sas >> gplot w/o graphics device

by Nathan.N.Broudo » Thu, 18 Nov 2004 00:52:34 GMT

Hi,

I'd like to use gplot to output to a gif file without involving the
graphics device. When I run gplot, it contacts the X server before it
continues, therefore I can't run my SAS program in batch mode (I'm on VMS)
because it hangs up waiting for a response from X. I've tried using
goption nodisplay, but it still talks to the X server. Is there a way to
just produce the gif file ?

Thanks

Try the system option NOTERMINAL. You might also need NODMS.

I don't think you want NODISPLAY, which, according to the
documentation, will sometimes suppress the creation of all graphics
output.

1. Saving graphics using goptions device

2. unable to initialise graphic device 

Hello All,
I am using Gplot and greplay with goptions.

My goptions for Gplot and Greplay are as follows
 goptions nodisplay;
 goptions reset=symbol rotate=landscape device = emf gsfname=censor
ctext=black cback=white gsfmode=replace
ftext=centb gsflen=80 display autofeed gunit=pct;

The gplot prints correctly to the filename "censor" however the greplay
throws out an error "unable to initialise graphic device" with the same
goptions except with a different gsfname.

Eg.

filename wordfile "U:\xx.emf";
  goptions display;
  goptions reset=symbol rotate=landscape device = emf gsfname=wordfile
ctext=black cback=white gsfmode=replace
ftext=centb gsflen=80 display autofeed gunit=pct;
  goptions display;
  goptions reset = symbol gsfname = wordfile gsfmode = replace;

  proc greplay igout = work.mygraf tc = work.newtwo nofs;
tdef newtwo des = 'Survival Curves'
1/llx = 0 lly = 0
ulx = 0 uly = 100
urx = 100 ury = 100
lrx = 100 lry = 0;
template newtwo;
treplay 1:g1 1:g2;
run;

ERROR: Unable to create file U:\xx.emf
ERROR: Unable to initialize graphics device.

I would appreciate any suggestions with this issue.

3. GPLOT legend and device questions (repost)

4. GPLOT legend and device questions 

Using the Graph-N-Go generated code below I have the following questions.
1 - The code did not build the legend statement.  How do I build the legend
so that all 3 vars (trn_nbr, cbk_nbr, vdn_nbr) are in a boxed legend
centered outside the right of the graph and each tick is on a seperate line?
2 - The scale for the axis1 is defaulting to 10, how do I display all
values?
3 - How do I scale axis2 and axis3 to 5?

7. Device driver error/graphics device driver error (blue screen) 0x0 - Windows Update

8. Drawing 2 plots with gplot from a bash file 

Hi all,

I'm trying to draw 2 plots from one bash file myBash.sh :

#! /bin/bash
gplot myPlot1 &
gplot myPlot2 &

I launch this bash file thanks to the command :
.. myBash.sh

I've put a dot before "myBash.sh" because I want my graphs to keep
being visible on my screen after the bash file execution is over.

My problem is that I never get the two plots on the screen at the same
time. The behavior of this bash file is a bit weird. When I launch it,
sometimes I get only one plot and sometimes I get two plots but twice
the same (instead of one of each i.e. myPlot1 and myPlot2) !!

Does anybody know a workaround to this problem.

Thanks a lot,

Cric
