Insert cgm graph into word

sandyming — Mon, 04 Aug 2014 21:10:45 GMT

I used the following code to insert graph into word. The inserted picture, shown in Word, was not resized (+220%). I tried changing device=png. the size was right but resolution was too low. Anyone has an idea how to improve?

put '[InsertPicture "'"&outdir\xx.cgm"'"]';

put '[Editgoto "g"]';

put '[CharRight 1,1]';

put '[Centerpara]';

put '[FormatPicture .scaleX="220%" .scaleY="220%"]';

put '[FileSaveAs .Name = "' "&outdir\xx..doc" '" .format=0]';

Thanks,

Sandy

I'm guessing this is a JMP question. You will have better luck with responses on the JMP forum.

I would guess that when you create the graph in PNG you didn't size it to the desired final size which is generally a better approach then using Word to rescale as then you get issues with resolution and fuzziness.

Look at ODS option IMAGE_DPI=dpi to change the resolution of your graph. - PG

Thanks for the reply. I did not use ODS statements in the code, though.

There are so many ways to do things in SAS! How did you get your graph?
