Display Attributes

The display attributes for the lines, colors, marker symbols, and text used in a graph are derived from the ODS style that is in effect when the graph is produced and may also be influenced by grouped data. To override default display attributes, all GTL statements provide options that manage the graph's visual appearance. For example, a BOXPLOT statement provides an OUTLIERATTRS= option that manages the visual appearance of outliers.

Two ways are generally available for modifying a graph's display attributes:

• Change the ODS style that is in effect for the graph. "ODS Styles" provides an overview of the use of styles in a graph, and the usage guide discusses the use of styles in more detail.
• Override default style settings using GTL statement options. Some examples are given in the sections that follow.
