Parameter Definitions

AMBIENT= light-level

• specifies the intensity of non-directional ambient light in relation to direct light. Valid values range from 0.0 to 1.0. The default value is 0.4. The sum of direct light (see the DIRECT parameter) and ambient light can never exceed 1.0. Direct light is given priority. If you specify a sum of these two values that is greater than one, the ambient value will be reduced so that the sum of the two values equals one. This parameter is valid in the ActiveX control and for the Contour applet.

BACKCOLOR= color

• specifies the background color of the applet. The default value is the default window color of the operating system. This parameter is valid only in the Contour applet.

BACKDROPCOLOR= color

• specifies the color of all walls in the applet, including the floor. The default value is white. This parameter is valid only in the Contour applet.

BACKIMAGE= image-URL

• specifies the URL of the image that is applied to the background of the applet image area. By default, no image is used and the background is drawn in a single solid color. The way that the image will be applied to the background is specified with the DRAWIMAGE parameter. For the ActiveX control, the background image must be in GIF, JPEG, or BMP format. For the Graph, Map, or Contour applet, the URL must be absolute and not relative.

CLIPTIPS=TRUE FALSE

• indicates whether data tips should be clipped. The default value of TRUE does not display data tips when the cursor is outside of the plot area. A value of FALSE displays data tips when the cursor is outside of the plot area. The data tips window hugs the boundary and displays the value of the element that is closest to the cursor along that edge of the plot. This parameter is valid only in the Contour applet.

COLORNAMELIST= string

• specifies which of two named color lists has priority when searching for named colors. The default is to search the list of HTML 3.2 colors first, followed by the SAS name list. Specifying SAS as the string reverses this priority, giving SAS names higher priority. This parameter is valid only in the Contour applet.

COLORNAMES= name1=value1,name2=value2, ... nameN=valueN

• specifies the color names and associated 6-digit hexadecimal RGB values that will be displayed in the Standard Colors list box in the Color Edit dialog box. In the parameter value, no white space is allowed. The color name can be any valid string, and is displayed as specified in the list box. This parameter is valid in the Graph, Map, and Contour applets.

COLORSCHEME= scheme-name

• specifies the name of the color scheme that is applied to the graph. By default, no color scheme is applied to the graph. This parameter is valid in the ActiveX control and the Graph applet.

DDLEVELn configuration-string

• configures the drill-down graph that is generated at the drill-down level that is specified by the letter n . The drill-down graph is configured using drill-down tags such as G_INDEPV. For details, see Using Drill-Down Tags on page 412. This parameter is valid in the ActiveX control and in the Graph and Map applets.

DIRECT= light-level

• specifies the intensity of direct light (from a light source) in relation to the ambient (non-directional) light. Valid values range from 0.0 to 1.0. The default value is 0.6. The sum of direct light and ambient light (see the AMBIENT parameter) cannot exceed 1.0. Direct light is given priority. If you specify a sum of these two values that is greater than one, the level of ambient light will be reduced so that the sum of the two values equals one. This parameter is valid in the ActiveX control and the Contour applet.

DRAWIMAGE= background-image-application

• specifies how the image specified in the BACKIMAGE parameter is applied to the background of the applet window. This parameter is valid for the Graph, Map, and Contour applets. Here are the valid values:

  • CENTER

    • centers a single instance of the image in the background, without resizing the image.

  • POSITION

    • places a single instance of the image at the location supplied by the IMAGEPOSX and IMAGEPOSY parameters, without resizing. If these parameters are not specified, then the image is positioned at the top left corner of the applet window.

  • SCALE

    • fills the entire background of the applet window with a single instance of the specified image, which is resized as necessary.

  • TILE

    • fills the entire background of the applet window using multiple instances of the specified image, without resizing that image. The images are arranged in rows and columns .

DRAWMISSING=TRUE FALSE

• specifies whether missing values should be drawn. By default, missing values are not drawn. Missing values are drawn only when this parameter is set to TRUE and the Styles menu option is set to Block, Smooth, or Surface. This parameter is valid only in the Contour applet.

DRAWSIDES=TRUE FALSE

• specifies that sides should be drawn when the value of the STACKED parameter is TRUE and when the Styles menu option is set to Surface, Areas, or LinesAndAreas. The default value is FALSE. To override this parameter, you can specify an ODS style definition. This parameter is valid in the Contour applet.

DRILLDOWNFUNCTION= function-name

DRILLFUNC= function-name

• specifies the name of the JavaScript function that is called in Script drill-down mode. This parameter is valid in the ActiveX control and in the Graph and Map applets.

