Creating Text Slide and Presentation Graphics

Creating Slide Presentations

You can use SAS/GRAPH to create slide presentations of your graphs. With SAS/GRAPH, you can do the following:
  • create text slides with the GSLIDE procedure
  • combine several graphs into one output with the GREPLAY procedure
  • automatically or manually replay your graphs and text slides with the GREPLAY procedure.

Text Slides

Use the GSLIDE procedure to create text slides. You can specify a variety of colors, fonts, sizes, angles, overlays, and other modifications as well as drawing lines and boxes on the output.
See GSLIDE Procedure for a complete description.
Text slides display text as graphics output. Text slides can be used as title slides for presentations, or to produce certificates, signs, or other display text.

Combining Output into One Slide

Use the GREPLAY procedure to combine several graphs into a single output. You can create special effects by overlaying or rotating the graphs at any angle.
Templated graphs display two or more graphs or text slides as one output by replaying stored graphs into a template or framework. Like graphs and text slides, templated graphs can be ordered in groups and stored in catalogs for replay as part of a presentation.

In addition, you can use the GREPLAY procedure to create an automated or user-controlled presentation of graphics output. The GREPLAY procedure enables you to name, arrange, and customize the presentation of graphs that are stored in a catalog.
See GREPLAY Procedure for a complete description.
