1.4.3.6.6 Override Color Graphics Format Parameters

If you enter Y after Override color graphics format
parameters on the Extended Options Menu, the Color Graphics
Format Parameters panel, shown in Figure 1-35 appears.

You can use this panel to override parameter defaults that
control color graphics format and appearance.  These default
values are specified through the MICF Color Graphics Format
Parameters process.  (SAS/GRAPH software is a prerequisite
for color graphics.)  You can customize these defaults to
match your most common reporting requirements.  In this way,
you need to override color graphics format defaults only for
exceptional reporting requirements.

 Figure 1-35.  Color Graphics Format Parameters Panel


The options for the Color Graphics Format Parameters panel
are:

Title print   The character format (font) for the title
font:         lines.  Character font names are one to nine
              characters in length.  See the SAS/GRAPH
              Reference Guide for a list of valid character
              fonts.

Title color:  The color of the title lines.

Draw border   The specification to frame the graph with a
around plot:  border (that is, draw a line around the outside
              of the display).

Background    The specification to generate the graph on a
color:        colored background (that is, draw a line around
              the outside of the display).

Axis color:   The color of the x-axis and y-axis.

Area inside   The specification to draw the plot lines on a
axis color:   colored background (that is, only the area
              inside the axis is filled).

Text color:   The color of all text words except the titles
              and labels.

Symbol:       The symbol for plotting the data values.  See
              the SAS/GRAPH Reference Guide for the available
              symbols.

Color:        The color for plotting the data values.  See
              the SAS/GRAPH Reference Guide for the available
              colors.

Line:         The line type for plotting the data values.
              See the SAS/GRAPH Reference Guide for the
              available line types.
