Titles and footnote lengths restricted by goptions?

[ajaykumar1]

Hi,

     I am generating a plot using Proc GPLOT and am trying to restrict the graph frame so the axes are of the same scale.  However, this seems to have an effect on the length of my titles and footers.  How can I circumvent this problem?  Please advise.

GOPTIONS

XMAX=7.0 in
YMAX=7.0 in;

With GPLOT and the other device based graphic procedures there can be a significant amount of interaction between the plot options, axis statement settings or defaults such as FONT family and size of text or range of values shown plus offsets and such.

So to get a complete solution you may need to provide:

example data

ALL goptions in effect, including device

Axis statements or current defaults

The actual plot code

including titles and footnotes

and likely the destination.

You might want to consider moving to Proc SGPLOT as there is very little additional support going into the device based graphics procedures.

"How can I circumvent this problem?" - move to sgplot and graph template language.
