Modifying space between forestplot data

Banke — Fri, 03 Jun 2022 20:41:45 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have been trying to create a simple forest plot in SAS for my data. The ouptput looks good in my result viewer but its resolution is not great. I have tried severally to save it a picture format directly into my system but the space between the individual plots gets wider and the picture looks distorted. I have tried so many adjustments to the code such as changing the design height, the offsetmin and max but did not work.

I will appreciate your help. Also adding a label "higher mortality risk" and "lower mortality risk" did not work so I ran only the proc template to generate the result attached

Thank you

AS shown in my SAS result viewerWhen i save on my PC using ODS listing/************************************************************/
proc format;
  value unicodeLabel
    1 = "(*ESC*){unicode '2190'x} Lower mortality risk -"
    2 = "- Higher mortality risk (*ESC*){unicode '2192'x}"
  ; 
run;

data bottomLabel;
  attrib textLeft format=unicodeLabel.
          textRight format=unicodeLabel.;
  labXLeft = 0.9; labXRight= 1.1; labY = 27; textLeft = 1; textRight = 2;
  output;

I have moved this topic to 'Graphics Programming' board.

This is indeed visual analytics ( or visual analysis strictly speaking )

, but it has nothing to do with the SAS product Visual Analytics.

Thank you very much for the clarification🙈 and for moving it to the right section

Are you running the code in SAS Studio, Enterprise Guide, DMS SAS, other?

Per the 'resolution', have you tried increasing where you're using image_dpi=200 ?

I'm running the program on SAS 9.4 windows. I tried modifying the resolution and size, but it was still the same.

Thank you
