Syntax

GOPTIONS: SYMBOL | NOSYMBOL
GDEVICE: SYMBOL=Y | N

Parameter Values

SYMBOL
SYMBOL=Y
causes SAS/GRAPH to use the built-in symbol-drawing capability of the device, if available. A blank Symbol field in the Parameters window is the same as SYMBOL=Y.
Hardware drawing is faster, but not all devices have the capability. SAS/GRAPH does not try to use the capability if your device does not support it.
NOSYMBOL
SYMBOL=N
causes SAS/GRAPH to draw the symbols using SAS/GRAPH fonts.
