-
CHARACTERS
CHARACTERS=Y
-
causes SAS/GRAPH to
use the device-resident font when you do not specify a font in a SAS program.
A blank Characters
field in the Parameters window is the
same as CHARACTERS=Y.
-
NOCHARACTERS
CHARACTERS=N
-
causes SAS/GRAPH to
draw the characters using the SIMULATE font and suppresses the use of all device--resident fonts, regardless of values you specify in
other SAS statements.
The device--resident font is not
used if you changed the HPOS= and VPOS= graphics options from the default,
or if you used the HEIGHT= option in a SAS statement and the
device does not have scalable characters.
