SAS Graph / Figure Font not Changing

craig159753 — Tue, 13 Oct 2020 20:35:12 GMT

Hi,

I am trying produce a figure using Graphic Template Language (GLT), however no matter what I try the fonts are not changing.

This is the PROC TEMPLATE code:

proc template;
    define statgraph series;
        begingraph / designwidth=800px designheight=500px border=false;
            layout datalattice rowvar=severity  / headerborder=false
                                                  columnaxisopts=(label="Visit" labelattrs=(family="courier new" weight=bold)
                                                                  tickvalueattrs=(family="courier new"))
                                                  rowdatarange=union
                                                  rowaxisopts=(label="Mean" labelattrs=(family="courier new" weight=bold)
                                                               tickvalueattrs=(family="courier new"));

                ** Plot;
                layout prototype / cycleattrs=true;
                    seriesplot x=xvar y=mean / name="mean" group=treatment;
                endlayout;

                ** Legend;
                sidebar / align=bottom;        
                    discretelegend "mean" / border=false valueattrs=(family="courier new" weight=bold);
                endsidebar;

            endlayout;
        endgraph;
    end;
run;

I am setting the font for all components to Courier New yet once it runs and I open the output all components are using the Arial font. Any help? Sorry I cannot upload the actual output, but the log is also clean.

This is the code used to output the file:

ods _all_ close;
ods rtf file = "C:/Myfile.rtf" style=custom_style;
ods graphics on / imagefmt = png;

    proc sgrender
        data = mydataset
        template = series;
        by myvariable;
    run;

ods rtf close;
ods listing;

You did not provide any data so I can't test this.

I would suggest that you test the case of your font that matches the name that appears installed on your system, likely "Courier New" instead of "courier new".

Sadly I cannot provide the data (which I know is not helpful). However I can describe it.

X axis represents some visits.
Y axis represents the mean result.
Group is a categorical variable.
Column variable (for the grouped outputs) is another categorical variable.
Page variable can be any further categorical variable.

Page, Column, Group, Y, X
A, FIRST, DRUG A, 11, VISIT 1
A, FIRST, DRUG B, 14, VISIT 2
A, LAST, DRUG A,13, VISIT 1
A, LAST, DRUG B, 12, VISIT 2

The casing on a windows machine is not usually an issue. I have already produce some odd rtf tables using courier new without an issue. It seems only the figures are not playing ball.

I'm hoping you found a solution because I am having the same issue, but with Proc Template. Font Styles are set to courier new but graph text shows up as something resembling Arial.

proc template;
  define style sty1 / store=metadata.sty1;
  parent=styles.rtf;

  replace fonts/
    'TitleFont2'              = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt)
    'TitleFont'               = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt)
    'StrongFont'              = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt)
    'EmphasisFont'            = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt)
    'FixedEmphasisFont'       = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt)
    'FixedStrongFont'         = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt)
    'FixedHeadingFont'        = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt)
    'BatchFixedFont'          = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt)
    'HeadingEmphasisFont'     = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt)
    'HeadingFont'             = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt)
    'FixedFont'               = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt)
    'docFont'                 = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt)

    ;
 style graphfonts from graphfonts / 
      'GraphDataFont'         = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt) 
      'GraphUnicodeFont'      = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt) 
      'GraphValueFont'        = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt) 
      'GraphLabel2Font'       = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt) 
      'GraphLabelFont'        = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt) 
      'GraphFootnoteFont'     = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt) 
      'GraphTitleFont'        = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt) 
      'GraphTitle1Font'       = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt) 
      'GraphAnnoFont'         = ("Courier New, Courier",8pt)
    ;
end;
run;
