44973 - Use PROC GREPLAY to place six graphs on a single page in a PDF document

Sample 44973: Use PROC GREPLAY to place six graphs on a single page in a PDF document

The sample code below starts off by using PROC GCHART to write six bar charts to the default SAS/GRAPH® catalog of WORK.GSEG.

The final step in the code uses PROC GREPLAY with the ODS PDF statement to write all six graphs to a single page in the PDF document. The sample code uses the TDEF statement within PROC GREPLAY to define a custom six-panel template.

Note that the sample code uses one set of graphics options when creating the six original graphs but then uses a second set of graphics options when using GREPLAY to create the final PDF output.

The graphics output on the Results tab was produced using SAS® 9.2. Submitting the sample code with releases of SAS prior to SAS 9.2 might produce different results.
