x and y pairs.
x-values	list of numeric constants, variables, or OF arguments that describe the x coordinates of the symbols in units based on the current window system.
y-values	list of numeric constants, variables, or OF arguments that describe the y coordinates of the symbols in units based on the current window system.
