| Controlling The Appearance of Your Graphs |
By default, the attributes of various elements of the graph are derived from specific style elements unless explicitly overridden with procedure or global statement options in the SAS/GRAPH program. For example, you can use the CTITLE= and CTEXT= options on the GOPTIONS global statement to change the color of the text in all of your graphs. You can use the SYMBOL statement to specify colors for markers. See the examples in SAS/GRAPH Statements.
Instead of specifying global options, which affect all of your SAS/GRAPH output, you can specify options on specific action statements which affect only the output produced by that statement. For an example, see Modifying the Appearance of Radar Charts.
The documentation for each option that overrides a style element includes the name of the style element and attribute. For example, the documentation for the CAXIS= option for the GCHART procedure includes the following style reference information:
| Style reference: | Color attribute of the GraphAxisLines element |
As a best practice, attributes that are used repeatedly are best specified in an ODS style. Attributes that are used only once or occasionally are best specified using SAS/GRAPH statements.
