Modifying space between forestplot data

[Banke]

Hello everyone,

I have been trying to create a simple forest plot in SAS for my data. The ouptput looks good in my result viewer but its resolution is not great. I have tried severally to save it a picture format directly into my system but the space between the individual plots gets wider and the picture looks distorted. I have tried so many adjustments to the code such as changing the design height, the offsetmin and max but did not work.

I will appreciate your help. Also adding a label "higher mortality risk" and "lower mortality risk" did not work so I ran only the proc template to generate the result attached

Thank you

AS shown in my SAS result viewerWhen i save on my PC using ODS listing/************************************************************/
proc format;
  value unicodeLabel
    1 = "(*ESC*){unicode '2190'x} Lower mortality risk -"
    2 = "- Higher mortality risk (*ESC*){unicode '2192'x}"
  ; 
run;

data bottomLabel;
  attrib textLeft format=unicodeLabel.
          textRight format=unicodeLabel.;
  labXLeft = 0.9; labXRight= 1.1; labY = 27; textLeft = 1; textRight = 2;
  output;

I have moved this topic to 'Graphics Programming' board.

This is indeed visual analytics ( or visual analysis strictly speaking )

, but it has nothing to do with the SAS product Visual Analytics.

Thank you very much for the clarification🙈 and for moving it to the right section

[GraphGuy]

Are you running the code in SAS Studio, Enterprise Guide, DMS SAS, other?

Per the 'resolution', have you tried increasing where you're using image_dpi=200 ?

[Banke]

I'm running the program on SAS 9.4 windows. I tried modifying the resolution and size, but it was still the same.

Thank you
