Subject:      Large, Fixed Size Graphics Output Under Windows
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hello,

Having a problem with SAS/Graph output under Windows.  Need to produce a plot with the axis dimensions at a relatively large, specific size, say exactly 6 inches by 30 inches for example.  These limits are well within the capabilities of both Windows and my hardcopy output device.  Previously (10 years ago), I was able to accomplish this feat, but now I can't seem to figure out how I managed it.  The winprtc gdevice now appears to have a hardcoded limit that won't allow the vertical axis length to be specified greater than about 7 inches, and that device appears to ignore all of my attempts to override the size by using the hsize, vsize, xmax, ymax, and/or papersize options.  I'm considering creating a customized version of the winprtc gdevice entry with larger size limits, but I don't know if that will work, and it doesn't seem like that ought to be necessary to simply print SAS/Graph output from Windows onto 11 x 17 inch paper, for example.  Surely I must be missing some simple solution.  Can someone out there help???

Thanks in advance,
s/KAM
