SAS/ASSIST Software Setup |
The graphics device driver software used in your SAS session is assigned by default, based on the hardware and operating environment on which you installed SAS. You may, however, need to assign a different graphics device driver for your SAS/ASSIST sessions. You can use the following procedure to assign a different graphics device driver. The change you make with this procedure will be in effect for all graphics tasks in all SAS/ASSIST sessions until you change it again. Before using this procedure, ensure that you have SAS/GRAPH software licensed and installed.
Note: You do not need to select a graphics device driver
with low-resolution graphics.
From the WorkPlace menu or any task window, follow
