Optional Arguments

You can specify as many options as you want and list them in any order.

ANNOTATE=Annotate-data-set

specifies a data set that includes Annotate variables that identify graphics commands and parameters.

Alias:ANNO=Annotate-data-set

See:Using Annotate Data Sets

Example:Displaying Annotate Graphics

BORDER

draws a border around the graphics output area, which includes the title area, the footnote area, and the procedure output area. A color specification for the border is searched for in the following order:

1. the CTITLE= option in a GOPTIONS statement.
2. the CTEXT= option in a GOPTIONS statement.
3. the color of the current style. If the NOGSTYLE option is specified, then the color is the first color in the device's color list

See:Adding Frames, Borders, and Images

CFRAME=frame-color

draws a frame around the procedure output area in the specified color. If you use both the CFRAME= and FRAME options, the FRAME option is ignored. If you use the IFRAME= option, the specified image fills the background of the slide.

Note:The CFRAME= option does not color the background of the slide.

See:Adding Frames, Borders, and Images

Example:Producing Text Slides

DESCRIPTION='description'

specifies a description of the output. The maximum length for description is 256 characters. The description does not appear in the output. The descriptive text is shown in each of the following:

• the chart description for Web output (depending on the device driver you are using). See Chart Descriptions for Web Presentations for more information.
• the Table of Contents that is generated when you use CONTENTS= on an ODS HTML statement, assuming the output is generated while the contents page is open.
• the description and the properties for the output in the Results window.
• the description and properties for the catalog entry in the Explorer.
• the Description field of the PROC GREPLAY window.

Alias:DES=

Default:Graphics text slide

FRAME

draws a frame around the procedure output area. By default, the frame color is the color of the current style; if the NOGSTYLE option is specified, then the color is the first color in the device's color list. If you want to specify a different color for the frame, use the CFRAME= option instead. The FRAME option is overridden by the IFRAME= option, which fills the backplane frame with an image.

See:Adding Frames, Borders, and Images

GOUT=<libref.>output-catalog

specifies the SAS catalog in which to save the graphics output produced by the GSLIDE procedure. If you omit the libref, SAS/GRAPH looks for the catalog in the temporary library called WORK and creates the catalog if it does not exist.

See:Specifying the Catalog Name and Entry Name for Your GRSEGs

IFRAME=fileref | 'external-file'

specifies the image file that you want to apply to the procedure output area. See also the IMAGESTYLE= option. The IFRAME= option is overridden by the NOIMAGEPRINT goption.

IMAGEMAP= output-data-set

creates a temporary SAS data set that is used to generate an image map in an SVG file when you are sending output to the LISTING destination. (This option is not necessary when you are sending output to the HTML destination.) The drill-down URLs in the image map must be provided by variables in the input data set. These variables are identified to the procedure with the HTML= and HTML_LEGEND= options.

See:Adding Links and Enhancements with the URL=, HTML=, and HTML_LEGEND= Options and Enhancing Drill-Down Behavior in SVG Presentations Using HTML Attributes

IMAGESTYLE=TILE | FIT

specifies whether to tile the image specified with the IFRAME= option to fill the backplane or to stretch the image to fit the backplane. The TILE value is the default. See also the IFRAME= option.

LFRAME=line-type

specifies the line type for a frame and draws a frame around the procedure output area. Values for line-type are 1 through 46. Line types are shown in Line Types. By default, the line type is specified by the current style. LFRAME=1, which produces a solid line, is the default.

NAME='entry-name'

specifies the name of the GRSEG catalog entry and the name of the graphics output file, if one is created. The name can be up to 256 characters long, but the GRSEG name is truncated to eight characters. Uppercase characters are converted to lowercase, and periods are converted to underscores. The default GRSEG name is GSLIDE. If the name duplicates an existing name, then SAS/GRAPH adds a number to the name to create a unique name–for example, GSLIDE1. If the name specified is exactly eight characters long, the last character of the image output file is replaced with a number–for example, myimages is changed to myimage1.

See:About Filename Indexing

WFRAME=n

specifies the width of the frame where n is a number. The thickness of the frame increases directly with n, but the thickness of the line can vary from device to device. By default, the line width is specified by the current style. WFRAME=1, which is the thinnest line, is the default. The WFRAME= option also draws the frame.
