height and width of the wall space?

xxformat_com — Tue, 25 Jun 2024 18:49:51 GMT

Hi,

it is possible to define the height and width of the graph image using the ods graphics statement.

But I could not find an option to define the height and width of the wall space.

It is possible with proc sgplot and/or proc template?

Cheers

Like this?

ods graphics on / height=300px width=300px; * Choose another unit if needed;

I'm ok with defining new values. I would like to know how to idenfity the default values.

I've found the answer:

Height:

The value of the SAS registry entry "ODS > ODS GRAPHICS > Design Height" or the value of the DesignHeight= option in a STATGRAPH template. Typically, the value is 480px.

@xxformat_com , this will not do what you want. the DESiGNWIDTH/DESIGNHEIGHT are used to establish the default dimensions of the entire graph, not the wall area. By default, the width/height on the ODS GRAPHICS statement are set to the to the DESIGNWIDTH/DESIGNHEIGHT. If you override width/height on the ODS GRAPHICS statement, we use the difference between DESIGNWIDTH/DESIGNHEIGHT and width/height to set certain scaling factors for the final output.

In GTL, you can change the DESIGNWIDTH/DESIGNHEIGHT directly inside of a template to enforce a different default width/height for the graph. This can be desirable for certain types of layouts.
