Using ODS with the ACTXIMG Device Driver

The following sample program uses ODS HTML to create an HTML file that references four PNG files created by a SAS procedure when DEVICE=ACTXIMG. Because the ACTXIMG device driver invokes an ActiveX Control, you can only run this example in a Windows environment.

The GCHART procedure in this example includes a BY statement to display the results of each of the four quarters of the year. Consequently, the procedure produces four separate PNG files, only the first of which is shown here. A user would have to scroll down the page in the browser to see all the PNG images displayed.

Display 13.3: Using ODS with the ACTXIMG Device Driver

The following is the complete SAS code to generate PNG files from a SAS/GRAPH procedure using GOPTIONS DEVICE=ACTXIMG. You should notice the following:

PROC GREPLAY is used to delete any old GRSEGs that were created. This is not necessary, but otherwise SAS creates new GRSEGs each time the procedure is run rather than replacing the old, and from them creates new PNG files, incrementing the suffix number for each new PNG file.
The FILE= option of the ODS HTML statement specifies the path and filename of the HTML file to be created. If you want to run this example, then change the value of the option to the location where you want to store the file.

Note: You can specify the complete path and filename with the FILE= option (or the BODY= option, which is the same), or you can specify the path separately using the PATH= option, and just the filename with the FILE= or BODY= option. See the section ODS HTML Statement in the SAS Output Delivery System: User s Guide .
The GPATH= option of the ODS HTML statement specifies the directory where the PNG files are to be created. If you want to run this example, then change the value of the option to the location where you want to store the file.
Specifying that GOPTIONS DEVICE=ACTXIMG causes the GCHART procedure to produce PNG output.

Generating GIF Output Using ODS

The following sample program uses ODS to create an HTML file that references four GIF files created by a SAS procedure when DEVICE=GIF. The GIFs are displayed one after the other in the HTML page, so that a user would have to scroll to see all the graphs.

The GCHART procedure in this example includes a BY statement to display the results of each of the four quarters of the year. Consequently, the procedure produces four separate GIF files, only the first of which is shown here. A user would have to scroll the page in the browser to see all the GIF images displayed.

Display 13.4: Generating GIF Output Using ODS

The following is the complete SAS code to generate GIF files from a SAS/GRAPH procedure. You should notice the following:

PROC GREPLAY is used to delete the GRSEGs that are already created. This is not necessary, but otherwise SAS creates new GRSEGs each time the procedure is run, rather than overwriting the old, and from the new GRSEGs creates new GIF files, incrementing the suffix number for each new GIF.
The FILE= option of the ODS HTML statement specifies the path and filename of the HTML file to be created. If you want to run this example, then change the value to the directory where you want to store the HTML file.

Note: You can specify the complete path and filename with FILE= (or BODY=, which is a synonym), or you can specify the path separately using PATH=, and just the filename with FILE= (or BODY=) See the SAS Output Delivery System: User s Guide for information on the ODS HTML statement.
The GPATH= option of the ODS HTML statement specifies the directory where the GIF files are to be created. If you want to run this example, then change the value of the option to the location where you want to store the file.
The statement GOPTIONS DEVICE=GIF causes the GCHART procedure to produce GIF output.

GIF Output with Hotspot Links

This example shows you how to generate Web output with drill-down functionality using the GIF device driver (see also Generating Drill-Down Web Presentations with the GIF, JPEG, or PNG Device Driver on page 447).

In the program, the DEVICE=GIF specification generates image output files and the ODS HTML statement generates an HTML output file. The HTML= option identifies a link variable that provides drill-down URLs. The values of the link variables are added to the data set with IF/THEN statements. ODS inserts the drill-down URLs into an image map that it generates in the HTML output file.

When you display the HTML output file in a Web browser and select one of the three blocks in the chart, you see a table of the data for that block.
