Usage Note 24204: I have created a tree diagram with the tree node in the SAS Enterprise Miner 4.x series. How can I print this tree diagram on one page?
 |  |  |  |
The best way to print a tree diagram from SAS Enterprise Miner on one page is to export it to a file, insert it into Microsoft PowerPoint or Microsoft Word, and print it from there. Within the Microsoft applications you will have more options for printing and sizing.
- Select File->Print->Print Setup. If the device is selected as (host specified), you cannot change the printer. You need to cancel and select File->Print. After the file prints, select File->Print Setup again. This step is not required in SAS Enterprise Miner 4.1.
- Select the Description box.
- Select Export as the type.
- From the Export printer menu, select EMF as the file type.
- Click OK to print the output. This will store the file as sasgraph.emf in the SAS directory.
- Open a blank Microsoft PowerPoint slide.
- Select Insert Picture and select FROM FILE.
- Select the sasgraph.emf file and insert it into the blank slide or into the document.
You get much better results when you print with the New Tree Viewer. The New Tree Viewer is included with SAS Enterprise Miner 4.3. If you are running SAS Enterprise Miner 4.1, you can download this new viewer from the following link:
SAS Enterprise Miner Tree Results Viewer DownloadNote: Be sure to check the "Readme" file that is associated with the download for more information about using this tool.
In order to make the new viewer available in your SAS Enterprise Miner 4.1 session, submit the following statement in the SAS Program Editor:
%let emv4tree=1;
After this statement is submitted, you should see the "New View" option when you right-click a tree node.
If the standard printing from the new view still doesn't generate the output in a readable format, use the following steps to copy this output and print it by using another application, such as Microsoft PowerPoint.
- Copy the tree by selecting Edit->Copy.
- Open Microsoft PowerPoint. (You can also use Microsoft Paint.)
- Paste the tree into a blank page by selecting Edit->Paste.
- Now you can save that image as a JPEG or in another bitmap file format, or you can print it.
