Compatibility Document for the SAS/GRAPH Java Device Driver - Version 8 Releases

**This document applies to Version 8 Releases. If you are running SAS/GRAPH 9 or above, please refer to the documentation or online help for the most recent information.

Beginning in Version 8 of SAS/GRAPH, you can produce interactive Java graphs for Web publishing. This is accomplished by specifying DEVICE=JAVA on a GOPTIONS statement in conjunction with the Output Delivery System (ODS). The SAS/GRAPH Java device driver generates an HTML file that references a JAVA applet when specified for one of the following procedures: GCHART, GCONTOUR, GMAP, GPLOT and G3D. The HTML file that is created is viewable on any Java-enabled Web browser and if you are running SAS on your PC you can also view the graphics output in the Results window. For additional information regarding ODS, please refer to the Version 8 online documentation. For information regarding the versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer that are supported, see the section Browser Information below.

The SAS/GRAPH Java device driver allows you to render graphs on a client computer that is running a Java-enabled browser. Once the graph has been displayed in the browser, the user can customize the graph without re-running the SAS/GRAPH program that generated it. These customizations include the graph type, colors and axes. Future releases of the applets will allow you to save these changes back to your SAS/GRAPH code so that the modified version of the graphs will be regenerated any time the original data are updated.

The HTML file that is created references various Java applets installed by Version 8 of the SAS System. Which applet is used will depend on the SAS/GRAPH procedure that generated the output. The Java Contour Applet, ctrapp.jar, renders contour and surface plots. The Java Graph Applet, graphapp.jar, generates block, bar and pie charts, line plots and 3D scatter plots. The Java Map Applet, mapapp.jar, renders maps.

In Release 8.1 of the SAS Online Help, you can view the ODS parameters that are available with each of the applets by doing the following: Select HELP->SAS System Help. Once the SAS System Help window appears, do a search on one of the following applets: contourapplet, graphapplet or mapapplet.

This document describes those options and statements the SAS/GRAPH Java device driver does not support. It also describes those options and statements which work differently with the SAS/GRAPH Java device driver than with regular SAS/GRAPH device drivers (such as the GIF driver).

NOTE: All items that were implemented in Release 8.1 of SAS/GRAPH are denoted with *8.1

NOTE: All items that were implemented in Release 8.2 of SAS/GRAPH are denoted with *8.2

Browser Information

For Win, WinNT and WinNT Server systems, Microsoft's Internet Explorer Version 5 with the virtual machine option installed, or Netscape Navigator 4.07 or higher is recommended. For OS/2, Netscape Communicator 4.04 for Warp 4 or higher is recommended. For AIX/6000, HP-UX, Solaris, Intel ABI, IRIX and Compaq Tru64 UNIX, Netscape Navigator Version 4.08 or higher is recommended.

The SAS/GRAPH Java driver supports JAVA 1.1.4 or higher for Netscape and Version 5.0.0.3167 of the Virtual Machine for Internet Explorer. You can get the version of VM or JAVA from the JAVA Console window.

INTERNET EXPLORER Version 4 & 5: To open the JAVA console window, select VIEW->JAVA CONSOLE. If you do not see the option JAVA CONSOLE, you will first need to turn on the JAVA CONSOLE. This is done by doing the following:

  • Select TOOLS->INTERNET OPTIONS
  • Click on the ADVANCED tab
  • Go about two-thirds of the way down and select - Java Console Enables (requires restart)
  • Click on OK
  • Restart Internet Explorer

    • The JAVA console window should now be an option under VIEW.

    If you need to upgrade the version of the Virtual Machine do the following:

  • Click on START->CONTROL PANEL
  • Select Add/Remove Programs
  • Select Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 (or 5)
  • Click on the Add/Remove button
  • Select Add a Component
  • Click OK
  • A window should display titled: Windows Update:Internet Explorer & Internet Tools
  • Select Microsoft Virtual Machine
  • Click on the NEXT button
  • After the updated version of the Virtual Machine has been installed click on the FINISH button
  • Your PC will be rebooted with the latest version of the Virtual Machine installed

    NETSCAPE: To check the version of JAVA you have with NETSCAPE, bring up Netscape and select either COMMUNICATOR->JAVA CONSOLE or WINDOW->JAVA CONSOLE (depending on which version of Netscape you have installed).

    Printing and Saving the contents of a GraphApplet window

    Before you can print or save the contents (a picture) of a GraphApplet window, you must modify the security settings in your browser to accept GraphApplet's dynamic output. The procedure is performed only once for all applets in an Internet zone.

