The GIMPORT Procedure

Example 1: Creating and Importing a CGM

Procedure features:
GIMPORT statement options:
FILEREF=
FILETYPE=
FORMAT=
Other features:
FILENAME statement
GOPTIONS stratement
Sample library member: GR17N01

[IMAGE]

This example creates a CGM in binary format by directing SAS/GRAPH output to a graphics stream file (GSF) and using a CGM device driver. It uses the GIMPORT procedure to import the resulting CGM into SAS/GRAPH where it can be viewed and stored in a catalog. (See SAS/GRAPH Programs for additional information on catalog entries and graphics stream files.) The output shows the imported version of the graphic. Note that the output uses the default font because the specified fonts are unavailable. Adjusting the Graphics Output shows how to map these fonts to get the output that you want. Also see About Font Mapping for additional information.
 Note about code
filename gsasfile 'external-file';
goptions reset=global gunit=pct border cback=white
         colors=(black)
         gaccess=gsasfile gsfmode=replace
         noprompt device=cgmcrt
         hsize=5 in vsize=5 in;
 Note about code
title1 f=script h=7 'Title One is SCRIPT Font';
title2 f=centb h=5 'Title Two is CENTB Font';
title3 f=zapf h=5 'Title Three is ZAPF Font';
footnote h=3 f=swiss j=r 'GR17N01 ';
 Note about code
proc gslide;
run;
quit;
 Note about code
goptions reset=goptions border cback=white
         colors=(black);
 Note about code
proc gimport fileref=gsasfile
             filetype=cgm
             format=binary;
run;

Font List shows the font list that is displayed in the log file. The font list contains all of the fonts that are used by the CGM. The warning messages following the font list indicate which fonts can be remapped using the MAP statement.
