SAS/GRAPH Software: Reference

Overview

This chapter provides a detailed description of all of the graphics options and device parameters used with SAS/GRAPH software. These include

all graphics options used by the GOPTIONS statement
all device parameters that can be specified as options in the ADD and MODIFY statements in the GDEVICE procedure
all device parameters that appear as fields in the GDEVICE windows.

The descriptions provide the syntax, defaults, and required information for each option and parameter.

The graphics options and device parameters are intermixed and listed alphabetically. When the graphics option and device parameter have the same name, they are discussed in the same dictionary entry and the description uses only that name and does not distinguish between the option and the parameter except where the distinction is necessary.

For a list of all the graphics options, see GOPTIONS Statement. For a list of all the device parameters, see ADD Statement.

If the syntax for the graphics option and the device parameter is different, both forms are shown. If the syntax is the same, one form is shown.

Use a GOPTIONS statement to specify the graphics options. Some graphics options can also be specified in an OPTIONS statement. Use the GDEVICE procedure to specify the device parameters. (See GOPTIONS Statement and The GDEVICE Procedure for details.)

Note: The syntax for device parameters is the syntax for specifying parameters when using the GDEVICE procedure statements. With the GDEVICE windows, simply enter values into fields in the windows. [cautionend]

Note: The values that you specify for any option or parameter must be valid for the device. If you specify a value that exceeds the device's capabilities, SAS/GRAPH software reverts to values that can be used with the device. [cautionend]
