Saving plots in a pdf file with a 3x3 layout format

ctisseuil — Mon, 26 Apr 2021 14:27:43 GMT

Hi,

I do not manage to save my plots in a pdf file with 3x3 layout format.

It is working fine with `ods graphics` but not with `ods pdf`.

Here is a simple example.

%macro plot_hist;
%do i=1 %to 9;

data sample (keep=age);
 do i = 1 to 100;
   age = abs (floor (rand('triangle',0.1) * 100 ) );
   output;
 end;
run;

ods region;
proc sgplot data=sample;
 HISTOGRAM age / binwidth=1 binstart=0 ;
 TITLE "Age";
 xaxis values=(0 to 100 by 1) offsetmin=.01 offsetmax=.01 ;
RUN; 
%end;
%mend;

ods pdf file="&DIR_RES\desc_histo.pdf";
/*ods graphics / width=1000px height=400px;*/
ods layout start rows=3 columns=3;
%plot_hist
ods layout end;
ods _all_ close;

Thanks for your assistance

Please refer to this section to adjust the graph size of sgplot.

For example, try the following code.

ods graphics on / width=2in;
ods graphics on / height=2in;
