2. MICF Options › 2.5 Color Graphics Format Parameters
2.5 Color Graphics Format Parameters
Color graphics format parameters control the appearance of
color graphics, including color specifications, filled area
pattern definitions, connecting line types (for example,
straight or smooth curve), and specifications for the formats
of lines drawn on color graphics reports (for example, dotted
or solid). Color graphics format parameters can be specified
for each color graphics inquiry step by selecting the color
graphics format parameters option from the inquiry step's
extended options menu. The default values for parameters
relevant to the inquiry step being composed are displayed and
can be altered as required. The parameters displayed on the
color graphics format parameters panel for the inquiry step
will be applied when the inquiry is executed. The Color
Graphics Format Parameters process of MICF Options is used to
establish these default parameter values displayed on the
inquiry step's color graphics format parameters panel. These
values are also the parameter values applied to those inquiry
steps composed without overriding color graphics format
parameters (for example, the step's color graphics format
parameters panel is not displayed).
MICF includes the capability to retain multiple versions of
the color graphics format parameters. Each version, called a
color graphics format set, contains all the parameters
necessary to control graphics appearance. This facility
allows MICF inquiries to be composed for display on multiple,
unique color graphics devices, including devices with
incompatible characteristics. Four default color graphics
format sets are distributed with MICF. These format sets are
designed for displaying graphics on terminal devices
(TERMINAL color graphics format set), pen plotters (PENPLOT),
ink jet printers (INKJET), and simple color printers
(PRINTER). The CA MICS Administrator can define additional
format sets to meet data center requirements, and each
individual user can customize the defined format sets or add
new format sets as required.
The color graphics format set to be used is selected before
color graphics format parameters are specified for an inquiry
step. The parameters from this format set provide the
initial defaults on the color graphics format parameters
panel for the inquiry step being composed. When color
graphics format parameters are not specified during inquiry
composition (for example, default format parameters are
accepted), the default color graphics format set specified
for the mode of execution (for example, batch or foreground)
is used.
The Color Graphics Format Parameters process of MICF Options
is used to define color graphics format sets. When this
option is selected, a scrollable display of all defined color
graphics format sets is displayed. You can select a format
set to modify or you can insert a new color graphics format
set.
Color Graphics Format Sets for the following are distributed
with CA MICS:
o INKJET - Ink Jet Color Printer Graphics
(for example, DEVICE=TEK4510A)
o PENPLOT - Pen Plotter Color Graphics
(for example, an 8 pen plotter)
o PRINTER - Color Printer Graphics
(for example, DEVICE=IBM3287F)
o TERMINAL - Online (terminal based) Graphics
(for example, DEVICE=IBM3279)
The color graphics format parameters for each format set are:
Axis - Draw the chart/plot axis on color graphics outputs
(YES/NO)?
Specify YES, or Y, to draw the X and Y axes on color
graphics charts and plots.
Specify NO, or N, to draw color graphics charts and plots
without the X and Y axes.
Axis Frame - Outline the chart/plot axis area using the axis
color (YES/NO)?
Specify YES, or Y, to frame the axis area in the color of
the axis. This essentially extends the X and Y axes to
form a box around the axis area.
Specify NO, or N, to leave the right side and top of
color graphics open (that is, do NOT extend the axes to
form a box).
Border - Draw a border around color graphics outputs
(YES/NO)?
Specify YES, or Y, to draw a line around the entire color
graphics chart or plot. This frames the graphic and can
be useful when trimming hard copy graphics (that is,
trimming off the excess paper from around a pen plotter
output).
Specify NO, or N, to omit the border around color
graphics.
Color for chart/plot pattern number n (or blank for default
color), where n is 1 to 9.
This is the color used to draw the filled area or pattern
on color charts and plots. Color is specified for up to
nine unique filled areas on the chart/plot. Specify an

use axis color).
This defines the color used to draw horizontal reference
lines. These lines are drawn at a specified point on the
"plot of", or Y, axis of plot reports. Specify an
eight-character color name. Leave this parameter blank
to use the SAS/GRAPH default.
Note: This parameter is not validated; specifying an
invalid color causes execution to fail. Refer to the
SAS/GRAPH User's Guide for valid colors for each graphics
device.
Color of chart/plot primary title line (or blank to use SAS
default).
This is the color used to draw the first or primary color
graphics title line. Specify an eight-character color
name. Leave this parameter blank to use the SAS/GRAPH
default.
