The GPRINT Procedure

Example 2: Adjusting the Size of Characters

Procedure features:

GPRINT statement options:

FILEREF=

Other features:

FILENAME statement

GOPTIONS statement

PRINT procedure

PRINTTO procedure

Data set:

REFLIB.DOWHLC

Sample library member:

GR22N02

This example creates a graph from a text file and increases the size of the text. The first part of this example uses the PRINT procedure to create an external file that contains SAS output. The GPRINT procedure is used to import the text file into a graph. Because the LINESIZE= option (columns) is set to 76 and the PAGESIZE= option (rows) is set to 24, the output is small and occupies only a portion of the page, as shown in GPRINT Procedure Output with No Adjustments (GR22N02(a)):

In the second part of this example, the number of columns and rows in the graphics output area is reduced with the HPOS= and VPOS= graphic options. Thus, the size of the characters in the graph increase, as shown in GPRINT Procedure Output with Adjusted Sizing (GR22N02(b)):
