Several of the graphics
options are also used as system options. These options include the
following:
-
| BINDING |
PAPERSIZE |
| COLLATE |
PAPERSOURCE |
| DUPLEX |
PAPERTYPE |
| PAPERDEST |
-
With the exception of
the DEVICE= option, the effect of setting these options depends on
whether they are set as graphics options or system options. For the
printer options, when they are set as graphics options in a GOPTIONS
statement, they affect the SAS/GRAPH devices. When they are set as
system options in an OPTIONS statement, they affect the Universal
Printers and the Universal Printer shortcut devices. (For information
about the Universal Printers, Universal Printer shortcut devices,
and the SAS/GRAPH devices, see Using Graphics Devices.) Setting a printer graphics option does not affect the
corresponding system option, and vice versa. For example, here is
a statement that sets the graphics option PAPERSIZE= to A4.
This statement does
not affect the PAPERSIZE= system option. As a result, it sets the
paper size to A4 for the
SAS/GRAPH printer devices only. If you want
to set the paper size for the Universal Printer devices or the Universal
Printer shortcut devices, you must set the PAPERSIZE= system option
instead of the graphics option as shown in the following example.
For information about
the GOPTIONS statement, see GOPTIONS Statement. For information about the OPTIONS statement, see SAS Statements: Reference.
In contrast to the printer
options listed previously, setting the DEVICE= option as a graphics
option has the same effect as setting it as a system option. That
is, setting DEVICE= as either a graphics option or a system option
sets the
SAS/GRAPH output device driver. As a result, the following
two statements have the same effect:
options device=pdf;
goptions device=pdf;
Note: Only one of the two statements
is needed to set the device. You can use either one.
