sgrender graphs on RTF different than on HTML viewer

Felix_ — Wed, 04 Oct 2017 13:59:01 GMT

Dear Community,

I am generating a .rtf file with several pages. Among other Outputs there are graphics generated by the SGRENDER procedure (with modified templates) in this document. While developing the templates i always took a look in the HTML Viewer if they look how i want them to look. Once the result was satisfying i transfered the graphics in the RTF document. Following the difference in layout:

HTML Results Viewer

In the RTF file:

You can see that the linesize is different.... not how i defined it in the template. HOW can i modify the underlying Options which cause different linesizes on RTF file?

- does it have sth. to do with rtf-tag sets?

here is some code:

proc template;
define statgraph temp_5_1;

[.... several definitions ... ]

     discretelegend 'bar_5_1' 'timeline_5_1'/  LOCATION= INSIDE HALIGN = RIGHT VALIGN = TOP ACROSS = 1 opaque=false ;     /* following is to determine which reference-lines to draw. */
     referenceline x=2 / lineattrs=(color=black pattern = Dash THICKNESS=7 )   /*curvelabel="normal DE"*/ CURVELABELLOCATION = OUTSIDE CURVELABELPOSITION = MAX  DISCRETEOFFSET=+0.5; 
     referenceline x=3 / lineattrs=(color=black pattern = Dash THICKNESS=2 )   curvelabel="°"             CURVELABELLOCATION = OUTSIDE CURVELABELPOSITION = MAX  DISCRETEOFFSET=+0.5; 
   endlayout;
   entryfootnote  halign=right textattrs=(weight=bold size=8pt)"°Countries performing extended data-entry in Argus.";
endgraph;
end;
run;

/*erzeugen der Grafik*/
ods graphics on / height=11cm;

Maybe it's the part with the Dummy template? How can i change the Option defining the line-styles of the graph?

Thank you in advance & best regards,

I don't see anyplace in that code where you are specifying the use of the style dummy.

By default each output destination defaults to a different style and without something like

Ods html style=styles.dummy;

ods tagsets.rtfDS_CSPV_tag style=styles.dummy;

the default ODS style for the destination will be used.

Also the line thickness attribute when a unit of measure is not used will default to different measures depending on ODS destination.

You might try setting a unit like PT or cm for the line attribute so each destination has a chance of having the same thickness.
