Save Graph Output

To save graph output:
  1. Select Filethen selectSave As from the menu.
  2. Select the directory where you want the graph to be saved. The default location is the current directory for the SAS program that generated the SGE file.
  3. Select the type of file to save.
    • If you save the file in SGE format, then you can later reopen and edit the file.
    • If you save the file in PNG format, then the graph is saved as a flat image. The graph in this format cannot be edited, though it can be annotated.
      You can change the resolution by modifying the dots per inches (DPI). Changing the DPI affects only the image. The actual graph continues to display with 100 DPI.
      If you specify a DPI larger than 100, the graph image is resized. Any annotation that is not attached to the data retains its original position after the layout changes. For an example that illustrates this behavior, see Example: Annotation Positioned Over a Legend in a Graph That Is Resized. (For more information about attachment to data, see Understanding Annotation Objects and Data.)
      The maximum value that you can specify is 300 DPI. If you want to obtain a higher resolution, you can render the SGE file using the SGRENDER procedure and specify a DPI value in an ODS statement. For more information about the SGRENDER procedure, see SAS ODS Graphics: Procedures Guide.
  4. Enter the name of the graph in the File name field.
  5. Click Save.
The Save operation does not affect the graph output in the Results window in SAS.
