2 png graphs are output when only 1 was expected.

[JGS]

Version 9.4 (TS1M3)

Windows 10 64os

Hello: 

The output from prg. gives me 2 graphs .

One is sgplot.png and the 2nd is ods html file.png.

I am thinking that I should be just getting one graph.

Not sure why 2 graphs are being produces.

I would like to keep only the html file and I would like not to have to 

use the delete key for the other.

Thanks for you help.

This:

ods html file = "ChgDIABPvsbaseDia-base.png"

Creates an HTML file with a .png extension, not a PNG file. Change the extension to ".html". The sgplot.png is the real image file. If you want to change the image file name, use the following:

ods graphics / imagename="whatever";  /* Do NOT put an extension on "whatever". The correct extension will be added */

You can also add RESET=INDEX to reset the filename indexing and allow image files to be overwritten:

ods graphics / reset=index imagename="whatever"; 

Hope this helps!
