The ODS Graphics Designer
enables you to modify the current style of a graph and immediately
apply the modified style to the graph. This feature is useful when
you want to create and apply a new style based on the current style.
To modify and apply
the current style:
-
Open the graph whose
style you want to change. The style can be a custom style or a SAS
predefined style. (You cannot change the predefined SAS styles. However,
you can edit a SAS style, customize various style elements and attributes,
and save your changes using a new style name.)
Note: If you have multiple graphs
opened that use the current custom style, these graphs will all change
if the current style is changed.
-
Select
FormatStyle Edit Current Style. The Graph Style Editor
appears. The
Style list box contains only
the current style that you are modifying.
-
Modify the style.
For more information
about the changes that you can make to a style, see Create a Custom Style.
-
To save your changes,
click one of the following buttons:
-
Save/Apply to save and apply the changes in the current style. If the current
style is a SAS predefined style, then this button is dimmed, and you
must use the
Save As/Apply option.
-
Save As/Apply to save the current style as a new style and apply the new style.
The Graph Style Editor
saves your changes and then closes.
