Printing from the Window
Printing from the window is the most flexible way to print. To print from a SAS/INSIGHT window, follow these steps.
 |
Select any graphs or tables you wish to print |
If no graphs or tables are selected, you will print all objects visible in the active window. To print all objects in the window, visible or not, choose Edit:Windows:Select All to select all graphs and tables in the window.
|
Choose File:Print. |
On Windows and OS/2, this displays a host Print dialog, with options such as the Print as Bitmap option in the preceding sections. If you receive a host Print dialog, click OK. This displays the SAS/INSIGHT Print dialog.
Figure 27.12: SAS/INSIGHT Print Dialog
In the SAS/INSIGHT Print dialog, the Fill Page option expands your output to fill the area of the page. The One Per Page option prints each graph and table on a separate page. The Titles and Footnotes option prints using SAS titles and footnotes.
If you set both One Per Page and Titles and Footnotes options, and if your window contains group variables, an additional title is generated to show the group. The group title is similar to the BY-group title in SAS/GRAPH output. An example of the group title for histograms of YR_MAJOR by LEAGUE is shown in Figure 27.13.

Set options as needed, then click OK in the Print dialog |
Clicking OK in the Print dialog routes your printing through host printing facilities if they are provided. Windows and OS/2 provide such facilities, and they are documented in SAS companions and host changes and enhancements reports.
If your host does not support host printing, your printing is routed through SAS/GRAPH software. You will be prompted for an output device if you have not specified one with the GOPTIONS TARGETDEVICE= option.

An alternative way of printing is to save your graphics to catalogs and print them from SAS/GRAPH software. This enables you to edit your output before printing. SAS/GRAPH printing and graphics catalogs are described in SAS/GRAPH Software: Reference.
