Output of Examples

For each example, the procedure output is numbered consecutively starting with 1, and each output is given a title. Each page of output produced by a procedure is enclosed in a box.

Most of the output shown in this book is produced with the following SAS System options:

   options linesize=80 pagesize=200 nonumber nodate;

The template STATDOC.TPL is used to create the HTML output that appears in the online (CD) version. A style template controls stylistic HTML elements such as colors, fonts, and presentation attributes. The style template is specified in the ODS HTML statement as follows:

   ODS HTML style=statdoc;

If you run the examples, you might get slightly different output. This is a function of the SAS System options used and the precision used by your computer for floating-point calculations.

Graphics Options

The examples that contain graphical output are created with a specific set of options and symbol statements. The statements you see in the examples creates the color graphics that appear in the online (CD) version of this book. A slightly different set of options and statements is used to create the black-and-white graphics that appear in the printed version of the book.

If you run the examples, you might get slightly different results. This may occur because not all graphic options for color devices translate directly to black-and-white output formats. For complete information about SAS/GRAPH software and graphics options, see SAS/GRAPH Software: Reference.

The following GOPTIONS statement is used to create the online (color) version of the graphic output.

   filename GSASFILE ’<file-specification>’;

   goptions reset=all
            gaccess=GSASFILE    gsfmode=replace
            fileonly
            transparency        dev = gif
            ftext = swiss       lfactor = 1
            htext = 4.0pct      htitle = 4.5pct
            hsize = 5.5in       vsize = 3.5in
            noborder            cback = white
            horigin = 0in       vorigin = 0in ;

The following GOPTIONS statement is used to create the black-and-white version of the graphic output, which appears in the printed version of the manual.

   filename GSASFILE ’<file-specification>’;

   goptions reset=all
            gaccess=GSASFILE    gsfmode=replace
            fileonly
            dev = pslepsf
            ftext = swiss       lfactor = 1
            htext = 3.0pct      htitle = 3.5pct
            hsize = 5.5in       vsize = 3.5in
            border              cback = white
            horigin = 0in       vorigin = 0in;

In most of the online examples, the plot symbols are specified as follows:

   symbol1 value=dot color=white height=3.5pct;

The SYMBOLn statements used in online examples order the symbol colors as follows: white, yellow, cyan, green, orange, blue, and black.

In the examples that appear in the printed manual, symbol statements specify COLOR=BLACK and order the plot symbols as follows: dot, square, triangle, circle, plus, x, diamond, and star.
