Create and IMAGE file of output from PROC REPORT

data_null__ — Fri, 09 Jul 2021 20:54:16 GMT

Can I create output from PROC REPORT as an image (PNG). I want to annotate a figure (SGPLOT) with a small table of statistics, using IMAGE function seems like an easy way, but I also don't want to create the image file by hand. I don't think INSET or AXISTABLE are suitable that's why I think IMAGE would be nice.

Hi, looking at old SAS community posts, I do not believe that is possible. However, I believe that you could use the XAXISTABLE and YAXISTABLE statements in SGPLOT to produce the report that you want. If you have an example, I could help. You said that you will annotate in SGPLOT too, so it could be better to start from there aswell.

Otherwise, you could take a snippet or screenshot of the report and then save that, and then use that image with SGPLOT.

I believe if you put your proc report into the ods printer destination you can save the output to a png. Use options papersize as well to help control the size.
