How to export picture of decision tree?

sierragb — Sun, 11 Feb 2024 18:06:23 GMT

I am using SAS Viya for Learners and this is my first time using SAS. I have created a Decision Tree within SAS Visual Analytics - Explore and Visualize. It gives me 4 visuals but I just want to export a picture of the decision tree. I can export the entire view with all of the visuals but I can't seem to export just the tree itself (in the screenshot it is outlined in red). Is there a way to do so?

I do not think you can isolate just the decision tree using the Save Image or Print Object options in Visual Analytics. I would suggest using a screenshot tool such as Snipping Tool to take a screenshot of just the decision tree, or you can use the Save Image option and then crop the image to remove the other visuals.

@sierragb - One other thing I discovered that you could try. In the Options for the decision tree, under Model Display, change the layout to Stack.

This will place the 4 visuals into a stack container, which shows them each individually rather than all in one shot. If you do this and then select Save Image, it will show only the decision tree (or whichever visual you have displayed in the stack at the time).

Note that it will include the labels/tabs for switching between the visuals in the stack, but it still only focuses on one object at a time.

Example:
