Syntax

Syntax

GOPTIONS: DASH | NODASH

GDEVICE: DASH=Y | N

DASH DASH=Y

causes SAS/GRAPH to use the built-in hardware dashed-line drawing capability of the device when generating graphics output. A blank Dash field in the Parameters window is the same as DASH=Y.

Hardware drawing is faster, but not all devices have the capability. SAS/GRAPH device drivers do not try to use the capability if the device does not have it.

NODASH DASH=N

causes SAS/GRAPH to draw the dashed lines.
