The GOPTIONS Procedure

PROC GOPTIONS Statement

Lists the graphics options, and their values and descriptions in the LOG window. Optionally, it lists the currently defined global statements. By default, each listed item is displayed on a separate line.


Syntax

PROC GOPTIONS <option(s)>;

option(s) can be one or more options from the following categories:

Options

You can specify as many options as you want and list them in any order.

AXIS
A
requests a list of all current AXIS definitions. AXIS also lists the current values for all graphics options, unless you use the NOLIST option. If you have not defined any AXIS statements, the GOPTIONS procedure issues a message.

CENTIMETERS
CM
displays the values of the HORIGIN=, HSIZE=, PAPERFEED=, PAPERLIMIT=, VORIGIN=, and VSIZE= graphics options in units of centimeters (CM). These graphics options use units of IN or CM only, and their values are always stored as inches even if you specify CM. Therefore, the GOPTIONS procedure displays these values in inches, unless you specify the CENTIMETERS option.

Note:   The CENTIMETERS option does not affect the graphics options that can use unit specifications of CELLS, CM, IN, PCT, and PT.  [cautionend]

FOOTNOTE
F
requests a list of all of the current FOOTNOTE and TITLE definitions. FOOTNOTE also lists the current values for all of the graphics options, unless you use the NOLIST option. If you have not defined any FOOTNOTE or TITLE statements, the GOPTIONS procedure issues a message.
Featured in: Displaying TITLE and FOOTNOTE Statements

LEGEND
L
requests a list of all of the current LEGEND definitions. LEGEND lists the current values for all of the graphics options, unless you use the NOLIST option. If you have not defined any LEGEND statements, the GOPTIONS procedure issues a message.

NOLIST
N
suppresses the display of graphics options. Use the NOLIST option in conjunction with the appropriate statement request option when you want to list only the current AXIS, FOOTNOTE, LEGEND, PATTERN, SYMBOL, or TITLE definitions.

NOLOG
displays the output in the OUTPUT window instead of the LOG window.

OPTION=graphics-option
requests information on the specified graphics option. For these options, requesting one displays the value of both:

PATTERN
P
requests a list of all of the current PATTERN definitions. PATTERN lists the current values for all of the graphics options, unless you use the NOLIST. If you have not defined any PATTERN statements, the GOPTIONS procedure issues a message.

SHORT
suppresses the descriptions of the graphics options and displays the graphics options values in an alphabetical list in paragraph form.
Featured in: Displaying Graphics Options without the Description

SYMBOL
S
requests a list of all of the current SYMBOL definitions. SYMBOL lists the current values for all of the graphics options, unless you use the NOLIST. If you have not defined any SYMBOL statements, the GOPTIONS procedure issues a message.

TITLE
T
requests a list of all of the current TITLE and FOOTNOTE definitions. TITLE lists the current values for all of the graphics options, unless you use the NOLIST option. If you have not defined any FOOTNOTE or TITLE statements, the GOPTIONS procedure issues messages.
