Syntax

DASHLINE='dashed-line-hex-string'X

dashed-line-hex-string

is a hexadecimal string 16 characters long that must be completely filled. Each bit in the string corresponds to a line type. See Line Types for line types that correspond to each bit.

To use line type 1, turn on bit 1; to use line type 2, turn on bit 2; and so on. For example, in the following option the first byte is '1000'; only bit 1 is on and only line type 1 is selected:

dashline='8000000000000000'x

To turn on both bits 1 and 2, specify

dashline='c000000000000000'x

Bit 1 should always be on because it corresponds to a solid line.

If the DASH device parameter is N in the device entry or if NODASH is used in a GOPTIONS statement, SAS/GRAPH ignores the hexadecimal string in the DASHLINE device parameter.
