How to show Barline/Plot and GChart on single PDF - ActiveX control issue

[tparvaiz]

Hi,

I am trying to put a logo and 2 graphs (Barline/Plot and GChart) on a single PDF file... my issue is with the PDF output, both graphs are showing up okay on HTML view...

Issue 1) When I run the below code my first graph, Barline/Plot shows only Barline graph and not the plot...second graph, using GChart, looks okay... my logo do not appear as well... I've also attached my log chunk for your reference that shows some issues related to ActiveX control.

Issue 2) when I run the same code with  goptions reset=all; then my Barline/Plot shows fine but it distrots my second chat and still I don't get my logo

Issue 3) when I use ODS layout with options reset=all; only then I get to see my logo as well as my barline/GChart, but still my second chart is distorted (removing formatting)

Please advice

Here are my log chunks

In what way is your second graph distorted under your scenario 3? What formatting is removed?

Try renaming the AXIS statements for the second graph as AXIS4 through AXIS6 and modify the references to match and see if that changes anything.

Hi ballardw,

I've tried to rename the Axis statement but it didn't worked...

Thanks

[ballardw]

Since your axis labels don't quite match what appears in the AXIS statements there's something else going on.

I would suggest running PROC GOPTIONS AXIS;RUN; to see what your actual axis definitions are after each graph.

[tparvaiz]

My Axis seems to be fine... I changed the code a bit when I posted here but used actual graphs, that might be causing the confusion...

Here are my sample tables... you may try to run it @ your end to see if you can replicate the same errors...

Hi:

  If you have an urgent or immediate need, your best resource is to open a track with Tech Support. Look for the links in the forum system that say "Submit a problem report", in order to open a track with Tech Support. (There should be a link at the bottom of the viewing page).
