The SAS windowing environment refers to the windows that open when
you invoke SAS. These windows include: the Program Editor, Log, Output,
Explorer, and Results. These windows appear when you start SAS from
your X workstation or through an X emulator. For more information
about these windows, see the online SAS Help and Documentation.
The SAS windowing environment
supports the use of X-based graphical user interfaces (GUIs). In UNIX
environments, SAS provides an X Window System interface that is based
on the Motif style.
Many features of the
SAS windowing environment are controlled by X resources. For example,
colors, window sizes, the appearance of the SAS ToolBox, and key definitions
are all controlled through X resources.
Customizing the SAS Windowing Environment provides general information about resources, such as how
to specify resources, and describes all of the resources that you
can use to customize the interface.
