Syntax

Syntax

GOPTIONS: SYMBOL | NOSYMBOL

GDEVICE: SYMBOL=Y | N

SYMBOL SYMBOL=Y

causes SAS/GRAPH to use the built-in symbol-drawing capability of the device, if available. A blank Symbol field in the Parameters window is the same as SYMBOL=Y.

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

NOSYMBOL SYMBOL=N

causes SAS/GRAPH to draw the symbols using software fonts.
