PROC GREPLAY Statement

Determines whether the procedure starts in a windowing or nonwindowing environment, and whether the session is used for catalog management or output presentation.

Syntax

PROC GREPLAY <BYLINE>

• <CC= color-map-catalog >

• <CMAP= color-map-entry >

• <FS>

• <GOUT=< libref. > output-catalog >

• <IGOUT=< libref. > input-catalog >

• <IMAGEMAP= output-data-set >

• <NOBYLINE>

• <NOFS>

• <PRESENTATION>

• <TC= template-catalog >

• <TEMPLATE= template-entry >;

Options

Each PROC GREPLAY statement option has an equivalent statement that you can use instead.

BYLINE

• specifies that the BY statement information for the SAS catalog entries should be displayed. The BY statement information appears directly beneath the primary description of the entry. By default, the BY statement information is displayed.

CC= color-map-catalog

• identifies the color map catalog to be used with the GREPLAY procedure. Use the CMAP= option to assign a current color map that is contained in color-map-catalog .

  To assign a current color map or create new color maps, you must assign a color map catalog with the CC= option.

  To replay graphics output using a color map, you must assign a color map catalog and a current color map with the CC= and CMAP= options.

• Featured in: Example 3 on page 1274.

CMAP= color-map-entry

• assigns a current color map to use when replaying graphics output, where color-map-entry names an existing color map in the catalog specified in the CC= option. If color-map-entry is not in the catalog, an error message is written to the SAS log. Color-map-entry must have a catalog entry type of CMAP.

  If you do not specify a color map catalog using the CC= option when using the CMAP= option, a warning message is written to the SAS log.

  To replay graphics output using a color map, you must assign a color map catalog and a current color map with the CC= and CMAP= options.

FS

• specifies that the GREPLAY procedure should use windows. By default, if your device supports windows, the GREPLAY procedure uses windows . If your device does not support windows , the procedure begins execution in line-mode and the FS option has no effect.

GOUT=< libref .> output-catalog

• specifies the SAS catalog in which to save the graphics output that is produced by the GREPLAY procedure. In addition, catalog entries that contain graphics output can be copied to output-catalog . If you omit the libref, SAS/GRAPH looks for the catalog in the temporary library called WORK and creates the catalog if it does not exist. Output-catalog can be the same catalog that is specified in the IGOUT= option.

  To copy catalog entries, you must assign an input and, optionally , an output catalog with the IGOUT= and GOUT= options.

  See also: Storing Graphics Output in SAS Catalogs on page 53

  Featured in: Example 2 on page 1272.

IGOUT=< libref .> input-catalog

• specifies the input catalog to use with the GREPLAY procedure. The input catalog that you specify with the IGOUT= option should be a catalog that contains the graphics output that will be replayed. If you omit the libref, SAS/GRAPH looks for the catalog in the temporary library called WORK. Input-catalog can be the same catalog that you specified in the GOUT=option.

  To move, group, or delete catalog entries or to replay graphics output, you must assign an input catalog with the IGOUT= option.

  To copy catalog entries, you must assign an input and, optionally, an output catalog with the IGOUT= and GOUT= options.

  Featured in: Example 2 on page 1272.

IMAGEMAP= output-data-set

• must be used in conjuntion with the REPLAY statement (see REPLAY Statement on page 1257). The IMAGEMAP= option creates a temporary SAS data set that contains information about the graph that is replayed from the graphics catalog. The information in the image map data set includes the shape and coordinates of the elements in the graph, along with values that were associated with those elements in variables that were identified for that purpose in the HTML= and/or HTML_LEGEND= options. The image map data set can be used to generate an HTML image map in an HTML output file using the IMAGEMAP macro. The IMAGEMAP macro takes two arguments, the name of the image map data set and the name or fileref of an HTML output file, as shown in the following example:

   %imagemap(imgmapds, myimgmap.html); 

  See also: Adding Links with the HTML= and HTML_LEGEND= Options on page 574

NOBYLINE

• suppresses the BY statement information for the SAS catalog entries. The BY statement information appears directly beneath the primary description of the entry. By default, the BY statement information is displayed.

NOFS

• specifies that the GREPLAY procedure should use line mode. By default, if your device supports windows, the GREPLAY procedure uses windows. If your device does not support windows, the procedure uses line mode, regardless of whether you used the FS option or the NOFS option.

• Featured in: Example 1 on page 1270.

PRESENTATION

• specifies that the GREPLAY procedure should open the PRESENTATION window and use the catalog specified by the IGOUT= option as the input catalog. The PRESENTATION option is often used in applications to prevent the application users from deleting or reordering the catalog entries. You can only replay graphics output from the PRESENTATION window; you cannot manage catalogs or create templates and color maps from this window.

