Base SAS

A I L O P R T

Name
Syntax and Description
ARROW Function
FUNCTION= “ARROW”;
Draws an arrow annotation from the specified (X1, Y1) coordinates to the specified (X2,Y2) coordinates.
Product: Base SAS
Document: SAS ODS Graphics: Procedures Guide
IMAGE Function
FUNCTION= “IMAGE”;
Specifies a graphic file to use for an image annotation. If no (X1, Y1) coordinates are provided, the image appears in the center of the graph.
Product: Base SAS
Document: SAS ODS Graphics: Procedures Guide
LINE Function
FUNCTION= “LINE”;
Draws a line annotation from the specified (X1, Y1) coordinates to the specified (X2,Y2) coordinates.
Product: Base SAS
Document: SAS ODS Graphics: Procedures Guide
OVAL Function
FUNCTION= “OVAL”;
Draws an oval annotation around the specified (X1, Y1) coordinates using the specified height and width.
Product: Base SAS
Document: SAS ODS Graphics: Procedures Guide
POLYCONT Function
FUNCTION= “POLYCONT”;
Continues drawing a polygon that was begun with the POLYGON function, or a line that was begun with the POLYLINE function. POLYCONT specifies each successive point in the polygon or polyline.
Product: Base SAS
Document: SAS ODS Graphics: Procedures Guide
POLYGON Function
FUNCTION= “POLYGON”;
Specifies the beginning point of a polygon. A polygon is a connected series of lines that form a closed shape. This function is used in conjunction with two or more POLYCONT functions to define vertex points for the polygon. Associated variables can define the fill pattern and color, as well as the line type that outlines the polygon.
Product: Base SAS
Document: SAS ODS Graphics: Procedures Guide
POLYLINE Function
FUNCTION= “POLYLINE”;
Specifies the beginning point of a polyline, which is a connected series of line segments. This function is used in conjunction with one or more POLYCONT functions to draw a series of connected straight lines.
Product: Base SAS
Document: SAS ODS Graphics: Procedures Guide
RECTANGLE Function
FUNCTION= “RECTANGLE”;
Draws a rectangle annotation around the specified (X1, Y1) coordinates using the specified height and width. By default, the (X1, Y1) coordinates constitute the center of the rectangle, though you can change this behavior using the ANCHOR option.
Product: Base SAS
Document: SAS ODS Graphics: Procedures Guide
TEXT Function
FUNCTION= “TEXT”;
Places text in the graph output. Associated variables can control the color, size, font, base angle, and rotation of the characters displayed. If you do not supply the (X1, Y1) coordinates, the text is placed in the center of the graph.
Product: Base SAS
Document: SAS ODS Graphics: Procedures Guide
TEXTCONT Function
FUNCTION= “TEXTCONT”;
Continues a text string that was started using the TEXT function. You can set the continued text apart from the main text by specifying different text attributes.

Name
Syntax and Description
ARROW Function
FUNCTION='ARROW';
Draws an arrow in the graphics output from the (XLAST, YLAST) coordinates to the (X,Y) coordinates specified in the function.
Product: SAS/GRAPH
Document: SAS/GRAPH: Reference
BAR Function
FUNCTION='BAR';
Draws a rectangle whose lower left corner is defined by the internal variables (XLAST, YLAST) and whose upper right corner is defined by the specified X, Y variable pair. You can define the color of the fill, the fill pattern, and the edge lines to be drawn.
Product: SAS/GRAPH
Document: SAS/GRAPH: Reference
CNTL2TXT Function
FUNCTION='CNTL2TXT';
Copies the values of the internal coordinates stored in the variable pairs (XLAST, YLAST) to (XLSTT, YLSTT).
Product: SAS/GRAPH
Document: SAS/GRAPH: Reference
COMMENT Function
FUNCTION='COMMENT';
Inserts comments within the Annotate data set. The observations generated by the COMMENT function are ignored when the data set is processed.
Product: SAS/GRAPH
Document: SAS/GRAPH: Reference
DEBUG Function
FUNCTION='DEBUG';
Writes the values of internal coordinates and Annotate variables to the SAS log before and after processing the next command (unless it is DEBUG) in the Annotate DATA step.
Product: SAS/GRAPH
Document: SAS/GRAPH: Reference
DRAW Function
FUNCTION='DRAW';
Draws a line in the graphics output from the (XLAST, YLAST) coordinates to the (X, Y) coordinates specified in the function.
Product: SAS/GRAPH
Document: SAS/GRAPH: Reference
DRAW2TXT Function
FUNCTION='DRAW2TXT';
Draws a line from (XLAST, YLAST) to (XLSTT, YLSTT) without updating any of those variables.
Product: SAS/GRAPH
Document: SAS/GRAPH: Reference
FRAME Function
FUNCTION='FRAME';
Draws a border around the portion of the display area defined by the XSYS and YSYS variables. Can specify a background color for the framed area.
Product: SAS/GRAPH
Document: SAS/GRAPH: Reference
IMAGE Function
FUNCTION='IMAGE';
Displays an image in the graphics output from the current (X,Y) coordinates to the (X, Y) coordinates that are associated with the IMGPATH variable.
Product: SAS/GRAPH
Document: SAS/GRAPH: Reference
LABEL Function
FUNCTION='LABEL';
Places text in the graphics output. Associated variables can control the color, size, font, base angle, and rotation of the characters displayed. You can also animate labels using the HTML= variable. When you specify the HTML= variable, you include the animation action and the parameters that control the animation. The animated label feature is available only when you use one of the SVG device drivers, except SVGANIM.
Product: SAS/GRAPH
Document: SAS/GRAPH: Reference
MOVE Function
FUNCTION='MOVE';
Moves the drawing pointer to a specific location without drawing a line.
Product: SAS/GRAPH
Document: SAS/GRAPH: Reference