DRILLDOWNMODE=HTML LOCAL SCRIPT URL

• specifies the drill-down mode. This parameter is valid in the ActiveX control and in the Graph and Map applets. Here are the valid values:

  • HTML

    • uses a substitution string to dynamically generate a URL based on the selected chart elements, then passes the URL to the browser.

  • Local mode (Graph applet only)

    • constructs and displays a new graph based on the data in the previous level of a drill-down graph.

  • Script mode

    • invokes the JavaScript function specified in the DRILLDOWNFUNCTION parameter, and passes into the function data from the selected graph element.

  • URL mode

    • provides static drill-down, using an image map in the HTML file. The image map is generated using the IMAGEMAP= and HTML= options in SAS/GRAPH.

• The default drill-down mode is Local for the Graph applet. The Map applet and the ActiveX control do not enable user -selectable drill-down modes.

DRILLPATTERN= substitution-string

• specifies how to construct the drill-down URL when the drill-down mode is HTML. The substitution string is constructed with drill-down tags, which are expressed in parameters such as G_DEPV, as described in Using Drill-Down Tags on page 412. This parameter is valid in the ActiveX control and in the Graph and Map applets.

DRILLTARGET= target

• specifies where the drill-down destination is displayed in the browser. The default target is _BLANK, which is an HTML reserved word that displays the drill-down destination in a new browser window. The target can be specified as another reserved target name or as the name of a window or frame in your Web presentation. This parameter is valid in the ActiveX control and in the Graph and Map applets.

DUPLICATEVALUES= string

• determines how the applet will handle data values for grid positions that already have a data value. This parameter is valid in the Contour applet. Specify one of the following values:

• COUNT

  • stores at each grid location the number of values found for that location.

• FIRST

  • stores the first value found.

• LAST

  • stores the last value found.

• MAX

  • stores the maximum value found.

• MEAN

  • stores the mean (average) of all values found. This is the default value.

• MIN

  • stores the maximum value found.

• NMISS

  • stores the number of missing values found.

• RANGE

  • stores the range of values found. The range is computed as the maximum value minus the minimum value.

• SUM

  • stores the sum of all values found.

FILLPOLYGONEDGES=ALWAYS NEVER OS/2

• specifies whether to adjust rendering to fix a temporary vendor rendering defect. If you use Netscape on OS/2, then polygon edges do not always fill in correctly. If the value of this parameter equals the os.name Java system property, then the Contour applet sets the default value of this parameter to OS/2, which lets drawPolygon correctly fill in (render) the polygon edges, yet this extra drawing effort slows performance. If you set this parameter to the value of the parameter of the name of the operating system returned in os.name, then the adjusted rendering is performed when the applet runs on that operating system because the applet notifies the Java console. When you set the value to ALWAYS, the adjusted rendering is always performed, regardless of the operating system on which the applet is running. Similarly, if you set the value to NEVER, the adjusted rendering is never performed on any operating system. This parameter is valid only in the Contour applet.

FREQNAME= variable-name

• specifies a name for a new variable that contains the frequency count when a frequency chart is produced. By default, the name assigned to this variable is Frequency . This parameter may be overidden if you specify an ODS style definition. This parameter is valid in the Graph applet.

G_SUBGRV= variable-name

• specifies that a subgroup variable at this drill-down level is the same subgroup variable that was used at the previous drill-down level. Drill-down graphs that use this variable can be bar charts and scatter plots. This parameter is valid in the ActiveX control and in the Graph and Map applets.

GRADIENTBACKGROUND=TRUE FALSE VERTICAL HORIZONTAL

• specifies that the background of the window is or is not using a color gradient. To override this parameter, you can specify an ODS style definition. This parameter is valid in the ActiveX control and in the Graph, Map, and Contour applets. TRUE and FALSE are valid only for the Graph and Map applets. VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL specify the orientation of the color gradient and are only valid for the Contour applet. This parameter is ignored in the Contour applet if you specify the BACKIMAGE parameter. Use GRADIENTSTARTCOLOR and GRADIENTENDCOLOR to define the colors used to draw the background.

Note that certain annotations, such as pies, may display differently in the applet than in SAS when the value is FALSE.

IMAGEPOSX= horizontal-pixels

IMAGEPOSY= vertical-pixels

• specify the location of the upper-left corner of the background image that is named in the BACKIMAGE parameter. These parameters are ignored unless the value of the DRAWIMAGE parameter is POSITION. Positive pixel values are measured from the top-left corner of the applet window. Negative pixel values are measured from the bottom-right corner of the applet window. These parameters are valid in the ActiveX control and in the Graph, Map, and Contour applets.