Note: This parameter is not validated; specifying an
invalid color causes execution to fail. Refer to the
SAS/GRAPH User's Guide for valid colors for each graphics
device.
Color of chart/plot subtitle lines (or blank to use SAS
default).
This is the color used to draw the two subtitle lines,
the subheading line, and the color graphics footnote.
Specify an eight-character color name. Leave this
parameter blank to use the SAS/GRAPH default.
Note: This parameter is not validated; specifying an
invalid color causes execution to fail. Refer to the
SAS/GRAPH User's Guide for valid colors for each graphics
device.
Color of chart/plot vertical reference lines (or blank to use
axis color).
This defines the color used to draw vertical reference
lines. These lines are drawn at a specified point on the
"plotted by", or X, axis of plot reports. Specify an
eight-character color name. Leave this parameter blank
to use the SAS/GRAPH default.
Note: This parameter is not validated; specifying an
invalid color causes execution to fail. Refer to the
SAS/GRAPH User's Guide for valid colors for each graphics
device.
Color of ALL graphics text (axis labels, legend, element
names, etc.).
This is the color used to draw all text (that is, words)
on the chart or plot except for the titles, subheading,
and footnote. This includes axis labels, symbol legend,
etc. Specify an eight-character color name. Leave this
parameter blank to use the SAS/GRAPH default.
Note: This parameter is not validated; specifying an
invalid color causes execution to fail. Refer to the
SAS/GRAPH User's Guide for valid colors for each graphics
device.
Color of ALL pie chart slices (or blank to use a unique color
for each slice).
This is the color used to draw ALL pie and star chart
slices, or segments. Specify an eight-character color
name. Leave this parameter blank to use a unique color
for each pie/star chart segment as specified by the color
for filled area 1-9 parameters.
Note: This parameter is not validated; specifying an
invalid color causes execution to fail. Refer to the
SAS/GRAPH User's Guide for valid colors for each graphics
device.
Color used for the chart/plot background (or blank for no
background color).
This is the color used for the background of charts and
plots. Specify an eight-character color name. Leave
this parameter blank to draw the chart/plot without a
colored background.
Note: This parameter is not validated; specifying an
invalid color causes execution to fail. Refer to the
SAS/GRAPH User's Guide for valid colors for each graphics
device.
Color used to fill the chart/plot axis area (or blank for no
axis area color).
This is the color used to fill the area inside the axis.
It provides a colored background for the area inside the
axis, without affecting the remainder of the chart or
plot. Specify an eight-character color name. Leave this
parameter blank to draw the chart/plot without filling
the axis area.
Note: This parameter is not validated; specifying an
invalid color causes execution to fail. Refer to the
SAS/GRAPH User's Guide for valid colors for each graphics
device.
Color used to outline chart columns, bars, or blocks (or
blank for no outline).
This is the color used to outline bar chart bars and
pie/star chart segments to provide added emphasis to the
edges. Specify an eight-character color name. Leave
this parameter blank to draw the chart without this extra
outline for bars and segments.
Note: This parameter is not validated; specifying an
invalid color causes execution to fail. Refer to the
SAS/GRAPH User's Guide for valid colors for each graphics
device.
Color For Pie Slice Text - Use same color as pie slice
(YES/NO)?
Specify YES, or Y, to draw the pie slice label using the
same color as was used to draw the pie slice.
Specify NO, or N, to draw the pie slice label using the
color specified for chart/plot text.
Filled Plots - Fill the area under plot lines (YES/NO)?
Specify YES, or Y, to fill the area below one or more
plot lines with a color and pattern to emphasize the area
defined by the line.
Specify NO, or N, to generate the plot without filled
areas.
Filled Plots - Number of areas under plot lines to be filled
(1 - 9 or blank).
This defines the number of areas to be filled. For
example, if a plot has three lines and this parameter is
two, then the area below the first line and the area
between the first and second lines will be filled. The
area between the second and third lines will NOT be
filled. This parameter must be blank if NO is specified
for the "Fill the area under plot lines" parameter above.
It must be a number between 1 and 9 if YES is specified
for the "Fill the area under plot lines" parameter above.
Font used for chart/plot primary title line (or blank to use
the SAS default).
This is the character format, or font, used to draw the
first title line on color graphics. It must be a valid
SAS/GRAPH character font name. Character font names are
1-9 characters. Leave this parameter blank to use the
SAS/GRAPH default. See the SAS/GRAPH User's Guide for a
list of valid character fonts.
Font used for chart/plot subtitle lines (or blank to use the
SAS default).
This is the character format, or font, used to draw the
two subtitle lines, the subheading line, and the footnote
for color graphics. It must be a valid SAS/GRAPH
character font name. Character font names are 1-9
characters. Leave this parameter blank to use the
SAS/GRAPH default. See the SAS/GRAPH User's Guide for a
list of valid character fonts.
Heading - Draw the Pie/Block Chart heading on color graphics
outputs (YES/NO)?
Specify YES, or Y, to include the standard SAS/GRAPH
header for pie, star, and block charts.
Specify NO, or N, to omit the standard pie, star, and
block chart header.
Height of chart/plot subtitle lines (or blank to use the SAS
default).
This is the height of the characters used to draw the two
subtitle lines, the subheading line, and the footnote for
color graphics. Specify 0 to drop the subtitle,
subheading, and footnote from the graph. Specify a
number between 1 and 9 to specify character height.
Leave this parameter blank to use the SAS/GRAPH default.
Horizontal Axis Tick Mark Spacing - No. tick marks between
horizontal axis values.
This is the number of minor (unlabeled) axis tick marks
to be drawn between each horizontal axis label (or major
tick mark). Specify a number between 1 and 99. Leave
this parameter blank to allow SAS to define an
appropriate number of minor tick marks.
Horizontal reference line format (SOLID/DASHED/DOTTED or
blank to use default).
This defines the format, or type, of line used to draw
horizontal reference lines. These lines are drawn at a
specified point on the "plot of", or Y, axis of plot
reports.
Specify SOLID, or SO, to draw a solid line
(for example, __________).
Specify DOTTED, or DO, to draw a dotted line
(for example, ........).
Specify DASHED, or DA, to draw a dashed line
(for example, - - - - -).
Leave this parameter blank to use the SAS/GRAPH default
value. See the SAS/GRAPH User's guide for additional
valid line format specifications.
Legend - Draw the symbol legend on color graphics outputs
(YES/NO)?
Specify YES, or Y, to draw a legend below the axis for
charts and plots. This defines the symbols, or
characters, and colors used to represent values of the
chart/plot variables when multiple symbols are used.
Specify NO, or N, to omit the symbol legend.
Line Format for plot line number n (SOLID/DASHED/DOTTED/...),
where n is 1 to 9.
This defines the format, or type, of line used to draw
the data lines on color plots. Line format is specified
for up to nine unique lines on the plot.
Specify SOLID, or SO, to draw a solid line
(for example, __________).
Specify DOTTED, or DO, to draw a dotted line
(for example, ........).
Specify DASHED, or DA, to draw a dashed line
(for example, - - - - -).
Leave this parameter blank to use the SAS/GRAPH default
value. See the SAS/GRAPH User's guide for additional
valid line format specifications.
Line Type for plot line number n
(NONE/STRAIGHT/SMOOTH/STEP/NEEDLE/...), where n is 1 to
9.
This defines the type of connecting line to be drawn
between points on color plots. Line type is specified
for up to nine unique lines on the plot.
Specify NONE to omit the connecting line. This creates a
scatter plot of unconnected data points. If filled areas
have been defined, this specification causes only the
filled areas to be drawn (that is, there will be no line
on the filled area border).
Specify STRAIGHT to draw a straight line between each
point on the plot. This generally produces a jagged line
and is a good choice for plots of information by month.
Specify SMOOTH to draw a smooth curve through the points
of the plot. Use this only when a large number of points
are available (for example, for measurements over the day
plotted in 5 minute intervals).
Specify STEP to simulate a vertical bar graph with each
point on the plot marking the center of a bar. This
often looks like a series of stair steps.
Specify NEEDLE to draw a line between the X-axis and each
point on the plot. This has a similar appearance to a
filled area plot when a large number of points are
plotted. With a small number of points, this
specification can highlight variation in Y-axis values.
See the SAS/GRAPH User's guide for additional valid line
type specifications.
Missing Values - Include missing values in color graphics
outputs (YES/NO)?
Specify YES, or Y, to accept a missing value as a valid
value for the "charted by" data element. This allows a
bar to be drawn for a value of missing value. This
situation occurs if the data element has never been
assigned a value (that is, this data item does not exist
for an observation) or if it results from an undefined
operation such as division by zero.
Specify NO, or N, to ignore records, or observations,
where the "charted by" data element has a value of
missing value.
Missing Values - Leave a gap in connecting lines at missing
values (YES/NO)?
Specify YES, or Y, to leave a gap in the connecting line
(if there is one) when the "plot of" data element has a
value of missing value. This situation occurs if the
data element has never been assigned a value (that is,
this data item does not exist for an observation) or if
it results from an undefined operation such as division
by zero.
Specify NO, or N, to ignore records, or observations,
where the "plot of" data element has a value of missing
value and draw a continuous connecting line between the
points of the plot.
Number of spaces between groups on column/bar charts (or
blank for default).
This is the number of extra spaces to leave between
vertical and horizontal bar chart groups. Specify a
number between 0 and 999. Leave this parameter blank to
use value spacing (see below) for group spacing.
Number of spaces between values on column/bar charts (or
blank for default).
This is the number of spaces to leave between chart bars
(vertical or horizontal). Specify a value between 1 and
999. Specify 0 to draw adjacent, or touching, bars.
Leave this parameter blank to allow SAS to select an
appropriate bar spacing. Specifying a non-zero value for
this parameter increases the possibility that a vertical
bar chart cannot be drawn (that is, there may not be
enough room on the page to draw a vertical bar chart).
Number of values (or bars) to be charted for each group in
column/bar charts.
This is the number of bars to be drawn on vertical or
horizontal bar charts and the number of blocks to be
drawn on block charts. If a "grouped by" data element is
specified, then this is the number of bars to be drawn
for each value of this "grouped by" data element.
Specify a number between 1 and 99. This parameter is
ignored for character "charted by" data elements if a
discrete X-axis is requested or if the axis scale has
been explicitly specified for the "charted by" data
element.
Pattern - Change column/bar/block chart pattern for each
(GROUP/SEGMENT/VALUE).
This defines the parameters for changing the pattern used
for drawing the bars of vertical and horizontal bar
charts.
Specify GROUP, or G, to use a different graphics pattern
for each value of the "grouped by" data element. This
causes all bars of a group to be drawn in the same color.
Specify SEGMENT, or S, to use a different graphics
pattern for each segment of a stacked bar (either
vertical or horizontal). This causes corresponding
segments of each bar to be drawn in the same color. This
specification would be ignored for a simple chart (that
is, one with no "stacked by" data element).
Specify VALUE, or V, to use a different graphics pattern
for each bar.
Pattern for chart/plot filled area number n
(SOLID/HASHED/HOLLOW/LEFTHASH/...), where n is 1 to 9.
This is the graphics pattern used to draw the "filled
areas" on color charts and plots. This includes the bars
of vertical and horizontal bar charts, the segments of
pie charts, and the area below the lines of plots.
Pattern is specified for up to nine unique filled areas
on the chart/plot.
Specify SOLID to fill the area completely with the
corresponding color. This specification is best for
online graphics. It is acceptable for standard color
printers and ink jet printers.
Specify HASHED to fill the area with lines in a
crosshatched pattern. This specification is best for
pen plotter devices. RIGHTHASH and LEFTHASH are each
half of the hashed pattern.
Specify HOLLOW to simply outline the area in the
corresponding color.
See the SAS/GRAPH User's guide for additional valid
filled area pattern specifications.
Pattern used to fill ALL pie chart slices
(SOLID/HASHED/HOLLOW).
This is the color graphics pattern used to draw ALL pie
and star chart slices. Leave this parameter blank to use
a unique pattern for each pie/star chart segment as
specified by the pattern for filled area 1-9 parameters.
Specify SOLID, or SO, to fill the segments completely
with the corresponding color. This specification is best
for online graphics. It is acceptable for standard color
printers and ink jet printers.
Specify HASHED, or HA, to fill the segments with lines in
a crosshatched pattern. This specification is best for
pen plotter devices.
Specify HOLLOW, or HO, to simply outline the area in the
corresponding color.
Percentage Graphs - Force each group to add up to 100%
(YES/NO)?
Specify YES, or Y, to force the bars of percentage graphs
to sum to 100% for each chart group (that is, for each
value of the "grouped by" data element). This causes the
bars to represent the percentage of the chart group
instead of the percentage of the grand total (all
independent or X-axis data element values).
Specify NO, or N, to let each bar reflect the percentage
of the grand total.
Pie Chart - No. pie charts to be drawn across the page (or
blank for default).
When a "grouped by" data element is specified for pie and
star charts, multiple related pie/star charts are
generated (one for each value of the "grouped by" data
element). Each chart will normally occupy a page, but
multiple charts can be drawn on a single page using this
parameter. It specifies the number of charts to be drawn
across the page. It must be a number between 1 and 9.
Leave this parameter blank to draw one chart across the
page.
Pie Chart - No. pie charts to be drawn down the page (or
blank to use default).
When a "grouped by" data element is specified for pie and
star charts, multiple related pie/star charts are
generated (one for each value of the "grouped by" data
element). Each chart will normally occupy a page, but
multiple charts can be drawn on a single page using this
parameter. It specifies the number of charts to be drawn
down the page. It must be a number between 1 and 9.
Leave this parameter blank to draw one chart down the
page.
Pie Slice Labeling Specification -
Label = (ARROW/INSIDE/OUTSIDE/NONE).
Each pie chart slice or star chart arm can be labeled
with the "charted by" data element value represented by
that segment. This parameter controls the placement of
this label.
Specify ARROW to print the label outside the pie/star
segment and draw an arrow from the label to the
corresponding segment.
Specify INSIDE to print the label inside the pie/star
segment.
Specify OUTSIDE to print the label outside the pie/star
segment without a connecting arrow.
Specify NONE to omit the pie/star segment label.
Pie Slice Labeling Specification -
Percentage = (ARROW/INSIDE/OUTSIDE/NONE).
Each pie chart slice or star chart arm can be labeled
with the percentage of the total pie/star represented by
that segment. This parameter controls the placement of
this label.
Specify ARROW to print the percentage outside the
pie/star segment and draw an arrow from the label to the
corresponding segment.
Specify INSIDE to print the percentage inside the
pie/star segment.
Specify OUTSIDE to print the percentage outside the
pie/star segment without a connecting arrow.
Specify NONE to omit the pie/star segment percentage.
Pie Slice Labeling Specification -
Value = (ARROW/INSIDE/OUTSIDE/NONE).
Each pie chart slice or star chart arm can be labeled
with the actual "chart of" data element value represented
by that segment. This parameter controls the placement
of this label.
Specify ARROW to print the value outside the pie/star
segment and draw an arrow from the label to the
corresponding segment.
Specify INSIDE to print the value inside the pie/star
segment.
Specify OUTSIDE to print the value outside the pie/star
segment without a connecting arrow.
Specify NONE to omit the pie/star segment value.
Regression Line - Confidence limits for line number n
(90/95/99/NONE), where n is 1 to 9.
This is the regression confidence limit to be drawn for a
regression line on a relationship plot. The confidence
limit is represented by a dotted line above and below the
regression line. This indicates the width or probability
of the relationship. For example, a 95% confidence limit
indicates a 95% probability that a random point will fall
between the upper and lower confidence limits.
Confidence limits are specified for up to nine unique
regression lines.
Specify 90, 95, or 99 for 90%, 95%, or 99% confidence
limits respectively.
Specify NONE, or N, to draw the plot without confidence
limits.
This parameter must be blank if the corresponding
regression type parameter is blank.
Regression Line - Force regression line number n through zero
(YES/NO), where n is 1 to 9.
This parameter controls the regression line derived for a
relationship plot. It is specified for up to nine unique
regression lines.
Specify YES, or Y, to force the regression line to pass
through 0 on both axis (that is, the point (0,0) is on
the line).
Specify NO, or N, to derive the regression line without
this restriction (that is, the point (0,0) is not
necessarily on the line). Always specify NO unless you
are certain that (0,0) is a point in the relationship.
Always specify NO when plotting response time on the
Y-axis (for example, for concurrent TSO users vs.
response time) because response time is never zero, even
at zero users.
This parameter must be blank if the corresponding
regression type parameter is blank.
Regression Type for relationship plot line number n
(LINEAR/QUAD/CUBIC), where n is 1 to 9.
This is the type of regression line to be derived for the
relationship being plotted. Regression type is specified
for up to nine unique regression lines.
Specify LINEAR, or L, to derive a straight line to
describe the relationship between the plot variables. A
linear relationship often exists between two workload
measures such as TSO command rate and TSO CPU
utilization.
Specify QUAD, or Q, to derive a quadratic line (that is,
a parabola) to describe the relationship between the plot
variables. A quadratic relationship generally exists
between workload and service measures (for example,
concurrent TSO users and TSO response time) and between
workload and throughput measures (for example, concurrent
TSO users and TSO command rate).
Specify CUBIC, or C, to derive a cubic line to describe
the relationship between the plot variables. For some
situations, a cubic relationship can be derived in place
of the quadratic relationship.
