Using This Book


Conventions for Examples

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

options linesize=80 pagesize=200 nonumber nodate;

The HTMLBLUE style is used to create the HTML output and graphs that appear in the online documentation. A style template controls stylistic elements such as colors, fonts, and presentation attributes. The style template is specified in the ODS HTML statement as follows:

ods html style=htmlblue;

See ChapterĀ 21: Statistical Graphics Using ODS in SAS/STAT 13.2 User's Guide, for more information about styles.

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.

The following GOPTIONS statement is used to create traditional graphics output (see ChapterĀ 3: SAS/QC Graphics).

filename GSASFILE 'file-specification';
goptions gsfname = GSASFILE
         gsfmode = replace
         fileonly
         dev     = png
         htext   = 2.6pct
         htitle  = 3.5pct
         hsize   = 6.4in
         border
         horigin = 0in
         vorigin = 0in ;
