Syntax

GOPTIONS: DASH | NODASH
GDEVICE: DASH=Y | N

Parameter Values

DASH
DASH=Y
causes SAS/GRAPH to use the built-in hardware dashed-line drawing capability of the device when generating graphics output. A blank Dash field in the Parameters window is the same as DASH=Y.
hardware drawing is faster, but not all devices have the capability. SAS/GRAPH device drivers do not try to use the capability if the device does not have it.
NODASH
DASH=N
causes SAS/GRAPH to draw the dashed lines.
