Hello,
I am trying to create a GIF animation in SAS studio 3.8. However, I keep getting the warning:
WARNING: RTF destination does not support GIF images. Using the
default static format.
Due to this, I am only producing the individual graphs and not the GIF. Here is my code that came from an example on SAS Blogs:
ods html;
data stocks;
set sashelp.stocks;
Month = month(date); /* 1, 2, 3, ..., 12 */
Year = year(date); /* 1986, 1987, ..., 2005 */
run;
proc sort data=stocks; by date; run;
ods graphics / imagefmt=GIF width=4in height=3in; /* each image is 4in x 3in GIF */
options papersize=('4 in', '3 in') /* set size for images */
nodate nonumber /* do not show date, time, or frame number */
animduration=0.5 animloop=yes noanimoverlay /* animation details */
printerpath=gif animation=start; /* start recording images to GIF */
ods printer file='C:\Users\lindsey.nelson\Gifs'; /* images saved into animated GIF */
ods html select none; /* suppress screen output */
proc sgplot data=stocks;
title "Stock Performance";
by year; /* create 20 images, one for each year */
series x=month y=close / group=stock; /* each image is a time series */
xaxis integer values=(1 to 12);
yaxis min=10 max=210 grid; /* set common vertical scale for all graphs */
run;
ods html select all;
ods listing; /* restore screen output */
options printerpath=gif animation=stop; /* stop recording images */
ods printer close;
ods html close;
ods printer file='C:\Users\lindsey.nelson\myMap.gif';
You needed to give it an actual file name, such as gif.
