Creates a text slide. Optionally, it
provides a border, specifies
annotation, and assigns an output catalog. This is the only statement in the
procedure.
option(s)
can be one or more options from any or all of the following categories:
-
appearance options:
|
ANNOTATE=Annotate-data-set |
|
BORDER |
|
CFRAME=frame-color |
|
FRAME |
|
LFRAME=line-type |
|
WFRAME=n |
-
description options:
|
DESCRIPTION='entry-description' |
|
GOUT=<libref.>output-catalog |
|
NAME='entry-name' |
-
HTML
option:
|
<IMAGEMAP=output-data-set> |
You can specify as many options as you want and list
them in
any order.
-
ANNOTATE=Annotate-data-set
ANNO=Annotate-data-set
- specifies a data set that includes Annotate
variables that identify graphics commands and parameters.
-
BORDER
- draws a border around the graphics output
area, which includes the title area, the footnote area, and the procedure
output area. A color specification for the border is searched for in the
following order:
- the CTITLE= option in a GOPTIONS statement
- the CTEXT= option in a GOPTIONS
statement
- the default, the first color in the colors list.
-
CFRAME=frame-color
-
draws a frame around
the procedure output area in the specified color. If you use both the CFRAME=
and FRAME options, FRAME is ignored.
Note: CFRAME= does
not color the background of the slide. ![[cautionend]](../common/images/cautend.gif)
-
DESCRIPTION='entry-description'
DES='entry-description'
- specifies the description of the catalog
entry for the chart. The maximum length for entry-description
is 40 characters. The description does not appear on the chart. By default,
the GSLIDE procedure assigns the description OUTPUT FROM PROC GSLIDE.
-
FRAME
- draws a frame around the procedure output
area. By default, the frame color is the first color in the colors list.
If you want to specify a different color for the frame, use the CFRAME= option
instead.
-
GOUT=<libref.>output-catalog
- specifies the SAS catalog in which to save
the graphics output produced by the GSLIDE procedure. If you omit the libref, SAS/GRAPH
looks for the catalog in the temporary library called WORK and creates the
catalog if it does not exist.
-
IMAGEMAP=output-data-set
- creates a SAS data set that contains information
about the graph and about areas in the graph. This information includes the
shape and coordinates of the areas, and is used to build an HTML file that
links the graph areas to other files or images. This linking provides drill-down
functionality on the graph. The Imagemap data set also contains the information
that is stored in the HTML variable in the Annotate data set. Therefore, in
order to use IMAGEMAP= to create an HTML file, you must also use the HTML
variable in the Annotate data set.
-
LFRAME=line-type
- specifies the line type for a frame and
draws a frame around the procedure output area. Values for line-type are 1 through 46. Line types are shown in
Line Types. By default, LFRAME=1, which produces
a solid line.
-
NAME='entry-name'
- specifies the name of the catalog entry
for the graph. The maximum length for entry-name is eight characters.
The default name is GSLIDE. If the specified name duplicates the name of an
existing entry, SAS/GRAPH software
adds a number to the duplicate name to create a unique entry, for example,
GSLIDE1.
-
WFRAME=n
- specifies the width of the frame where n is a number. The thickness of the frame increases directly with n, but the thickness of the line
may vary from device to device. By
default, WFRAME=1, which is the thinnest line. The WFRAME= option also draws
the frame.
Like the BORDER option in a GOPTIONS statement, the BORDER option
in the PROC GSLIDE statement draws a box around the graphics output area.
However, the border generated by the GSLIDE procedure remains in effect only
for the duration of the procedure.
Both BORDER options use the color specified by the CTITLE=
or CTEXT= graphics option if either of these options is used; otherwise, the
border color is the first color in the colors list.
While the BORDER
option draws a box around the graphics output area, the FRAME option draws
a box or frame around the procedure output area. In this case, titles and
footnotes are outside of the frame. (See Procedure Output and the Graphics Output Area for a description of the procedure
output area.) Use FRAME to draw a frame in the default color, line type, and
width. Otherwise, use one or more of the CFRAME=, LFRAME=, or WFRAME= options.
You can specify a colored frame with the CFRAME= option. Note
that CFRAME= does not fill the procedure output area with color. However,
you can use the CBACK= graphics option to provide a background color for the
graphics output area. You can specify the type of line for the frame with
the LFRAME= option and the width of the frame with the WFRAME= option.
If you use
the GSLIDE procedure with Annotate data sets that
contain data-dependent coordinates, the resulting coordinate values may exceed
the range of 0 to 100 used by the graphics output area, and some of the output
may not be displayed. In this case, use the GANNO procedure, which can scale
the output to fit the available space. See also The GANNO Procedure for details.
Although the GSLIDE procedure has no action statements, it can
use RUN-group processing to display all currently defined titles, footnotes,
and notes, as well as specified annotation, each time you submit a RUN statement.
TITLE and FOOTNOTE statements that are defined while the GSLIDE procedure
is active remain in effect after the procedure ends. NOTE definitions remain
in effect until the GSLIDE procedure ends, at which time they are canceled.
To cancel NOTE definitions while the procedure is active, specify RESET=NOTE
in a GOPTIONS statement or submit a null NOTE statement. See RUN-Group Processing for
details.
