The symbol in my SAS/Graph legend is tiny, almost invisible, though the text next to it is fine. How can I increase the size of the legend value without also increasing the size of the legend label?

My goptions are:

reset=all
device=gif
cback=white
ftext="Arial"
htext=11
gunit=pt
gsfname=SPlot

My symbol statement is:

symbol1 color=black value=circle height=5 interpol=none

My legend statement is:

across=3
down=3
position=bottom
label=('Group:') value=('Group 1')
shape=symbol(7,1)

The result is a very, very tiny black circle in the legend value, though the symbol on the graph is fine and the legend label is fine.

Thanks for any information you can provide.

I suspect your issue comes from:

shape=symbol(7,1)

The second parameter in the SHAPE option is height. I would start by using the same height as width (7) to provide a square space for the symbol.
