Happy New Year! (note: GIF compressed with compressor.io)Happy New Year! (note: GIF compressed with compressor.io)

To mark the new decade, here's a quick-and-dirty SAS ODS Graphics take on a film leader countdown. Happy New Year, all!

 

* Fun w/SAS ODS Graphics: "Happy New Year!" Film Countdown Leader (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_leader);

pi=constant('pi');                                         * Angle=degrees of slices (0 to 360 by 15);

  text=put(counter,2.);                                    * Format econds remaining;
  do angle=0 to 360 by 15;                                 * Plot every 15 degrees beginning at top;
    StartRadians=90/360*2*pi-angle/360*2*pi;               * Convert radians to x/y points for plotting;

    do i=0 to angle by 1;                                  * Add more points to shaded plygon (one point/degree);
