Style Attributes Versus Device Entry Parameters

The default appearance of SAS/GRAPH output is determined by either style attributes or device entry parameters, depending on the setting of the GSTYLE system option and on the device that is being used.
By default, the GSTYLE system option is in effect, and the appearance of all SAS/GRAPH output is determined by style attributes. If the NOGSTYLE system option is in effect, then the device entry parameters govern the appearance of SAS/GRAPH output for all devices except the Java and ActiveX devices. The Java and ActiveX devices always use styles to determine appearance. The setting of the GSTYLE system option has no effect on the Java and ActiveX devices.
