When producing graphics output with the ODS PDF statement, the width of lines in the graph output might differ between SAS 9.2 and previous releases. Lines in SAS/GRAPH® output produced with the ODS PDF statement might be thicker and wider with SAS 9.2 when compared to output produced by releases of SAS prior to 9.2.

The lines are thicker with SAS 9.2 because graphics output produced by the ODS PDF statement defaults to a resolution of 150 dots per inch (DPI). Previous releases of SAS produce graphics output in PDF format with a default resolution of 300 DPI.

To produce 300 DPI graphics output with the ODS PDF statement with SAS 9.2, add the DPI=300 option to your ODS PDF statement. For example:
