Syntax

GOPTIONS: CIRCLEARC | NOCIRCLEARC

GDEVICE: CIRCLEARC=Y | N

CIRCLEARC CIRCLEARC=Y

causes SAS/GRAPH to use the built-in hardware circle- and arc-drawing capability of the device. A blank Circlearc field in the Parameters window is the same as CIRCLEARC=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.

NOCIRCLEARC CIRCLEARC=N

causes SAS/GRAPH to use software move and draw commands to draw circles and arcs.
