When I use dev=activex, my graphs look good (i.e. how I want them to look), but they just won't behave with ODS REGION statements (strange thing: they honour the X= value, and move across the page, but not the Y= value, so they stay at the top of the page no matter what value/unit combination I submit.<BR /> 2. When I use the SASPRTC device, I have the opposite problem: they look terrible (wrong colours, fonts, they're all squashed up, etc), but they honour ODS REGION placement precisely.<BR /> <BR /> Is there a way to have good looking graphs in the right place? Am I going to have to delve deeply into the SAS/GRAPH documentation about device drivers? Where should I begin?<BR /> <BR /> This is all too much for a humble frog!<BR /> <BR /> TF Sun, 25 Mar 2007 13:49:07 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/ODS-and-Base-Reporting/pdf-graph-issues/m-p/2612#M1135 TreeFrog 2007-03-25T13:49:07Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/ODS-and-Base-Reporting/pdf-graph-issues/m-p/2613#M1136 Hi:<BR /> <BR /> For information on SAS/Graph and customization using SAS/Graph statements and using device drivers and other GOPTIONS, then yes, you will have to delve into the world of SAS/Graph documentation.<BR /> <BR /> For ODS REGION/ODS LAYOUT information-- that capability is still experimental and your best bet for information on the usage is to look at SUGI papers, user-group papers or to contact Tech Support.
