Mode-Specific Differences

The GANTT Procedure

Mode-Specific Differences

All the options that are valid for line-printer, full-screen, and graphics mode Gantt charts are explained in detail in the "Syntax" section. With few exceptions, the options listed in the section "General Options" have the same interpretation in all three modes.

Table 4.26 lists those line-printer options that have a different interpretation for the graphics version of PROC GANTT.

Table 4.26: Line-Printer Options and Corresponding Graphics Interpretation

Line-Printer Option	Graphics Mode Interpretation
SCALE=scale	one column is denoted by (1/h)% of the screen width where HPOS=h.
SKIP=skip	skip number of bar heights are skipped between the bars for two consecutive activities. The value 0 is not valid in the graphics case.

Table 4.27 lists options specific for graphics charts and the equivalent line-printer/full-screen option.

Table 4.27: Graphics Mode Options and Line-Printer/Full-Screen Equivalent

Graphics Option/Statement	Line-Printer/Full-Screen Equivalent
LHCON=linetype	HCONCHAR='character'
LREF=linetype	REFCHAR='character'
LTNOW=linetype	TNCHAR='character'
NOFRAME	FORMCHAR='string'
PATTERN statement	JOINCHAR='string' and SYMCHAR='string'
SYMBOL statement	first character of variable name is plotted (See CHART specifications)
VMILE=value	MILECHAR='character'
WTNOW=width	TNCHAR='character'

Table 4.28 lists options specific for line-printer and full-screen charts and the equivalent graphics option.

Table 4.28: Line-Printer/Full-Screen Mode Specific Options

REFCHAR='character'	LREF=linetype, CREF=color
