Hello,
I am trying to create a pdf with 2 elements on each sheet: 1 sgplot and 1 proc print (small table), however as a result I always get the text in the graph (axis labels and title) compressed on itself, which is ugly.
I tried multiple things (resizing with ods graphic etc.) but really still don't know what I am doing wrong...
Thanks in advance for your help.
ods _all_ close;
ods escapechar = '^';
options orientation=landscape center pageno=1 nodate LEFTMARGIN=0.25in RIGHTMARGIN=0.25in TOPMARGIN=0.25in BOTTOMMARGIN=0.25in papersize=A4;
ods pdf file="whicheverpath/data.pdf" notoc startpage=never dpi=200;
ods pdf startpage=now;
proc odstext;
title "testtitle";
run;
ods layout start columns=2;
ods region column=1;
proc sgplot data=TABLE ;
series x=MONTH y=INDIC / lineattrs=(color=blue);
xaxis type=discrete valueattrs=(size=7pt) grid;
YAXIS DISPLAY=(NOLABEL) grid;

PROC PRINT DATA=TABLE noobs; run;
ods layout end;
ODS PDF CLOSE;
Can you add an image showing the compressed (squished or squashed) text ?
For instance, your code, run against SASHELP.AIR, does not exhibit any funky text renderings.
ods _all_ close;
ods escapechar = '^';
options orientation=landscape center pageno=1 nodate LEFTMARGIN=0.25in RIGHTMARGIN=0.25in TOPMARGIN=0.25in BOTTOMMARGIN=0.25in papersize=A4;
ods pdf file="2each.pdf" notoc startpage=never dpi=200;
ods pdf startpage=now;
proc odstext;
title "testtitle";
run;
ods layout start columns=2;
ods region column=1;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.air ;
series x=date y=air / lineattrs=(color=blue);
xaxis type=discrete valueattrs=(size=7pt) grid;
YAXIS DISPLAY=(NOLABEL) grid;
title;
where year(date)=1951;
run;
ods region column=2;
PROC PRINT DATA=sashelp.air noobs;
where year(date)=1951;
run;
ods layout end;

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
Even if in SAS itself the graph is shown with the right size, it is squished in the final PDF output, as you can see:
Hi,
your solution worked, however I had to couple it with something else, formatting the pictures into gifs:
ods graphics on / width=17cm height=13cm outputfmt=gif;
...
ods layout start columns=2;
ods region column=1 width=17cm height=13cm;
As a result my PDF is a lot bigger in size (maybe I can try other formats and see how it goes), but at least the proportions are now correct.
Thanks again for your help!
