How can I make the formatting of a graph sent in an email look the same as it does in ods output?

Hungry2Learn — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 15:34:09 GMT

For reference, I'm using Studio 3.5.

I'm creating my graph using this code

ods graphics / imagefmt=png imagename='DemoPNG';
proc sgplot data=work.dummytable (where=(yvar_name > 0));
	scatter x=xvar_name y=yvar_name / group=category_name markerattrs=(size=5);
	xaxis grid;
	yaxis grid type=log;
run;
ods graphics on / reset=all;

Which provides me with this graph in the results tab

And this graph in the DemoPNG.png file

Then I send the email using the following code

filename send email to=('first.last@company.com')
    subject='Graph Report'
    attach=('DemoPNG.png' NAME='GraphImage' INLINED='inserter')
    content_type='text/html';

data _null_;
    file send;
    put '<IMG src="cid:inserter" height="500" width="800">';
run;

I'd like to have the DemoPNG graph look like what's displayed in results but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do so. Thanks in advance for the help!

Try this option :

ods graphics / attrpriority=color ;

I gave this a shot, but sadly there was no change to the session png file or the embedded image.

Do you used this code to save your PGN image ?

ods listing /gpath='c:\temp' ;

Or @GraphGuy Robert.A know the solution .

So far I've just let the files go to my working directory. I added a gpath statement though and the saved files are no different.

Perhaps try hard-coding an ods style (such as style=htmlblue).

Unfortunately, I think SAS defaults to different ods styles in different situations, rather than having the same default everywhere.
