title get cut off while creating a graph by sgpanel

cnloach — Fri, 14 Dec 2018 05:43:46 GMT

any clues why the title has been cut off by the code below?

title "Time to First Event";

ods graphics on/noborder;

ods rtf file = "C:\Users\q\Desktop\figure 1.rtf";

proc sgpanel data=adtte7 noautolegend;

panelby trt01p / spacing=15 novarname;
colaxis label ="Days";
rowaxis label ="Subject ID" display=(NOTICKS);

series x=aval0 y=subjid_r/group=subjid_r
lineattrs=(color=black pattern=solid thickness = 2)
;
scatter x=ttcvd y=subjid_r/name = 'a'
markerattrs=(color=red symbol=circlefilled size=15)
;
scatter x=ttmi y=subjid_r/name = 'b'
markerattrs=(color=yellow symbol=diamondfilled size=15)
;
scatter x=ttreva y=subjid_r/name = 'c'
markerattrs=(color=purple symbol=trianglefilled size=15)
;
scatter x=tthua y=subjid_r/name = 'd'
markerattrs=(color=green symbol=squarefilled size=15)
;
scatter x=ttstr y=subjid_r/name = 'e'
markerattrs=(color=blue symbol=starfilled size=15)
;

keylegend 'a' 'b' 'c' 'd' 'e';

run;

Probably because the title is being placed in the body of the graph, and the space allocated is not wide enough. Avoid putting titles in the body of the graph, and use the titles area with:

ods rtf file = "C:\Users\q\Desktop\figure 1.rtf" nogtitle nogfootnote;

Thanks RW9! This works but if I do want to put the title in the body of the graph, how may I allocate the space? Appending some space seems a temp solution but is there a wise way?

I have a hunch. Try your original code with the embedded title, but add this line before the PROC SGPANEL:

ods graphics / imagefmt=png;

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks!
Dan
