Enhancing Web Presentations for the Metaview Applet

The JAVAMETA device driver is used to generate interactive Web presentations that run in the Metaview Applet. The Metaview Applet displays and provides interactivity for graphs that have been generated in metagraphics format. This format can be generated by most SAS/GRAPH procedures (For a list , see Metaview Applet on page 375), as well as some other such as PROC GANTT.

Programming for the default configuration of the Metaview Applet consists of specifying the JAVAMETA device driver, generating an HTML output file, and generating a graph. For information on programming for this default configuration, see Developing Web Presentations for the Metaview Applet on page 469.

You can enhance the default configuration as follows :

• Specify a non-English resource file and font for Java 1.02 presentations. See Specifying Non-English Resource Files and Fonts on page 474.

• Display and configure a zoom control. See the applet parameters that begin with ZOOM, in Metaview Applet Parameters on page 475.

• Replace the default applet help with application-specific help. Set the applet parameter HELPLOCATION to point to your help files.

• Set the background color by setting the applet parameter BACKGROUNDCOLOR.

• Disable embedded controls that otherwise appear automatically in presentations that include multiple graphs. See the parameters SLIDESHOWCONTROLENABLED and PAGECONTROLENABLED.

Note that you can combine almost all of the available enhancements, including different drill-down modes.

Note that the META2HTM macro enables you to generate enhanced Web presentations by specifying selected macro arguments, as described in Using the META2HTM Macro on page 471.

To learn how to specify applet parameters, see Specifying Applet Parameters Using the ODS PARAMETERS= Statement on page 477. Reference information on applet parameters is provided in Metaview Applet Parameters on page 475.
