How can I manage SUBPIXEL for different Template

zahir — Wed, 31 May 2017 07:56:59 GMT

I am using SAS 9.4 L1M3, I came to know that SUBPIXEL rendering is by default ON for some plot statement like ScatterPlot.

I want to make it OFF for all template and then want to make it enable when necessary, this is why I tried following way;

ODS GRAPHICS ON /RESET=all SUBPIXEL=OFF ANTIALIAS=ON ; 

*Grouping a Scatter Plot with yaxis dropline;
PROC TEMPLATE;
define statgraph dropline1;
begingraph ;
EntryTitle "Grouping a Scatter Plot with yaxis dropline" /;
layout overlay ;
   ScatterPlot X=Height Y=Weight / subpixel=on primary=true Group=Sex LegendLabel="Weight" NAME="SCATTER";
   Dropline X=70 Y=120 / clip=true DropTo=y Lineattrs=GRAPHDATA2;
   DiscreteLegend "SCATTER"/ title="Sex";
endlayout;
endgraph;
end;
RUN;

PROC SGRENDER DATA=sashelp.class TEMPLATE=dropline1;
RUN;

But its not working and Log getting following error message;

94 ODS GRAPHICS ON /RESET=all SUBPIXEL=OFF ANTIALIAS=ON ;
95
96 *Grouping a Scatter Plot with yaxis dropline;
97 PROC TEMPLATE;
98 define statgraph dropline1;
99 begingraph ;
100 EntryTitle "Grouping a Scatter Plot with yaxis dropline" /;
101 layout overlay ;
102 ScatterPlot X=Height Y=Weight / subpixel=on primary=true Group=Sex

102! LegendLabel="Weight" NAME="SCATTER";

103 Dropline X=70 Y=120 / clip=true DropTo=y Lineattrs=GRAPHDATA2;
104 DiscreteLegend "SCATTER"/ title="Sex";
105 endlayout;
106 endgraph;
107 end;

108 RUN;
NOTE: PROCEDURE TEMPLATE used (Total process time):

Can you please tell me how can I resolve this?, or, Could you please let me know if there have any other thing.

AUTO

The system sets subpixel rendering OFF for this scatter plot, unless SUBPIXEL=ON is specified in the BEGINGRAPH statement or in an ODS GRAPHICS statement. In that case, subpixel rendering is ON for this scatter plot.

OFF

disables subpixel rendering for image output only for this scatter plot.

Sorry, but it is not designed the way you want. You can enable it in general (generarlly a good thing) and disable it for a graph component that is expensive,

Thank you very much. So, if we use subpixel option with inline gtl plot statement then we can only make it off from there, isn't it?
