Graphical Style Element Reference
| The GraphColors Style Element |
The GraphColors style element specifies the default colors that are used for different categories of graphical elements. GraphColors Attributes For Device-Based Output lists the style attributes that are defined in the GraphColors style element and the graphical elements that they affect by default.
| GraphColors Attribute1 | Portion of Graph Affected |
|---|---|
| gaxis | axis lines and tick marks |
| gborderlines | border around the graph wall, legend border, and borders to complete axis frame |
| gconnectLine | line for connecting boxes |
| gfloor | graph floor |
| ggrid | grid lines |
| glabel | axis labels and legend titles |
| glegend | background of the legend |
| goutline | outlines for data primitives such as bars, pie slices, and boxes |
| gshadow | drop shadows used with text |
| gtext2 | graph titles, tick mark values, and legend value descriptions |
| gwalls | frame area in two-dimensional graphs and vertical walls in three-dimensional graphs |
|
gdata1-gdata12
gcdata1-gcdata12 |
data items; gdata1-gdata12 apply to filled areas; gcdata1-gcdata12 apply to markers and lines |
|
gramp2cstart
gramp2cend |
gradient contours, surfaces, continuous choropleth maps, and continuous block maps when areas are not used |
|
gconramp2cstart
gconramp2cend |
continuous block maps when areas are used |

Elements
in the GraphColors style element that are not included in this
table are used with ODS Graphics output only.
2 The gtext attribute does not affect text that is not rendered as part of the graph. See also "Controlling Titles and Footnotes with Java and ActiveX Devices in HTML Output" in Chapter 9, "Managing Your Graphics With ODS". |
|
| The GraphFonts Style Element |
The GraphFonts style element specifies the default fonts that are used for different categories of graphical elements. GraphFonts Attributes For Device-Based Output lists the style attributes that are defined in the GraphFonts style element and the graphical elements that they affect by default.
| GraphFonts Attributes* | Portion of Graph Affected |
|---|---|
| GraphDataFont | contour labels |
| GraphValueFont | axis tick mark labels, legend value description labels, data values in statistics tables, pie labels, regression equations, data point labels, bar labels |
| GraphLabelFont | axis labels, legend labels, column headings in statistics tables |
| GraphFootnoteFont | footnotes |
| GraphTitleFont | titles |
| * The GraphUnicode and GraphAnnoFont attributes are used with ODS graphics only. | |
| Font Specifications In The GraphFonts Style Element |
Font definitions in the GraphFonts style element can refer to registry entries, they can specify a specific font, or they can specify only a font family. For example:
'GraphLabelFont' = ("<MTsans-serif>, Arial, sans-serif",10pt,bold)
- <MTsans-serif>
-
specifies the font identified by the MTsans-serif subkey in the SAS registry. The less than and greater than signs tell SAS that this is the name of a subkey in the SAS registry. Because it is the first font listed, SAS uses this font if it can find the font file. To view the font settings in the SAS registry, select ODS
![[arrow]](../../../../common/61925/HTML/default/images/arrow.gif)
FONTS
in the SAS registry. See "Changing SAS Registry Settings
for ODS" in
SAS Output Delivery System: User's Guide for more information. - Arial
-
specifies the Arial font. If SAS cannot find the first font listed, it tries to find the second font listed.
- sans-serif
-
specifies the san-serif font family. If SAS cannot find the specific fonts listed, then it looks for a font in the san-serif font family.
- 10pt,bold
-
specifies the weight and type style that should be used.
Note: SAS might not be able to
find a specific font unless it is registered with the FONTREG procedure. The
fonts shipped with SAS are already registered. If you want to add additional
fonts, see
SAS Language Reference: Concepts for information on registering TrueType fonts. See
Base SAS Procedures Guide
for information on the FONTREG procedure. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/61925/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
| Style Elements that Affect SAS/GRAPH Output |
The style elements listed in the following tables affect SAS/GRAPH output and can be used in styles. These tables list each style element, the portion of the graph it affects or was created to use with, and the default attribute values. Attribute values can be changed with PROC TEMPLATE, as described in Using the TEMPLATE Procedure and Example: Modifying a Style Element. For complete documentation on the style attributes that can be specified in each style element, see Style Attributes and Their Values in the section TEMPLATE Procedure: Creating a Style Definition in SAS Output Delivery System: User's Guide.
