The GPRINT Procedure

Example 1: Specifying Color Text

Procedure features:

GPRINT procedure options:

CTEXT=

Other features:

GOPTIONS statement

TIMEPLOT procedure

Sample library member:

GR22N01

This example creates the REFLIB.DOWHLC data set and generates a graph with color text from output that is produced by the TIMEPLOT procedure. The TIMEPLOT procedure is not a graphics procedure and produces text output only. (See SAS Procedures Guide for details on the TIMEPLOT procedure.)

The first part of this example uses the TIMEPLOT procedure with the newly created REFLIB.DOWHLC data set as input to produce SAS Output from the TIMEPLOT Procedure:

The second part of this example takes the output generated by the TIMEPLOT procedure and converts it to a graph by using the GPRINT procedure. GPRINT Procedure Output with Enhanced Text (GR22N01) shows the graph with color text, a title, and a footnote:
