Convert SVG to PNG/PDF
Introduction One of my previous posted was a Shiny App that converts PDF to PNG/JPEG formats; similarly this App converts SVG to PNG/PDF formats. Since SVG is a vector based format, you can convert it to PNG in ‘any’ resolutions; the higher the chosen number of pixels, the higher the resolution. The App will indicate the source aspect ratio. ...

Embed Images in a PROC REPORT Table
Introduction Proc Report in SAS is well known for presenting static text tables; less so for its capability of presenting embed images. I think is because the lack of examples on its ‘full’ potential! A while ago I posted an example done with the flextable package in R and wonder how to do similar in SAS. The table below now is such an exampl...

Proc Report Header and Footer Lines
Introduction This is a deficit for those that work in clinical reporting will no doubt be familiar with. That is Proc Report in SAS does not automatically put in the top header and footer lines.

Proc Report RTF to PNG
Introduction Why would you do this? My last post shows an embedded image in an RTF format, produced from SAS Proc Report. A natural follow on question would be, can it be in PNG, since such reports are more useful in PNG than RTF. That is it’s easier to insert a PNG into other documents etc. We wish this process of creating the PNG to be reprod...
