ODS HTML- screen resolution

EzPaste — Thu, 22 Aug 2013 07:42:07 GMT

Hello,

I'm using ODS html to produce completely static html reports ( text/tables/images) that a manager access through a link ( sample link )

The problem is that each manager uses a different laptop/desktop screen size/resolution and what happens is that on smaller sizes/resolution the report tends to badly overflow the screen edges

Any idea for a non expert related web issues?

Thanks

Abe

With SAS/Graph, the only 2 solutions I see are ...

1) Create the graphs so they will fit on the smallest screen.

2) Create multiple versions of the reports, to accommodate different screen sizes.

Would another export format such as PDF or RTF be acceptable? Those folks should be used to viewing other files than html that don't try to scale as much auotmatically.

I'm not sure of your SAS version, but a great solution for your situation is to generate the output as SVG in the HTML page instead of an image. That way, the contents will resize to the size of the browser container. Here is a simple example for you to try:

ods html file="test.html";

ods graphics / imagefmt=svg;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;

vbar age;

run;

ods html close;

Hope this helps!

Hi,

I am facing an issue with the svg format. Axis seems to start always at 0 no mater the min and max axis statement (sgplot); For many situations , it is not practical. Any idea?

Thanks again

Abe

This is not a function of svg -- it is probably just a minor coding issue. Can you send a snippet of code showing the graph you are trying to create?

Thanks!

Here it is. Thanks!

It is harder to diagnose without some data. The code wants to find good round numbers for the axis. Adding a XAXIS VALUES option that includes your min and max values and other values helped with sashelp.cars.

I've tried also with sashelp.class but continue to get the below image

ods html file="c:/test.html" gpath="c:/graphs";

ods graphics / imagefmt=svg;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;

hbar name/ STAT= mean group=sex response=Weight groupdisplay=cluster DATALABEL transparency=0.1 nooutline name="MYCHART" barwidth=1;

xaxis min=40;

proc print data=sashelp.class;;

run;

ods html close;

Re: ODS HTML- screen resolution

Jay54 — Sat, 24 Aug 2013 19:04:48 GMT

This is correct. X axis min is 40. There is no tick and value at '40' because the computed tick interval is 25. You can change that by setting the VALUES option. Note VALUESHINT option.

hbar name/ STAT= mean group=sex response=Weight

groupdisplay=cluster DATALABEL transparency=0.1 nooutline barwidth=1;

xaxis min=40 values=(40 to 150 by 20) valueshint;

run;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;

I use your code but continue to get the incorrect chart on sas 9.3

Any clue?

Jay54 — Sun, 25 Aug 2013 14:56:46 GMT

I just used your code and changed the XAXIS statement. Also, the image you attached has a weird bar color extending to underneath the tick values on the Y axis. I don't know what is causing that. It is easier to help if you include your full program with code and data.

That code worked for me on SAS 9.3 on Unix. I took out the PROC PRINT but added a RUN to close the PROC SGPLOT.

What browser are you using?