LEGENDFIT=TRUE FALSE

• specifies the default size of the font to be used in the legend. Only positive values are valid. This parameter is valid only in the Contour applet.

LEGENDFONTSIZE= font-size

• specifies whether the legend should fit within the height of the contour plot area. By default the legend occupies as much of the applet height as is feasible . If TRUE, the height of the legend is restricted to the height of the contour plot within the legend. When you set this parameter, any value specified for LEGENDHEIGHTPERCENT is ignored. This parameter is valid only in the Contour applet.

LEVELOFDETAIL=TRUE FALSE

• specifies whether the level-of-detail processing should be used when drawing plots. The default value is TRUE, which allows level-of-detail processing. See also the LODCOUNT parameter. This parameter is valid only in the Contour applet.

LIGHTING=HEADLIGHT OVERHEAD NORTHEAST SOUTHEAST

• specifies the position of the light source relative to the position of the graph. The default value is HEADLIGHT, which directs two light sources at the graph from the front-center of the screen. This parameter is valid in the Contour applet.

LOADFUNC= Java-method

• specifies the name of a JavaScript method in the HTML output file that loads values and specifications. This parameter is valid in the Graph applet. This parameter should not be specified if you are using ODS.

LOCALE= xx_yy<_variant>

• specifies the language and country to use when displaying locale-sensitive text. This parameter is valid in the Graph, Map and Contour applets. Here are the values for this parameter, which are java.util locale specifiers:

LODCOUNT= number-of- cell (s)

• specifies the number of cells to use as the level-of-detail threshold. The default value is 2000. When the number of cells involved in drawing a plot in the applet exceeds this value and level-of-detail processing is on, then some cells are ignored when rendering the plot representation. See also the LEVELOFDETAIL parameter. This parameter is valid only in the Contour applet.

MENUREMOVE= menu-item(s)

• disables items in the Graph applet menu. Here is the syntax of menu-item(s) :

  • menu1-item <. menu2-item ... . menuN-item , menu “item2, ...menu-itemN >

• In the menu-item(s) value, periods ( . ) separate menu levels in menu paths. In menu paths, the menu item that is disabled is the last item in the path . Commas separate menu items and menu paths in a series. Menu items are specified using the text that is displayed by the applet, with blank spaces removed. For example, the menu item Graph Properties would be specified as GRAPHPROPERTIES. To apply the MENUREMOVE parameter, first generate the graph without the MENUREMOVE parameter. Then note the menu paths of the items that you wish to disable. This parameter is valid in the Graph applet.

MINLEGENDFONTSIZE= font

• specifies the minimum font to be used when attempting to fit the legend in the available applet area. Only positive integers are valid values. This parameter is valid only in the Contour applet.

MISSINGCOLOR= color

• specifies an HTML 3.2 color name or 6-digit hexadecimal RGB value that is to be used to draw missing values. The default color is black. This parameter is valid in the Contour applet.

NAME= applet-name

• specifies the name for this instance of the applet. Use this parameter only if you have more than one instance of the APPLET tag in your HTML file, and if you have included your own scripts or DHTML that communicates with or acts on a particular instance of the applet. This parameter may be overidden if you specify an ODS style definition. This parameter is valid in the Graph, Map, and Contour applets.

NAVIGATERENDERMODE=NONE POINT SOLID WIREFRAME

NOJSOOBJECT

• specifies that no JavaScript callback options can be created or used within the applet. This parameter may be overidden if you specify an ODS style definition. This parameter is valid in the Graph applet.

OUTLINECOLOR= color

• specifies the HTML 3.2 color name or 6-digit hexadecimal RGB value for the outlines of graph elements. This parameter is valid in the ActiveX control and in the Graph and Contour applets.

OUTLINES=TRUE FALSE

• specifies whether outlines should be drawn for the current contour style. Outlines are drawn when this parameter is TRUE and the Styles menu option is set to Area, Block, or Surface. This parameter is valid only in the Contour applet.

OVERFLOWCOLOR= color

• specifies an HTML 3.2 color name or a 6-digit hexadecimal RGB color for colors that are assigned to data values that exceed the maximum range of colors that have been defined in the color palette. The default value is CYAN. This parameter is valid in the ActiveX control and in the Contour applet.

