Chapter 38: The GPRINT Procedure

Overview

The GPRINT procedure converts a text file into graphics output that can be displayed or printed on a graphics output device. You can enhance the output with TITLE, NOTE, and FOOTNOTE statements, or include Annotate graphics, or both. Like output from any other SAS/GRAPH procedure, output from the GPRINT procedure can be stored in catalogs and replayed with the GREPLAY procedure.

You can use the GPRINT procedure when you want to create graphics output from tabular material, reports , or any external text file produced by the SAS System or other software application. To display text and graphics generated by SAS/GRAPH software, use the GSLIDE procedure.

Figure 38.1 on page 1147 shows a graphics output generated by the GPRINT procedure from SAS output generated by the MEANS procedure. Titles and footnotes have been added, and the Swiss font has been assigned to the procedure output text.
