GTL: problem with MARKERSIZERESPONSE and IMAGE_DPI

Minki — Mon, 20 Nov 2017 12:17:45 GMT

With the following (example) code a picture is created which looks fine if using IMAGE_DPI=100 in the ODS LISTING (see graph1.pdf). But if using IMAGE_DPI=1200 (what is needed by customer) the symbols are displayed in a very light shade (nearly invisible) which could not be acceptable (see graph2.pdf). Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks for any ideas or hints!

SAS code:

data test;

input avg diff sgrpdc count_score;

cards;

2 0 1 1

5 -1 1 1

12 2.5 1 2

18 1.2 1 1

20 -3 1 3

20 -1 1 1

23 3.5 1 2

25 -4 1 1

27 2.1 1 2

33 0.4 1 4

3 1.1 2 1

6 -1 2 2

12 0.5 2 1

15 -1.2 2 2

18 -3 2 1

20 -1 2 1

24 0.5 2 1

26 -4 2 1

Hi @Minki

I can reproduce the behaviour you reported on my side but unfortunately I did not find a solution for you (using weight=bold, etc.).

You may want to discuss that one with your SAS Technical Support.

Sorry

Cheers,
Damo