    Once "Access to all Files", "Access to Network Addresses", "Printing", "Dialogs" and "User Selected File Access" are enabled, you can print or save an image or the html file used to display the graph. Instructions for modifying these browser security settings are below:

    1. In the bottom right corner of your Web browser, note the name of the Internet zone from which the web page was loaded, for example, Local Intranet Zone.
    2. From the browser main menu, if you have Internet Explorer Version 4, select VIEW, then INTERNET OPTIONS... If you have Internet Explorer Version 5, select TOOLS, then INTERNET OPTIONS...
    3. In the Internet Options window, select the SECURITY tab. In the Security window, select the Internet zone name in the ZONE field that is the same as the one on the Web page. Select the CUSTOM LEVEL security setting, and click the SETTINGS button.
      4. The browser opens the Security Settings window.
    4. In this window, scroll the Security Settings list until the words JAVA and JAVA PERMISSIONS are displayed, then select CUSTOM, and click the JAVA CUSTOM SETTINGS... button. The browser displays a View Permissions list.
    5. Select the EDIT PERMISSIONS tab, scroll the Edit Permissions list, and under ACCESS TO ALL FILES, ACCESS TO ALL NETWORK ADDRESSES, PRINTING, DIALOGS and USER SELECTED FILE ACCESS for unsigned content select ENABLE.
    6. Close all dialogs by clicking the OK button, then exit and restart the browser.

    The security settings will remain in effect until you change them.

    You can get a hardcopy of the graph that is displayed in the applet window by selecting FILE-> PRINT from the browser menu. You can save a copy of the actual html that was used to display the graph by selecting FILE-> SAVE/SAVE AS from the browser menu.

    You can save the graph out as a bit map image (BMP) by RMB in the graph area and selecting FILE->SAVE AS. A pop-up menu allows you to specify the name of the BMP file. Note: This cannot be done for files that are stored on your hard drive unless you have update access to the security settings. This capability is NOT available on Netscape.

     

    General Information

    • Fonts - The SAS/GRAPH Java device driver supports only the SanSerif font. This font is equivalent to the Helvetica font.

    Beginning in *Release 8.2 with Java 1.1x the following fonts are supported: Dialog (this is taken from where the applets are running), SanSerif, Serif, Monospaced, Helvetica (maps to Arial on Windows), TimesRoman, Courier and DialogInput. Note that this is a limitation in Java 1.1x. The actual fonts available may vary between operating systems.

    SAS Formats - The SAS/GRAPH Java device driver does not support all of the SAS formats. A list of SAS formats that the SAS/GRAPH Java device driver does not support is located at the bottom of this document.

    User defined formats - The SAS/GRAPH Java device driver does not currently support user defined formats.
    Beginning in Release 8.1 of SAS/GRAPH user defined formats are supported. Two steps are needed to assign a user-defined format to a variable when using ODS and the SAS/GRAPH Java device driver:

    Step 1: Set up a format using PROC FORMAT and assign the format to the variable in a DATA step or within the graph procedure. For example: 

      proc format;
  value numfmt
  1='Area #1'
  2='Area #2';
run;
data one;
  input x val;
  format x numfmt.;
cards;
1 30
2 15
;
run;
    Step 2: Specify the USERFMTx= parameter on the ODS HTML statement in order to define the format in the Javascript. For example: 
      ods html file='c:\javatest.html'
      parameters=("userfmt1"="value numfmt 1='Area #1' 2='Area #2'");
goptions dev=java;
    If you have more than one format, the second format needs to be given a parameter value of USERFMT2. You can define as many formats as needed using the USERFMTx parameter. In Release 8.2 of SAS/GRAPH the user defined format is stored with the category variable in PROC GCHART if the variable is a character or if the DISCRETE option has been specified. In this instance the USERFMTx parameter is not necessary. This information is documented in SN-003354.

    PROC GANNO - The SAS/GRAPH Java device driver does not support PROC GANNO. For this procedure, the SAS/GRAPH GIF device driver will be used to produce the graphics output.

    PROC GPRINT - The SAS/GRAPH Java device driver does not support PROC GPRINT. For this procedure, the SAS/GRAPH GIF device driver will be used to produce the graphics output.

    PROC GREPLAY - The SAS/GRAPH Java device driver does not support PROC GREPLAY. For this procedure, the SAS/GRAPH GIF device driver will be used to produce the graphics output.

    PROC GSLIDE - The SAS/GRAPH Java device driver does not support PROC GSLIDE. For this procedure, the SAS/GRAPH GIF device driver will be used to produce the graphics output.

    PROC GTESTIT - The SAS/GRAPH Java device driver does not support PROC GTESTIT. For this procedure, the SAS/GRAPH GIF device driver will be used to produce the graphics output.

    • LEGEND Statement - The legend that is produced is a color legend, as opposed to a shape legend. The details regarding this are documented in SAS Note sn-001056. The contents of this usage note are below:

    The legend produced by the GPLOT procedure may not match the interpolation/symbols on the graph. This is most likely to occur if the SAS/GRAPH Java device driver is used with ODS to produce the output. In this case, the legend that is produced is a 'color legend', not a 'shape legend'. The 'color legend' consists of a square which is the color of the interpolation/symbol and the category value. It does not include the interpolation or the actual symbol marker.

