SAS VA Geo Map Screen shot to get clarity

Ps8813 — Sat, 29 Dec 2018 16:19:21 GMT

Hello friends,

We have created geo bubble map of a city . Now requirement is to "print out" that city geo map with bubble in 3 feet * 4 feet page , but in the screenshot all bubbles are getting too close . If we are doing the zoom in , we are getting the clarity but screenshot can't accommodate full city . And if we zoom out clarity is not there.

Please suggest how can we get the huge "print out" with clarity.

Thank u!!!

Can you post zoomed and un-zoomed screenshots of your issue? Not sure what you mean by "print out" - use the VA print report option or something else?

My initial thoughts are that there is only so much detail a single screen will display. If you want to see the whole city AND all bubbles clearly a much bigger physical screen size would seem to be the obvious but not practical answer.

Hello,

It is not clear what you need to achieve. Will you print a huge image in a single 3 by 4 feet print using a plotter or some other sort of large format printer? Or will you tape up multiple sheets of paper together?

If this is a one-time thing, one approach would be to take multiple screenshots using the "save image" feature and print them all separately, or join them up in a image editor.

Can you specify what you mean by losing clarity? This may be a case where a screenshot is worth a thousand words to illustrate the problem you are dealing with.

If you could also let us know which version of VA you are using, that will help us help you.

Thanks,

Sam
