CBORDER='color' | 'CTEXT';

Variable Values

color: specifies the color that outlines the box. The color value can be any SAS/GRAPH color name. See Using Colors in SAS/GRAPH Programs for more information about specifying colors.

Specifying a null value for the color value (CBORDER=' ') cancels the CBORDER variable.

CTEXT: draws the border in the same color as the text or symbol. The text color is determined by (1) the COLOR variable or (2) the CTEXT=graphics option or (3) the first color in the color list.

Using the CBORDER Variable

Once you have specified CBORDER, it remains in effect for all subsequent observations that use the LABEL or SYMBOL function and draws a border around all text or symbols. To turn off the border for subsequent text or symbols, specify CBORDER=' '.

To fill the area defined by CBORDER, use the CBOX variable in conjunction with CBORDER.