    There is currently no circumvention for this problem. This problem has been corrected in Release 8.1 of SAS/GRAPH.

    The SAS/GRAPH Java device driver does not support (or does not fully support) the following LEGEND statement options. Comments follow those LEGEND statement options which are partially supported.

    LEGEND<1...99><options>;
    • appearance options

      *8.2 FRAME - Legends are always displayed with a frame by default. There is currently no way to display a legend without a frame.
      Supported by the GMAP procedure in *8.1
      FWIDTH=thickness-factor
      SHAPE=BAR(width,height) <units> | LINE(length) <units> | SYMBOL(width,height) <units>
    • position-options
      MODE=PROTECT | RESERVE | SHARE - With the SAS/GRAPH Java device driver, MODE= is always protect.
      OFFSET=(<x ><,y >)<units > | (<x <units >><,y <units >>)
      ORIGIN=(<x ><,y >)<units > | (<x <units >><,y <units >>)
      POSITION=(<BOTTOM | MIDDLE | TOP> <LEFT | CENTER | RIGHT> <INSIDE | OUTSIDE>)Supported by the GMAP procedure in *8.1
    • text-options
      LABEL=(text-argument(s)) | NONE LABEL='text string' is supported in Release 8.1 of SAS/GRAPH. In addition, LABEL=(COLOR='color text') is supported by PROC GCONTOUR and PROC GMAP in Release 8.1 of SAS/GRAPH. LABEL=NONE is supported by PROC GPLOT in Release 8.2 of SAS/GRAPH.
      ORDER=(value-list)
      VALUE=(text-argument(s)) | NONE

     

    ODS HTML Statement - The SAS/GRAPH Java device driver does not support (or does not fully support) the following ODS statement options. Comments follow those ODS statement options which are partially supported.

    ODS HTML HTML-file-specification(s) | action
    <BASE='base-text'>
    <GFOOTNOTE | NOGFOOTNOTE> - Currently, footnotes are always part of the HTML and not the graph.
    <GTITLE | NOGTITLE> - Currently, titles are always part of the HTML and not the graph.

     

    PATTERN Statement - The SAS/GRAPH Java device driver does not support (or does not fully support) the following PATTERN statement options. Comments follow those PATTERN statement options which are partially supported.

    PATTERN<1...99>
    <IMAGE= "texture file">  
    <VALUE=bar/block-pattern | map/plot-pattern | pie/star-pattern | hardware-pattern> - With the SAS/GRAPH Java device driver, patterns are always solid filled.

     

    SYMBOL Statement - The SAS/GRAPH Java device driver does not support (or does not fully support) the following SYMBOL statement options. Comments follow those SYMBOL statement options which are partially supported.

    SYMBOL<1...99>
    <MODE=EXCLUDE | INCLUDE>
    <REPEAT=number-of-times>
    <STEP=distance<units>>

  • Appearance Options - The following appearance-options are either not supported or not fully supported

    BWIDTH=box-width
    *8.1 CI=line-color
    CO=color
    FONT=font
    HEIGHT=symbol-height<units> - NOTE: The default heights may be LARGER than SAS/GRAPH's defaults.  For example, H=2 may actually SHRINK the size of a symbol instead of increasing it. In the case of multiple SYMBOL statements, the first value of HEIGHT= is used for the entire graph. This problem has been corrected in Release 8.1 of SAS/GRAPH. This option is not supported by the GCONTOUR procedure.
    LINE=line-type
    *8.2 POINTLABEL<=(label-description(s)) | NONE>
    VALUE=special-symbol | text-string | NONE - For Y*X=Z plots, the symbol specified on the first SYMBOL statement is the only symbol that is displayed on the graph. It is used for all of the values of Z. The color of the symbol changes based on the colors that are specified on the remaining SYMBOL statements. The only symbols that are supported are: SQUARE, DOT, TRIANGLE, PLUS and NONE. VALUE=X and VALUE=STAR are remapped to VALUE=PLUS. VALUE=DIAMOND is remapped to VALUE=TRIANGLE. VALUE=POINT and VALUE=CIRCLE are remapped to VALUE=DOT. The rest of the symbols are remapped to VALUE=SQUARE. In the example below, three different markers are requested: 
      Data one;
  do z = 1 to 3;
    x=z*2;
    y=x*z;
    output;
  end;
Proc gplot;
  plot y*x=z;
symbol1 v=square c=red;
symbol2 v=dot c=blue;
symbol3 v=triangle c=green;
run;
quit;
    The graph that is produced will contain 'red squares' when Z=1, 'blue squares' when Z=2 and 'green squares' when Z=3. This is because only one symbol marker is supported for Y*X=Z type plots. This problem has been corrected in Release 8.1 of SAS/GRAPH.
    WIDTH=thickness-factor
    Interpolation Options - The first valid interpolation that is specified (either NONE or JOIN) is used for all of the plot lines that are drawn.