PATTERNSTRIP=TRUE FALSE

• removes preceding and trailing white space from drill-down substitution patterns before the substituted text is added into a dynamically generated drill-down URL. The default value is FALSE. This parameter is valid in the ActiveX control and in the Graph and Map applets.

PROJECTION=ORTHOGRAPHIC PERSPECTIVE

• specifies the type of projection that is used to draw contours . The default value is ORTHOGRAPHIC. This parameter is valid in the Contour applet.

PROJECTIONRATIO= plot-size-ratio

• specifies the ratio of the plot area (applet size minus legend reserve) to the longest dimension of the plot. For example, specifying a value of 2.0 means that the area that contains the contour plot is twice the size of the longest plot dimension. This guarantees that the plot will be surrounded by a space that measures half the length of the longest projection (not including axes). The default value is 1.5. Values must be greater than or equal to 1.0. This parameter is valid in the Contour applet.

RENDERMODE= string

• specifies how to render the contours when you are not navigating (panning, rotating, or zooming) the Contour applet. This parameter is valid only in the Contour applet. In some cases, changing the representation can provide additional information about the image, such as more clearly displaying cell boundaries. Here are the valid values for the polygon representations that determine how the Contour applet image can be drawn:

• POINT

  • draws polygons using only single-pixel points at the polygon vertices.

• SOLID

  • draws filled polygons. This is the default value and the normal representation.

• WIREFRAME

  • draws polygons using only lines to represent their edges.

RENDEROPTIMIZE=ALWAYS NAVIGATION NEVER ONNAVIGATION

• sets the default for rendering optimization for the Contour applet. This parameter is valid only in the Contour applet. To correctly render images, the applet must first sort the polygons that comprise the image. Some polygons require additional sorting steps to ensure that they are correctly drawn. In many cases, these additional steps are unnecessary because they only slow applet performance and do not add to image quality. This parameter lets you specify if and when the applet should attempt to optimize or reduce the number of sorting operations to be performed. The RENDEROPTIMIZE parameter is ignored unless you set the RENDERQUALITY parameter to CUSTOM. The default value depends on the value of the RENDERQUALITY parameter.

  • When the RENDERQUALITY parameter is set to BESTQUALITY, the default value for the RENDEROPTIMIZE parameter is NEVER.

  • When the RENDERQUALITY parameter is set to FASTERNAVIGATION, the default value for the RENDEROPTIMIZE parameter is ONNAVIGATION.

  • When the RENDERQUALITY parameter is set to BESTPERFORMANCE, the default value for the RENDEROPTIMIZE parameter is ALWAYS.

RENDERQUALITY= value

• specifies how two available rendering algorithms, one slower and one faster, are applied to the graph. This parameter may be overidden if you specify an ODS style definition. This parameter is valid for the Map and Contour applets. Here are the valid values:

  • BESTPERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE

    • always uses the faster, less complex rendering algorithm.

  • BESTQUALITY QUALITY

    • always uses the slower, more complex rendering algorithm.

  • FASTERNAVIGATION NAVIGATION

    • uses the faster, less complex rendering algorithm during pan, rotate, and zoom, and uses the more complex algorithm otherwise . This is the default value.

  • CUSTOM (Contour applet only)

    • lets the user select individual elements that control speed and quality directly, rather than as a group when rendering an image.

SHOWBACKDROP=TRUE FALSE

• specifies whether all walls (including the floor) should be displayed. This parameter overrides any ODS settings and is valid only in the Contour applet.

SHOWLEGEND=TRUE FALSE

• specifies whether the legend should be displayed. This parameter overrides any ODS settings and is valid only in the Contour applet.

SIMPLEDEPTHSORT=TRUE FALSE

• the default value TRUE indicates that the simpler polygon sorting algorithm is used when rendering the plot. This parameter is valid in the Contour applet.

SIMPLETHRESHOLD= number-of-elements NEVER

• specifies an integer for the threshold that is used to determine if the graph should be rendered using simple geometry. For bar charts, simple geometry means that graphical elements are represented as lines. For plots, simple geometry means that graphical elements are represented as plus signs (+).

• If the graph contains a number of elements that is greater than the SIMPLETHRESHOLD value, simple geometry is used and the Shape menu is made unavailable. The default value is 500. You can also specify the value NEVER, in which case simple geometry is never used and the Shape menu is always available.

• Note that if you select and display a subset of the graph, and if the number of elements in the resulting graph drops below the value of the SIMPLETHRESHOLD parameter, regular markers are drawn and the Shape menu is made available.

• This parameter is valid in the Graph applet.

