Export several shewhart charts to PDF files (on one page)

ChandlersKD — Tue, 08 Nov 2016 14:41:27 GMT

Hi,

i have little problem to format the output of the pdf file.

I used

ods pdf file to generate a pdf file

That works, but the problem now is that I want to fit those 3 chart on one page. I really would like to change size of those charts.

I already tried startpage=never, the log file tells me the statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order (Note I am using SAS 9.1).

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

BIG

THANKS

Hi,

Not sure what your using to create them, however with splot/graph template you can set gridded output to show multiple graphs on one page:

Or for GTL:

Set the size of graphs manually.

http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/statug/63033/HTML/default/viewer.htm#statug_odsgraph_sect034.htm

Look at column option on ODS PDF statement if you want side by side graphs.

I think startpage is correct but maybe not for 9.1 - that's old - about 15 yrs I think.

Post sample code code if you're having issues and the log if you're getting errors.

The first production release of GTL and SGPLOT was SAS 9.2.

You haven't tried to change the chart size. Please look at the link I posted.

Can you post your SAS version?

Run the following and see log

%put &sysver;

%put &sysvlong;

if you're really on SAS 9.1 you may not have options.
