CIRCLEARC

Specifies whether SAS/GRAPH should use the device's hardware circle-drawing capability, if available.
Used by: GOPTIONS statement, GDEVICE procedure, GDEVICE Parameters window
Default: device-dependent
Restriction: not supported by Java or ActiveX

Syntax

GOPTIONS: CIRCLEARC | NOCIRCLEARC
GDEVICE: CIRCLEARC=Y | N

Parameter Values

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.