  You must use the IGOUT= option when you use the PRESENTATION option. The PRESENTATION option overrides the NOFS option on full-screen devices.

TC= template-catalog

• identifies the template catalog to use with the GREPLAY procedure. Use the TEMPLATE=option to assign a current template from template-catalog .

  To assign a current template or create new templates, you must assign a template catalog with the TC= option.

  To replay graphics output in a template, you must assign a template catalog and a current template with the TC= and TEMPLATE= options.

  Featured in: Example 1 on page 1270.

TEMPLATE= template-entry

• assigns a current template to use when replaying graphics output where template-entry names an existing template in the template catalog that is specified in the TC= option. If template-entry is not in the catalog, an error message is written to the SAS log. Template-entry must have a catalog entry type of TEMPLATE.

  When you use the TEMPLATE= option, you must also specify the name of a template catalog with the TC= option. Otherwise, a warning message is written to the SAS log.

  Featured in: Example 2 on page 1272.

Details

When you submit the PROC GREPLAY statement, the mode of operation depends on both the environment in which the statement is submitted and whether the NOFS option is included, as shown in Table 43.2 on page 1245.

Table 43.2: Ways of Invoking the GREPLAY Procedure

Environment	Statement	Result
windowing	PROC GREPLAY;	GREPLAY procedure windows
windowing	PROC GREPLAY NOFS;	line mode
nonwindowing	PROC GREPLAY;	line mode

You can switch back and forth between windows and line-mode within a session.

  • See also: Duplicate Entry Names on page 1240

Details

To copy a template from another catalog to the template catalog, specify template-catalog as the catalog from which the template should be copied. For example, if you want to copy NEWTEMP.TEMPLATE from the catalog named ONE.TEMPLT to the catalog named TARGET.TEMPLT, use the following statements:

 libname target 'SAS-data-library';  libname one 'SAS-data-library';  proc greplay nofs;     tc target.templt;     tcopy one.templt.newtemp.template;  quit; 

To create a duplicate copy of a template, simply omit template-catalog from your TCOPY statement. For example, to create a duplicate copy of a template named NEWTEMP within the template catalog, you could use the following statement:

 tcopy newtemp.template; 

TDEF Statement

Defines or modifies templates in the current template catalog.

Requirements: Assign a template catalog before using the TDEF statement.

Required Arguments

template-entry

• identifies an existing or a new template. If the template is not in the template catalog, the procedure creates it. If the template is already in the template catalog, the procedure modifies or makes additions to that template.

  Only template-entry is required, but if you specify only the template name without any options, no changes are made to an existing template and no new template is created.

Options

CLIP

• specifies that any panels behind this panel should be clipped. If clipping is in effect for a panel, only the graphics output that is to be placed in that panel can appear in the space that the panel occupies, unless a previous panel occupies all or part of that space.

COLOR= border-color

• specifies the color of the panel border. If you omit border-color , then no border is displayed around the panel when you replay graphics output in the panel. If you preview a template that contains a panel without a border color, the GREPLAY procedure uses the first color in the colors list as the outline for the border.

COPY= panel-number

• specifies the number of the panel definition that is to be copied to this panel.

DEF

• specifies a default panel. A default panel has the following characteristics:

  Panel Corner	Coordinates
  lower left	(0,0)
  upper left	(0,100)
  upper right	(100,100)
  lower right	(100,0)

DELETE

DEL

• deletes the panel.

<DES= entry-description

• specifies the description of the catalog entry for the template. The maximum length for entry-description is 256 characters. By default, the procedure uses *** new template *** for the description.

LLX= x

• specifies the X coordinate of the lower-left corner of the panel. Units for x are percentage of the graphics output area.

LLY= y

• specifies the Y coordinate of the lower-left corner of the panel. Units for y are percentage of the graphics output area.

LRX= x

• specifies the X coordinate of the lower-right corner of the panel. Units for x are percentage of the graphics output area.

LRY= y

• specifies the Y coordinate of the lower-right corner of the panel. Units for y are percentage of the graphics output area.

panel-number

• identifies the number of the panel that is being defined or modified.

ROTATE= degrees

• specifies the rotation angle for the panel. The coordinates of the panel corners are automatically adjusted.

SCALEX= factor

• specifies the scale factor for the X coordinates in the panel. You can use this scale factor to increase or decrease the size of the panel in the X direction or to reverse the X coordinates for the panel.

SCALEY= factor

• specifies the scale factor for Y coordinates in the panel. You can use this scale factor to increase or decrease the size of the panel in the Y direction or to reverse the Y coordinates for the panel.

