ODS : Text in portrait and Figures in landscape

ODENWALD — Thu, 24 May 2018 16:08:58 GMT

In ods pdf is there a way to fix settings such that one would get all Text in portrait and all Figures in landscape mode in the final pdf ?

Not sure what you are asking as i am unsure which text you are referring to.

You should be able to do

options orientation=landscape;

proc something;

run;

options orientation=portrait;

proc something;

run;

options orientation=landscape;

proc something;

run;

options orientation=portrait;

proc something;

run;

as often as you like.

HB :

I knew that.

To make it more precise ::

a. I wanted to avoid these many portrait / landscape switches.

b. I would want to be able to globally change the settings in order to avoid going over the whole program and readjust when changing from say ods pdf to ods rtf (where in the latter there are different defaults w.r.t. automatic graph size).

c. There are lots of SAS procedures which produce text output (many pages) and figures/graphs,

e.g. proc univariate or proc capability and many more.

I do not want to have the complete output of one orientation but have a split.

d. Esp. in ods pdf the standard impression of figures is 'longish' -- I know that for a final version e.g. A4-fitting sizes can be set.

Let's use a non-SAS term <graphics object> here meaning a figure with heavy content which would be best studied in landscape ::

hence I'm asking for a logic that would operate as <now here comes a graphics object, so switch to landscape and after it switch back to portrait> and so on.

At the top of the programs I would want to activate/cancel that feature.

It may be that it is simply not possible.

I hope that I have cleared my point.
