Optional Arguments

PROC GCHART statement options affect all graphs produced by the procedure.

ANNOTATE=Annotate-data-set

specifies a data set to annotate all graphs that are produced by the GCHART procedure. To annotate individual graphs, use the ANNOTATE= option in the action statement.

Alias:ANNO=

Note:Annotate coordinate systems 1, 2, 7, and 8 (data system coordinates) are not valid with block, pie, donut, or star charts.

See:Using Annotate Data Sets

DATA=input-data-set

specifies the SAS data set that contains the variable or variables to chart. By default, the procedure uses the most recently created SAS data set.

See:SAS Data Sets

Understanding Chart Variables

GOUT=<libref.>output-catalog

specifies the SAS catalog in which to save the graphics output that is produced by the GCHART 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.

Restriction:Not supported by Java or ActiveX

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

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.
