CELL



Controls whether to use cell alignment.

Used in: GOPTIONS statement; GDEVICE procedure; GDEVICE Parameters window
Default: device dependent


Syntax

Syntax

GOPTIONS: CELL | NOCELL
GDEVICE: CELL=Y | N

CELL
CELL=Y
causes the device to use cell alignment, in which case SAS/GRAPH attempts to place hardware (or simulated hardware) characters inside character cells. This restriction on the location of characters means that in some cases the SAS/GRAPH procedure may generate axes that do not occupy the entire procedure output area or may be unable to create the requested graph. A blank Cell field in the Parameters window is the same as CELL=Y.

NOCELL
CELL=N
suppresses cell alignment, causing the procedure to use the entire procedure output area and place axis and tick mark labels without regard to cell alignment.


Details

Specify N in the device entry or use NOCELL in a GOPTIONS statement if you want to preview a graph on a cell-aligned display but intend to produce the final graph on a device that is not cell-aligned, such as a pen plotter.
