Altair SLC does not yet allow PROC IML; SUBMIT / PYTHON; ... ENDSUBMIT; QUIT;
Currently SLC is copying SAS Software by emulating PROC IML; SUBMIT / R; ... ENDSUBMIT; QUIT; However, SLC has equivalent functionality for Python, but does not yet allow PROC IML; SUBMIT / PYTHON; ... ENDSUBMIT; QUIT;, probably because SAS Software does not include it. Can this functionality be added to SLC?

pythonによるScreenをキャプチャし、pptxに貼付けする際の最適な方法について
reportによってpptxに貼付ける際、思うように貼付けることができません。（大体は小さめに貼付されます。）何か最適な方法はありますでしょうか。 具体的には、CaptureVideoTool Classのtop,bottom値の考え方,width,heightの値の意味について、ご教示お願い致します。 また、プレースホルダの順序について、screenキャプチャが最前面にきてしまうのは変更することは可能でしょうか。（テキストの方が必ず後ろになってしまいます。） 以上、何卒よろしくお願いいたします。

Can this behaviour be recreated via the Python API? Updating a collection via interactive selection doesn't achieve this behaviour… Any idea?
