Controlling The Appearance of Your Graphs

Style Elements for Use with ODS Statistical Graphics

The following style elements affect statistical graphics and can be specified by GTL appearance options or used in styles.

Certain style elements were created to be used with specific plots. For example, the style element GraphFit2 is best used to modify secondary fit lines. The style element GraphConfidence2 was created to modify secondary confidence bands. The table below lists 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 stated above.