Symbol for plot line number n
(NONE/PLUS/STAR/TRIANGLE/DIAMOND/HASH/...), where n is 1
to 9.
This is the symbol to be drawn for each point on color
plots. Symbol is specified for up to nine unique lines.
Specify NONE to omit the symbol for each point. This
causes the plot to be drawn with only the connecting line
and/or filled areas.
Symbol can be any single character A-Z or 0-9. Key words
are provided for special symbols such as PLUS, STAR,
TRIANGLE, DIAMOND, HASH, etc. See the SAS/GRAPH User's
Guide for additional valid graphics symbols.
Title 1 - Alternate default title line 1 (if not inquiry
title).
This value will be used as the default for the first
title line for color graphics if NO is specified for the
"Use inquiry title" parameter below. This is 1-60
characters; single or double quotes (' or ") are not
allowed. Leave this parameter blank to print a blank
title.
Title 1 - Use inquiry title as the default report title line
1 (YES/NO)?
Specify YES, or Y, to use the inquiry title as the
default for the first title line on color graphics.
Specify NO, or N, to use the alternate default title line
as the first title line for color graphics.
Title 2 - Alternate default title line 2 (if not installation
name).
This value will be used as the default for the second
title line for color graphics if NO is specified for the
"Use installation name" parameter below. This is 1-60
characters; single or double quotes (' or ") are not
allowed. Leave this parameter blank to print a blank
title.
Title 2 - Use installation name as the default report title
line 2 (YES/NO)?
Specify YES, or Y, to use the data center name as
specified by your CA MICS Administrator as the default
second title line for color graphics.
Specify NO, or N, to use the alternate default title line
as the second title line for color graphics.
Title 3 - Alternate default title line 3 (if not time frame
specification).
This value will be used as the default for the third
title line on color graphics if NO is specified for the
"Use time frame specification" parameter below. This is
1-60 characters; single or double quotes (' or ") are not
allowed. Leave this parameter blank to print a blank
title.
Title 3 - Use time frame specification as the default title
line 3 (YES/NO)?
Specify YES, or Y, to use the time frame covered by the
report (for example, For October, 1986) as the default
for the third title line on color graphics. If the
inquiry does not include time frame selection, the third
title line will be blank.
Specify NO, or N, to use the alternate default title line
as the third title line for color graphics.
Title 4 - Alternate default title line 4 (if not inquiry name
and/or run date).
This value is used as the default for the color graphics
footnote (the third subtitle line) if NONE is specified
for the "Use inquiry name and/or run date" parameter
below. This is 1-60 characters; single or double quotes
(' or ") are not allowed. Leave this parameter blank to
print a blank footnote.
Title 4 - Use inquiry name and/or run date as title line 4
(BOTH/INQ/DATE/NONE)
Specify BOTH, or B, to define a default color graphics
footnote containing the inquiry name (six characters) on
the left side of the line and the execution date on the
right side of the line.
Specify INQ, or I, to define a default color graphics
footnote containing the inquiry name (six characters) on
the left side of the line.
Specify DATE, or D, to define a default color graphics
footnote containing the execution date on the right side
of the line.
Specify NONE, or N, to use the alternate default color
graphics footnote.
Vertical reference line format (SOLID/DASHED/DOTTED or blank
to use default).
This defines the format of the line used to draw vertical
reference lines. These lines are drawn at a specified
point on the "plotted by", or X, axis of plot reports.
Specify SOLID, or SO, to draw a solid line
(for example, __________).
Specify DOTTED, or DO, to draw a dotted line
(for example, ........).
Specify DASHED, or DA, to draw a dashed line
(for example, - - - - -).
Leave this parameter blank to use the SAS/GRAPH default
value. See the SAS/GRAPH User's guide for additional
valid line format specifications.
Vertical Axis Tick Mark Spacing - No. tick marks between
vertical axis values.
This is the number of minor axis tick marks to be drawn
between each vertical axis label (or major tick mark).
Specify a number between 1 and 99. Leave this parameter
blank to allow SAS to define an appropriate number of
minor tick marks.
Z-Axis Tick Mark Spacing - No. Tick marks between Z-Axis
values.
This is the number of minor axis tick marks to be drawn
between each Z-axis label (or major tick mark). Specify
a number between 1 and 99. Leave this parameter blank to
allow SAS to define an appropriate number of minor tick
marks.
Zero Values - Include zero values in color graphics outputs
(YES/NO)?
