The GIMPORT procedure enables
you to import into SAS/GRAPH software
graphics output that is produced with other software applications, graphics
output that is produced by SAS/GRAPH
software, or graphics output that is produced on other machines. The GIMPORT
procedure takes as its input a computer graphics metafile (CGM) and produces
graphics output that can be displayed in your SAS/GRAPH
session and stored in a SAS catalog. This graphics output can be reviewed
and played like any other SAS/GRAPH
output using the GREPLAY procedure. The GIMPORT procedure may also write
any of the following information to the log:
- any elements used in the CGM that the procedure
cannot process
- color mapping information when a color in a CGM
is not available on the destination device
- a list of fonts that are used by the application
that produced the CGM.
Note: In addition to the GIMPORT
procedure, you can use commands in the File pull-down menu in the Image Editor,
Graph Editor, and Graph window to import other graphic formats such as GIF,
TIFF, and WMF. ![[cautionend]](../common/images/cautend.gif)
