SAS supports PNG.  Not only does it have great resolution, the compression
results in file sizes smaller than GIF, JPG, BMP.

Andrea,

From a sharing standpoint, see if you can publish them to a web folder and
simply point people to a website. That is the easiest. It is also easy to
set up a website if one isn't available.

I am not sure if SAS supports PNG format, but that is the best resolution.
If that fails, drop to JPG and use it instead. BMP is not good and GIF will
be distorted. I do not use SAS for graphics so my experience with how they d
it is limited.

Subject: How best to share graph output

I have a program that produces about 5 graphs for maybe three or four
attributes.  So I need to get about 15-20 graphs to a specific person.

I would like to use SAS to e-mail them as attachments, but I can't
figure out how to get PC SAS 9.1.3 to save them out to a file that I
could attach.  I'd rather have them all in one file, but separate would
be fine (might be better in case I have one case where I have too many
and would go over the attachment size limits)

So I know how to do proc printto to create text files, and how to attach
them, but I'm kind of stumped here.

I tried ODS to make HTML, but the graphs are not part of it, they are
GIFs that have to be sent along.  PDF seems to really distort the graph,
but maybe that's my best option.  (PS I'm still kind of new to ODS, so
if there is a book that spells it all out, just point me to it and I'll
RTFM)

I can use the Export image to save them as .bmps which actually look
pretty good.  But I don't know if I can get SAS to write them out as
.BMPS.

It's late and I'm rambling, but hopefully people will have ideas or
questions I can answer in the morning to get me headed in the right
direction.

Thanks all.
