PIE CHART PARAMETERS
You can use the color graphics format parameters extended
option to override parameter defaults that control color
graphics format and appearance. These default values are
specified through the Color Graphics Format Parameters
process of MICF Options. Thus, 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.
The Color Graphics Format Parameters panel includes
specifications for the following:
o Colors for text, title, background, and other chart
format related parameters.
o Color and Pattern for portions of each pie slice
representing a given workload's share of CPU
consumption.
An example of a Color Graphics Format Parameter panel for pie
charts can be seen in Figure 2-207. Its parameters are
described below.

GENERAL PIE CHART PARAMETER CHOICES
o Print Fonts - These parameters specify the character
format (or font) for titles and subheadings.
Character font names are 1-9 characters. Refer to the
SAS/GRAPH User's Guide for a list of valid character
fonts.
- Title - Required.
This refers to the primary title line.
- Subtitles - Required.
This refers to the subtitles and subheading line.
o Draw border - Required.
Indicates whether a border should be drawn around the
pie chart. Default is N (No).
o Colors
This group of parameters specifies the color to use
for portions of the chart. Each parameter is an
8-character color name. This parameter is not
validated; however, specifying an invalid color will
cause execution to fail. Refer to the SAS/GRAPH
User's Guide for valid colors for each graphics
device.
- Title - Required.
This refers to the primary title line.
- Subtitles - Required.
This refers to the subtitles and subheading line.
- Text - Required.
This applies to all text (words) except the titles
and subheading (e.g., slice labels, symbol legend,
etc.)
- Background - Optional.
Specify this parameter to generate the graph on a
colored background (fill the entire graph with a
color.)
PIE SLICE PARAMETER CHOICES
The following parameters define the color and pattern for
each slice appearing in the pie chart. The graphics
parameters are active in all charts. The two basic
parameters are described below.
o Color - character color name(s).
This parameter is not validated; however, specifying
an invalid color will cause execution to fail. Refer
to the SAS/GRAPH User's Guide for valid colors for
each graphics device.
o Pattern - character pattern values(s).
Specify SOLID to fill the area with the corresponding
color. Specify HOLLOW to simply outline the area in
the corresponding color. Specify HASHED to fill the
area with lines in a cross-hatched pattern using the
corresponding color (RIGHTHASH and LEFTHASH are each
half of the HASHED pattern). See the SAS/GRAPH User's
Guide for additional pattern specifications.
