Details

The GINIT function performs three functions: it readies the library that contains SAS/GRAPH graphics routines, it opens a workstation, and it activates it. A workstation is a Graphics Kernel Standard (GKS) concept. GKS allows for multiple workstations to be open at the same time. However, for DSGI applications, you always use exactly one workstation. This function moves the operating state from GKCL to WSAC.
