Sometimes, a spell-checker just isn't enough:

Hopefully, we'll hear from a GTL expert.

Ya,

You should be able to use color to suppress symbols and lines.  GTL may offer a more sophisticated way to accomplish what the symbol statement's interpol option does.  Hopefully, we'll here from a GTL expert.

Thanks Randy,

I'll give it a try. For the symbol controlled by style, is it possible to do something like i=none in traditionally symbol statement? I need to control the symbol, sometimes I need symbol only, sometimes, I need to connect them (i=none or i=j, i=r etc.).

Ya,

You can try the ODS PDF statement's DPI option to increase the dpi. According to the documentation, the default is 150.

For the symbols:

1) See PROC SGPLOT's MARKERATTRS option.
2) Create or modify a style template.  Here's a piece of code from the sasweb template:

   style GraphDataDefault from GraphComponent /
         endcolor = GraphColors('gramp3cend')
         neutralcolor = GraphColors('gramp3cneutral')
         startcolor = GraphColors('gramp3cstart')
         markersize = 7px
         markersymbol = "circle"
         linethickness = 1px
         linestyle = 1
         contrastcolor = GraphColors('gcdata')
         color = GraphColors('gdata');
      style GraphData1 from GraphComponent /
         markersymbol = "circle"
         linestyle = 1
         contrastcolor = GraphColors('gcdata1')
         color = GraphColors('gdata1');
      style GraphData2 from GraphComponent /
         markersymbol = "plus"
         linestyle = 4
         contrastcolor = GraphColors('gcdata2')
         color = GraphColors('gdata2');

3)   Use GTL tp roll your own graph.    Here's a piece of code from a
GTL program that includes a scatter plot:

scatterplot x=LABELVAL y=VAR / markercharacter=SEG2 group=SEG
                               markercharacterattrs=(size=18pt color=black);

In this case, the marker character and group are data set variables.

Thanks Randy,

I suspected that is the case when I read the paper 043-2009 (SGF), where all samples used sgplot instead of gplot. I just tried sgplot for the testing code and got good output. But it is not good enough yet, for that the resolution of the picture is much lower than sasprtc can offer, also I lost all the controls for symbols (maybe there is way, but I don't know yet).

I'm kind stuck here. My old programs for v8 based on startpage control won't work anymore. Tried the new "pre-production" ods layout, also has some limitation :-(