STACKED=TRUE FALSE

• specifies whether the contours should displayed in stacked form, where height is added to the contour plot based on the contour level. This parameter takes effect only when the Style menu option is set to Areas or LinesAndAreas. The default value of this parameter is FALSE. See also the DRAWSIDES parameter. This parameter is valid in the Contour applet.

STACKPERCENT= height-percentage

• specifies the maximum stacking height as a percentage of the longest axis. The default value is 30. This parameter is valid in the Contour applet.

SURFACESIDECOLOR= color

• specifies the color of the sides of a contour plot when that plot uses multiple colors. The value of the parameter is ignored when drawing a surface plot in a single color. The default color is the color of the minimum data value. The value must be an HTML 3.2 color name or a 6-digit hexadecimal RGB value. This parameter is valid in the Contour applet.

TIPBACKCOLOR= color

• specifies an HTML 3.2 color name or a 6-digit hexadecimal RGB value for the background of the data tips. The default value is YELLOW. This parameter is valid in the Contour applet.

TIPBORDERCOLOR= color

• specifies an HTML 3.2 color name or a 6-digit hexadecimal RGB value for the border of the data tips. The default value is BLACK. This parameter is valid in the Contour applet.

TIPS=NONE STATIONARY TRUE FALSE

• specifies whether to display data tips. NONE and STATIONARY are valid values only for the Graph and Map applets, and TRUE and FALSE are valid only for the Contour applet. Specifying the default value of STATIONARY or TRUE enables displays data tips, and NONE and FALSE disables this. This parameter is valid in the ActiveX control and in the Graph, Map, and Contour applets.

TIPMODE=STANDARD HTML TABULAR

• specifies which of two types of data tips are to be displayed. One set of data tips is specified with the TIPS parameter on page 437. The other set of data tips is specified with the HTML= statement option. Specify TIPMODE=HTML to display only the data tips that are indicated by the HTML= statement option. Specify TIPMODE=TABULAR to display only the data tips that are indicated by the value of the TIPS parameter. Specify TIPMODE=STANDARD to display both sets of data tips. The default value is STANDARD. To display data tips with the HTML= statement option, the syntax of that option is HTML= ALT= ˜ text variable-name . For further information on data tips, see Adding Data Tips to Web Presentations on page 568.

TIPSTEMSIZE= line-length

• specifies the length in pixels of the line that connects the data tips to the graph element that makes use of that data. The default value is 20. This parameter is valid in the Contour applet.

TIPTEXTCOLOR= color

• specifies an HTML 3.2 color name or a 6-digit hexadecimal RGB value for the text in the data tips. The default value is BLACK. This parameter is valid in the Contour applet.

UNDERFLOWCOLOR= color

• specifies an HTML 3.2 color name or a 6-digit hexadecimal RGB value for the color that is assigned to data values that are smaller than the minimum range of colors that have been defined in the color palette. The default value is WHITE. This parameter is valid in the Contour applet.

USERFMT n = string(s)

• defines the user format specification. The syntax is the same as that of the VALUE and PICTURE statements for PROC FORMAT. You can specify multiple USERFMT n parameters by replacing n with the appropriate number from 1 to n , where n is the number of format parameters to be defined. For example, to define a simple YESNO format, specify the parameter <PARAM NAME="USERFMT1" VALUE="VALUE YESNO 1= ˜Yes 2= ˜No ">. This parameter is valid only in the Contour applet.

VIEW2D=TRUE FALSE

• indicates whether the view point should be locked to two dimensions. The default value is TRUE for the Contour applet and FALSE for the Graph applet and ActiveX control. This parameter might be overidden if you specify an ODS style definition.

XBINS= bin-number-or “values

YBINS= bin-number-or-values

• configures the bins uses to generate a contour plot. Specifying a single integer uses that number of bins. The single integer must be greater than 2. Specifying multiple values uses multiple bins with those values. Multiple values are real numbers that are separated by semicolons, as follows :

   ods html file=  filename.html  parameters=("XBINS"="-1;0;2.5;3.5;4"                 "YBINS"="1;2;3;4;5;6"); 

• These parameters are enabled in the Contour applet.

VIEWPOINT=2D SE SOUTHEAST

• defines the initial viewpoint for the Contour applet. The value SE or SOUTHEAST set the initial viewpoint to Southeast, a three-dimensional viewpoint. The value 2D sets the value to be two-dimensional. The default value is 2D for PROC GCONTOUR output and SOUTHEAST for PROC G3D. Setting this parameter unlocks the 2D view (see VIEW2D). This parameter is valid only in the Contour applet.
