The GIMPORT Procedure

Examples

The following examples illustrate major features of the GIMPORT procedure. For illustration purposes, these examples create a CGM using SAS/GRAPH software and import the resulting CGM by using the GIMPORT procedure. Ordinarily, you would use the GIMPORT procedure to import graphics output that is generated by another software package.

Note: Because this example uses a CGM device driver to produce a graphics stream file, you may need to respecify a device driver for your output device. In addition, these examples use the HSIZE= and VSIZE= graphics options to set a specific size for the graphics output area for the CGM so that the second example can illustrate the use of the SCALE and TRANSLATE statements. Depending on the output device that you are using, you may need to adjust the HSIZE= and VSIZE= values in this example and the values in the SCALE and TRANSLATE statements in the second example.
