Graph Margins/Font

deleted_user — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 11:17:39 GMT

I've been trying to control the margins for this graph via the OPTIONS statement above the ODS code using TOPMARGIN, BOTTOMMAGRIN but they don't seem to have any effect.

Also, I've been trying to use Courier New font by using in GOPTIONS DEVICE = SASEMF, although this gives the desired font, the actual graphical image becomes very poor in comparison to using DEVICE = CGMOF97L.

Much appreciate any thoughts on this.

(sorry I see my datalines data has become squashed, PCTPTREF is either 'PARTB DAY-1 DOSE1 ' or 'PARTB DAY12 DOSE12' and PCTPTNUM are values from 0 through to 19.5.)

You will likely find this document helpful for the resolution and font problems. http://support.sas.com/techsup/technote/ts674/ts674.html

You may also need to do some work in proc template to set the margins and add a style option to the ods rtf statement, e.g.

proc template;
define style mytheme;
parent=styles.theme;
replace Body from Document
"Undef margins so we get the margins from the printer or SYS option"
/
bottommargin = 0.19in
topmargin = 0.19in
rightmargin = 0.20in
leftmargin = 0.20in;
end;
run;

Re: Graph Margins/Font

Andre — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 15:53:09 GMT

Jman,

You have a problem with this option i=j Do you really want vertical interpol lines?
Another point is
WARNING: The numeric ORDER= list on axis statement 1 was ignored because the axis labeled day represents a character variable.

About title and eventual Ftitle goptions Simplex sas font is substitued to hardware font
but the other goptions are working ftext=

read this pgm
and note another template
and title2 and 3
and some other modifications without a gdevice as we are in a rtf context

Hi guys, thanks very much for the responses, sorry I've not been able to look at this recently!

Hi Andre, that helped me a bundle, I've modified your modified code to get the output I was hoping for. I definitely wanted to plot the MEAN1 variable against PCTPTNUM for the 4 different GRP values, which should get rid of the character warning and give a standard curve plot and not vertical lines.

curve well check the manual at
http://support.sas.com/onlinedoc/913/getDoc/fr/graphref.hlp/symbolchap.htm
to understand the mathematical underground around interpolling

or/and take a look at other possibilities

by default in ods rtf destination the device is SASEMF in 9.1.3
and EMF (vectorial) in 9.2
PNG has limits and provoke here warnings about the dimension

Thank you.

One last problem with this graph, the label 'Placebo Day -12' is too long for the legend box and is running outside the frame, is there anyway to directly change the dimensions of the legend box?

Re: Graph Margins/Font

Andre — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 10:50:28 GMT

Height is the only way i think
as the legend is an automatic process
where the frame has no dimension parameters
except origin and offset for placement
without dimension
