Chapter 9: Introducing SASGRAPH Output for the Web

Which Device Driver or Macro Do I Use?

Generating a web presentation that includes graphics requires that you use a device driver or macro that generates web output. Determining which device driver or macro to use requires that you consider issues such as

• What type of graph do I need?

• What procedure, if any, generates the graph that I need?

• In which operating environments do I need to generate the presentation?

• In which operating environments do I need to deliver the presentation?

• Will my audience need to install additional software to view the presentation?

• What interactive features do I want in my presentation?

The following topics describe the types of web presentations that are available, help you decide which type you need, and tell you how to generate the presentation and deliver it to your audience. The primary purpose of these topics is to help you determine which device driver or macro you need to use.

• Types of Web Presentations Available on page 370 describes each type of web presentation, their features, and which device driver or macro you need to use to create that type of presentation.

• Selecting a Type of Web Presentation on page 378 guides you through the process of determining which device driver or macro to use. If the type of presentation you need to generate can be generated with multiple device drivers, then additional factors determine which driver to use.

• Generating Web Presentations on page 382 summarizes the methods by which each type of web presentation is created.