ULX= x

• specifies the X coordinate of the upper-left corner of the panel. Units for x are percentage of the graphics output area.

ULY= y

• specifies the Y coordinate of the upper-left corner of the panel. Units for y are percentage of the graphics output area.

URX= x

• specifies the X coordinate of the upper-right corner of the panel. Units for x are percentage of the graphics output area.

URY= y

• specifies the Y coordinate of the upper-right corner of the panel. Units for y are percentage of the graphics output area.

XLATEX= distance

• specifies the distance to move the X coordinates of the panel. Units for distance are percentage of the graphics output area.

XLATEY= distance

• specifies the distance to move the Y coordinates of the panel. Units for distance are percentage of the graphics output area.

Details

Use coordinate values that are less than 0 and greater than 100 in the LLX=, LLY=, LRX=, LRY=, ULX=, ULY=, URX=, and URY= options to zoom in on the graphics output. That is, you can see only that part of the replayed graphics output in the range from 0 to 100 percent of the graphics output area.

The values that you supply for the SCALEX= and SCALEY= options are used to change the size and orientation of the panel. The scale factors are used for the corresponding X and Y coordinates of the panel. For example, if you specify

 scalex=.5  scaley=2 

the X coordinates are scaled to half the original size, and the Y coordinates are scaled to twice the original size.

If you supply a scale factor of 0, all of the coordinates are set to the same value. If you use a scale factor of 1, nothing happens. If you use a scale factor greater than 1, the values of the coordinates are increased and hence the size of the panel increases . If you use a scale factor less than 1 but greater than 0, the values of the coordinates are decreased and hence the size of the panel decreases. If you use a negative scale factor, the coordinates are reversed and hence the panel (and any graphics output replayed in the panel) is reversed .

TDELETE Statement

Deletes templates from the template catalog.

Caution: The GREPLAY procedure does not prompt you to confirm your request to delete templates.

Alias: TDEL

Syntax

• TDELETE template-entry(s) _ALL_;

Required Arguments

One of the following is required:

template-entry(s)

• identifies a template that is to be deleted from the template catalog. You can submit a single entry or a list of entries in a single TDELETE statement.

_ALL_

• deletes all of the templates in the template catalog.

TEMPLATE Statement

Assigns a current template to use when replaying graphics output.

Requirements: Assign a template catalog before using the TEMPLATE statement.

Note: If you specify a template that is not in the current template catalog or if you specify a template before you have assigned a template catalog, the GREPLAY procedure issues an error message.

Featured in: Example 1 on page 1270

Syntax

• TEMPLATE template-entry ;

Required Arguments

template-entry

• identifies an existing template to use when replaying graphics output. Use the TREPLAY statement to replay graphics output in the template.

TREPLAY Statement

Copies one or more entries from the graphics input catalog into a new entry in the graphics output catalog, using positioning information provided by the current template.

Requirements: Before issuing the TREPLAY statement, first specify a graphics input catalog with the IGOUT Statement on page 1253, assign a template catalog with the TC Statement on page 1257, and choose a template with the TEMPLATE Statement on page 1262.

Alias: TPLAY

Featured in: Example 2 on page 1272

Syntax

• TREPLAY select-pairs <DES=" entry-description " NAME=" entry-name ">;

• select-pairs are of the following form:

  • template-panel-number1 : entry-id1 < template-panel-numberN : entry-idN >

Required Arguments

template-panel-number : entry-id

• specifies the panel number and the name of a catalog entry.

• template-panel-number

  • determines the postion of the graph in the new entry in the graphics output catalog, based on the position of the specified panel in the current template.

• entry-id

  • specifies the name or number of the entry in the graphics input catalog that is to be added to the new entry in the graphics output catalog.

Options

DES= entry-description

adds a description to the new entry in the graphics output catalog. The description is truncated after 40 characters.

NAME= entry-name

names the new entry in the graphics output catalog. The name must begin with a letter and continue with up to seven more letters , numbers, or underscores. If the NAME= option is not specified, the new entry is named TEMPLATE by default. If an entry named TEMPLATE already exists in the graphics output catalog, the new entry is named TEMPLAT x , where x is a unique number. This naming convention also applies if the value of the NAME= option already exists in the graphics output catalog.

Details

When you replay existing GRSEG entries in a template, the GREPLAY procedure creates new graphics output that is stored in the output catalog.

You can replay as many entries as you want in a single TREPLAY statement as shown here:

 treplay 1:plot1 2:plot2 3:chart1; 

PLOT1 will be placed in panel 1 of the current template, PLOT2 will be placed in panel 2, and CHART1 will be placed in panel 3. You can use entry numbers in the place of entry names.
