The graphs that are
produced by the SAS analytical procedures are created from compiled
STATGRAPH templates that are written in GTL. For each graph that
is created by a procedure, a template has been defined by the procedure
writers and shipped with SAS. These templates can be found in the
appropriate subfolder of the SASHELP.TMPLMST item store (issue the
ODSTEMPLATE command to open the
Templates window). Users wanting to make persistent changes to these automatic
graphics can do so by editing and recompiling these definitions of
the graphs. Understanding the structure of these templates requires
knowledge of GTL, as described in this User's Guide. Changes to these
templates should follow the guidelines presented in the discussion
on statistical graphics using ODS in the
SAS/STAT User's
Guide.
