Hi all

I have a small query for you all related to exporting Univariate histogram (in my case) as gif. 

In SAS 9.2, I use to do something like :

 

filename grafout "&dirout\mygraph.gif" ;
goptions gsfname=grafout gsfmode=replace device=gif ;
title1 f=swissb h=1.3 "my super graph" ;
proc univariate data = test noprint ;
histogram var1/cfill = steel ;
inset n mean std min max ;
where var1ne . ; run ; quit ;

 

In SAS 9.4, that doesn't seem to work anymore. I read somewhere that SAS 9.4 ha a default HTML output. Is that right? if so can I 'disable' it and go back to my old way? or is there a more efficient way with SAS 9.4?

PS: I am not using SAS Enterprise.

Thanks

Try turning ODS graphics off. 

 

ODS GRAPHICS OFF;

filename grafout "&dirout\mygraph.gif" ;

goptions gsfname=grafout gsfmode=replace device=gif ;

title1 f=swissb h=1.3 "my super graph" ;

proc univariate data = sashelp.class noprint ;
  histogram age /cfill = steel ;
  inset n mean std min max ;
  where age ne . ; 
run ; 

 

From the PROC UNIVARIATE documentation:

 

The UNIVARIATE procedure supports two kinds of graphical output.

  • ODS Statistical Graphics output is produced if ODS Graphics is enabled, for example by specifying the ODS GRAPHICS ON statement prior to the PROC statement.

  • Otherwise, traditional graphics are produced if SAS/GRAPH® is licensed.
