CALL GSCRIPT (x, y, text <*>, angle <*>, rotate <*>, height <*>, font <*>, color <*>, window <*>, viewport ) ;
The GSCRIPT subroutine is a graphical call that writes multiple text strings.
The required arguments to the GSCRIPT subroutine are as follows:
is a scalar or vector that contains the horizontal coordinates of the lower left starting position of the text string’s first character.
is a scalar or vector that contains the vertical coordinates of the lower left starting position of the text string’s first character.
is a character vector of text strings.
The optional arguments to the GSCRIPT subroutine are as follows:
is the slant of each text string.
is the rotation of individual characters.
is a real number that specifies the character height.
is a character matrix or quoted literal that specifies a valid font name.
is a valid SAS color. The color argument can be specified as a quoted text string (such as 'RED'), the name of a character matrix that contains a valid color as an element, or a color number (such as 1) that refers to a color in the color list.
is a numeric matrix or literal that specifies a window. This is given in world coordinates and has the form
|
{minimum-x minimum-y maximum-x maximum-y} |
is a numeric matrix or literal that specifies a viewport. This is given in normalized coordinates and has the same form as the window argument.
The GSCRIPT subroutine writes multiple text strings with special character fonts. The x and y vectors describe the coordinates of the lower left starting position of the text string’s first character. The color argument can have more than one element.
Note: Hardware characters cannot always be obtained if you change the HEIGHT or ASPECT parameters or if you use a viewport.
The coordinates in use for this graphics command are world coordinates. Examples of valid statements follow:
call gscript(7, y, names); call gscript(50, 50, "plot of height vs weight"); call gscript(10, 90, "yaxis", -90, 90);
