GDRAW Functions

GDRAW functions create graphics elements. Each GDRAW operator is associated with a set of GSET operators that control its attributes. For example, the color, height, and font for the GDRAW('TEXT', . . . ) function are controlled by GSET('TEXCOLOR', . . . ), GSET('TEXHEIGHT', . . . ), and GSET('TEXFONT', . . . ), respectively. For a complete list of the attributes associated with each GDRAW function, see DATA Step Graphics Interface Routines. The complete graph is displayed after the GRAPH('UPDATE', . . . ) function is submitted.

When using GDRAW functions, remember the following:

• All arguments must be specified.

• All arguments are specified as variables or constants. If you express an argument as a variable, the variable must be initialized.

• All character arguments that are expressed as character strings must be enclosed in quotes.

• All character variable names used as arguments must be declared in a LENGTH statement.

• All character constants must be enclosed in single or double quotes.
