Put multiple PROC SGPLOT outputs on the same page

sandyming — Mon, 23 Jun 2014 21:58:32 GMT

I was trying to use the following code from 41461 - Put multiple PROC SGPLOT outputs on the same PDF page using PROC GREPLAY

The output page has four graphs, no space for overall titles/footnotes.

How can I put an overall title and footnote on top and bottom?

Thanks for your help,

Sandy

YOu might look into tagsets.HTMLPanel It allows defining percent of area for each graph displayed if you have a way to convert HTML to PDF.

Or you need to make a custom template instead of using the L2R2 template. I haven't bothered with the syntax for a long time but its basically a set of coordinates as percent of display area. So make one area across the top, the four cells for the charts and and 6th area at the bottom. You'll need to create your Title and Footnote for gslide as well. You can have the areas overlap by coordinates.

There are examples in the online help under Greplay template code.

Note: Changing the aspect ration in the graph cells may distort appearance.

Below is the setup I use for my title page utilizing PROC GSLIDE... This definitely works with the PROC GREPLAY combination with PROC GCHART output. I am still exploring the options to incorporate PROC SGPLOT output into my PROC GREPLAY setup.

Good luck...

James

goptions noborder;

data titlanno;

length function

color $8

style $12

position $1

text $50

html $100;

xsys = '3';

ysys = '3';

hsys = '3';

when = 'a';

/* Annotate title text at top of page */

function = 'label';

style = "&font";

y = 97.0; x = 0.5; position = '6'; color = "&browntext"; size = 2.5; text = 'Main Title 1'; output;

y = 94.5; x = 16.5; position = '6'; color = "&browntext"; size = 2.5; text = 'Main Title 2'; output;

/* y = 95.8; x = 32.0; position = '6'; color = "&graytext"; size = 1.7; text = 'SPARE SUB-TITLE SECTION 1'; output; */

/* y = 95.8; x = 90; position = '4'; color = "&graytext"; size = 1.7; text = 'SPARE SUB-TITLE SECTION 2'; output; */

goptions xpixels = 1200

ypixels = 800;

title;

footnote;

proc gslide des = ""

name = "titles"

anno = titlanno;

For full SAS/GRAPH customization, you really want to go on the ANNOTATE and PROC GREPLAY path. I have developed a fully customized 6 chart data-driven dashboard with nested VBAR in one of the charts using the annotate facility within a PROC GCHART output. The graphing output is definitely less "spectacular" in comparison to the output from PROC SGPLOT but there is still plenty of potential to create some stunning charts within a dashboard template.

Anyway good luck...
