Proc sgplot and graph fonts

[crisgugiu]

Hi all,

I have somewhat of a time-sensitive question. I am trying to produce a professional graph to include in a report. I almost have the graph looking as I want but the fonts are terrible. I would like to use Garamond bold for the title and Garamond regular for the figures in the graph. I've been told that Proc template is the way to do this. However, I don't know it and its numerous options are a bit of a pain to navigate. I was wondering if someone could take a look at the code below and make a few recomendations for how to change the font type from the default. I've attached a short data file.

best,

Cristian

Try this before your code and see if it works for you.

proc template;
define style styles.garamond;
parent=styles.listing; /* Or your favorite style */

style graphfonts from graphfonts / 
      'GraphDataFont' = ("Garamond, <MTsans-serif>",7pt)               
      'GraphUnicodeFont' = ("<MTsans-serif-unicode>",9pt)                  
      'GraphValueFont' = ("Garamond, <MTsans-serif>",9pt)              
      'GraphLabel2Font' = ("Garamond, <MTsans-serif>",10pt)            
      'GraphLabelFont' = ("Garamond, <MTsans-serif>",10pt)             
      'GraphFootnoteFont' = ("Garamond, <MTsans-serif>",10pt)          
      'GraphTitleFont' = ("Garamond, <MTsans-serif>",11pt,bold)        
      'GraphTitle1Font' = ("Garamond, <MTsans-serif>",14pt,bold)       
      'GraphAnnoFont' = ("Garamond, <MTsans-serif>",10pt);             
end;
run;

ods listing style=garamond;
