Greplay Template- size controlling

[tal83]

Hi:)
When I use Greplay to display few graph in one template - it doesn't look good.(It's horizontal size is about twice the vertical size. i want the vsize to be about 0.75 of the hsize-BTW, its very complicated to explain how my graph look, without adding a picture 🙂 )
I tried to use hsize&vsize options on the 2 graphs i want to display later on, but it doesn't seem to affect anything ( The graph i create are the size i want, but not when i replay them together in a template). I also tried to use this options before replaying the graph, but again seems like the option is ignored.


Thanks in advance!

Hi:
Is it a typo that you preview v3s, but replay into v2s???? Did you want v3s or v2s???

You can always design your own greplay template by specifying the X/Y coordinates of the replay "areas", but unless you are doing a "one for one" template, of necessity, your original graphs are scaled to fit inside the template areas. In my experience, it's more important to create the original graphs in the correct orientation (landscape vs portrait) if I'm using GREPLAY. If I create them in any particular size, I create them very close to the size that they're going to be in the final GREPLAY template.

For example, if you were going to use a 4-up template like the one shown on this page:
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/graphref/61884/HTML/default/greplay-overview.htm

It will work best for the replay if the original 4 templates are in a landscape orientation so they scale appropriately for the landscape 4-up greplay template.

And as it explains here:
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/graphref/61884/HTML/default/greplay-concepts.htm

Sizing and Naming Your Graphs for Replay (Best Practice)

To replay your graphics output using the GREPLAY procedure, it is recommended that you do the following:

Select or create a template to replay your graphs. Determine the size of each panel contained in the template. Define the size of each graph to correspond to the size of a panel contained in the template. Size each graph with GOPTIONS such as the XPIXELS= and YPIXELS= options or the HSIZE= and VSIZE= options. If the graphs that you are replaying are too large for the panels in the template, SAS/GRAPH attempts to resize the images.



Here are some useful papers on using GREPLAY:

Thanks!
The preview was only to display the list of the template options.
I had no idea that I could create my own template. Thanks, I'm studying this now- and i'll try tofix my problem later on.
