Increase font size in proc univariate histogram plot

[John Uebersax]

Hi Group,

Can anyone tell me a simple way to increase the font size for labels
and titles in histogram plots produced by proc univariate?

Here's my code:

proc univariate data = temp;
var count_p2;
histogram /lognormal (color=red);
run;

The documentation isn't exactly clear about this. Is it done via a
goptions statement?

More generally any tips about how to tweak options so histograms look
good when pasted into an MS Office document would be appreciated.

John,

You can do much of it with axis statements, as with GPLOT:

goptions reset=all htext=2;

axis1 length = 8 in origin=(2 in, 1.25 in) value=(h=2) label=(h=3);
axis2 length = 7 in value=(h=2) label=(h=3);

proc univariate data = temp;
var count_p2;
histogram /lognormal (color=red) haxis=axis1 vaxis=axis2;
TITLE1 h=3 "title";
INSET n (3.0) mean (5.2) median (5.2) std='Std Dev' (6.2) / pos = ne
header = 'Summary Statistics' cfill = ywh;
run;

I also usually add key summary stats somewhere that they will fit.

hi ... you can write directly to a GIF file then insert the file into WORD
using lotsa' pixels takes away some of the "raggedy bitmap stuff"


goptions reset=all
device=gif gsfname=gout xpixels=2000 ypixels=1500
ftext='calibri' htext=2 gunit=pct;

pattern1 v=s c=green;

filename gout 'z:\histo.gif';

title1 h=4 f='calibri/bo' 'HISTOGRAM: SASHELP.AIR' ls=2;
* some white space around the chart;
title2 a=90 ls=1;
title3 a=-90 ls=1;
footnote1 ls=1;

proc univariate data = sashelp.air noprint;
var air;
histogram;
run;
