The GOPTIONS procedure provides information about the
values of graphics options and the global statement definitions that
are currently in effect in your session. The values displayed are
either the defaults of the current device driver or user-defined values
that have been assigned in your SAS session. You can use the GOPTIONS
procedure to do the following tasks:
-
list the current values of all
of the graphics options or of one specified option
-
display the values of all of the
AXIS, FOOTNOTE, LEGEND, PATTERN, SYMBOL, and TITLE definitions that
are currently in effect
Note: Do not confuse the
GOPTIONS procedure with the GOPTIONS statement. The GOPTIONS procedure
lists the values that are defined in a GOPTIONS statement as well
as in any other global statement definitions. See GOPTIONS Statement for a list
of the graphics options that you can set with the GOPTIONS statement. See Graphics Options and Device Parameters Dictionary for a complete
description of each graphics option.
The list of graphics
options displays in the SAS Log window and
includes the names of the options, the current values, and a brief
description of each one. You can use PROC GOPTIONS statement options
to control what information is listed and where it appears in the Log window. Partial Output from the GOPTIONS Procedure contains part
of a sample Log listing.
Note: The information returned
by the GOPTIONS procedure does not reflect any style settings that
are in effect.
