The ODS GRAPHICS statement options HEIGHT= and WIDTH= can be used to control the size of output created by procedures that support ODS Graphics.

The HEIGHT= or WIDTH= options might be ignored in the ODS PDF destination. This is most likely to occur if many titles and footnotes are defined and the ODS PDF options NOGTITLE and/or NOGFOOTNOTE are in effect. No warning is generated. However, the image appears smaller than the specified height or width value. The problem can also occur with PROC SGRENDER if the default GTITLE and GFOOTNOTE options are in effect.

The sample code on the Full Code tab illustrates a workaround using ODS PDF TEXT=.
