Style Attributes Overview

Style attributes exist within style elements and are specified by the STYLE Statement or the CLASS Statement. The default value for an attribute depends on the style that is in use. For information about styles, style elements, and style attributes, see Understanding Styles, Style Elements, and Style Attributes.

Style attributes can be supplied by SAS or user-defined. Style attributes can be referenced with a style reference. See style-reference for more information.

The implementation of an attribute depends on the ODS destination that formats the output. When creating HTML output, the implementation of an attribute depends on the browser that is used. For information about viewing the attributes in a style, see Viewing the Contents of a Style.

For a list of the values that style attributes can specify, see Style Attribute Values. For a list of style elements that you can specify style attributes in, see ODS Style Elements.

¹ This attribute can also be used to influence other characteristics as described in another section of the table

Note:   You can use the value _UNDEF_ for any style attribute. ODS treats an attribute that is set to _UNDEF_ as if its value had never been set, even in the parent or beyond.  

Graphical style attributes can be used in graphical style elements for device-based graphics or template-based graphics (ODS graphics). Different style attributes are valid for different style elements. For a table of style elements and the style attributes that are valid in each one, see Style Elements Affecting Template-Based Graphics and Style Elements Affecting Device-Based Graphics.

Device-based graphics are all SAS/GRAPH output where there is a user-specified or default device (DEVICE= option) that controls certain aspects of the graphical output. Supplied device drivers are stored in the Sashelp.Devices catalog. Examples of devices drivers are SASPRTC, GIF, WIN, ACTIVEX, PDF, and SVG. Common SAS/GRAPH procedures that produce device-based graphics are GPLOT, GCHART, and GMAP. Most device-based graphics produce a GRSEG catalog entry as output and use the GOPTIONS statement to control the graphical environment.

Template-based graphics graphics include all SAS/GRAPH output where a compiled ODS template of type STATGRAPH is used to produce graphical ouput. Supplied templates are stored in Sashelp.Tmplmst. Device drivers and some global statements such as SYMBOL, PATTERN, AXIS, and LEGEND have no affect on this form of graphics. Common SAS/GRAPH procedures that produce template-based graphics are SGPLOT, SGPANEL, and SGRENDER, in addition to many SAS/STAT, SAS/ETS, and SAS/QC procedures. ODS graphics always produce ouput as image files and use the ODS GRAPHICS statement to control the graphical environment.

Tip:	Use WIDTH=100% to make the table or graph as wide as the window that it is open in.
Restriction:	The WIDTH= attribute is valid only in markup family destinations, printer family destinations, and the RTF destination.

Style Attribute Values

Values for style attributes are one of the following:

color

is a string that identifies a color. A color is defined in the following ways:

• most of the color names that are supported by SAS/GRAPH. These names include the following:

  • a predefined SAS color (for example, blue or VIYG)

  • a red/green/blue (RGB) value (for example, CX0023FF)

  • a hue/light/saturation (HLS) value (for example, H14E162D)

  • a gray-scale value (for example, GRAYBB).

• an RGB value with a leading pound sign (#) rather than CX (for example, #0023FF).

• one of the colors that exists in the SAS session when the style is used:

  • DMSBLUE

  • DMSRED

  • DMSPINK

  • DMSGREEN

  • DMSCYAN

  • DMSYELLOW

  • DMSWHITE

  • DMSORANGE

  • DMSBLACK

  • DMSMAGENTA

  • DMSGRAY

  • DMSBROWN

  • SYSBACK

  • SYSSECB

  • SYSFORE

  Note:   Use these colors only when running SAS in the windowing environment.  

• an English description of an HLS. Such descriptions use a combination of words to describe the lightness, the saturation, and the hue (in that order). Use the Color Naming System to form a color in the following ways:

  • combining a chromatic hue with a lightness, a saturation, or both

  • combining the achromatic hue gray with a lightness

  • combining the achromatic hue black or white without qualifiers

  Use the words in the following table:

  Hue/Light/Saturation (HLS) Values

  Lightness	Saturation	Chromatic Hue	Achromatic Hue
  		Blue	Black *
  Very dark	Grayish	Purple
  Dark	Moderate	Red
  Medium	Strong	Orange | brown	Gray **
  Light	Vivid	Yellow
  Very light		Green
  			White *
  * Black and white cannot be combined with a lightness or a saturation value. ** Gray cannot be combined with a saturation value.

  Combine these words to form a wide variety of colors. Here are examples:

  • light vivid green

  • dark vivid orange

  • light yellow

Note:   The Output Delivery System first tries to match a color with a SAS/GRAPH color. Thus, although brown and orange are interchangeable in the table, if you use them as unmodified hues, then they are different. The reason for this is that ODS interprets them as SAS colors, which are mapped to different colors.  

You can also specify hues that are intermediate between two neighboring colors. To do so, combine one of these adjectives with one of its neighboring colors:

• reddish

• orangish

• brownish

• yellowish

• greenish

• bluish

• purplish

For example, you can use the following as hues:

• bluish purple

• reddish orange

• yellowish green

See also:

RBG Color Codes, HLS Color Codes, and Gray-Scale Color codes in SAS/GRAPH: Reference for information about SAS/GRAPH colors.

dimension

is a whole number, a percentage, or a nonnegative number followed by one of these units of measure:

Units of Measure for Dimension

cm	Centimeters
em	Standard typesetting measurement unit for width
ex	Standard typesetting measurement unit for height
in	Inches
mm	Millimeters
pt	A printer's point

Default:

For the PRINTER destination, units of 1/150 of an inch

font-definition

is the name of a font, the font size, and font keywords. A font definition has this general format:

("font-face-1 <... , font-face-n>", font-size, keyword-list)

"font-face"

specifies the name of the font.

ODS styles can now use new TrueType fonts. All Universal Printers and many SAS/GRAPH devices use the FreeType library to render TrueType fonts for output in all of the operating environments that SAS software supports. In addition, by default, many SAS/GRAPH device drivers and all Universal Printers generate output using ODS styles, and these ODS styles use TrueType fonts. In addition to SAS Monospace and SAS Monospace Bold, 21 new TrueType fonts are made available when you install SAS:

• five Latin fonts compatible with Microsoft

• eight multilingual Unicode fonts

• eight monolingual Asian fonts

For more information about the TrueType fonts, see the section "Printing with SAS" in SAS Language Reference: Concepts.

Restriction:	You must enclose multiple font-face in quotation marks. If you specify only one font and if its name does not include a space character, then omit the quotation marks.
Tip:	If you specify more than one font, then the destination device uses the first one that is installed on the system.

font-size

specifies the size of the font. font-size is a dimension or a number without units of measure. If you specify a dimension, then specify a unit of measure. Without a unit of measure the number becomes a size that is relative to all other font sizes in the HTML document. For more information, see dimension.

keyword-list

specifies the font weight, font style, and font width. Include one value for each, in any order. This table shows the keywords to use:

Font Keywords

Keywords for Font Weight	Keywords for Font Style	Keywords for Font Width
MEDIUM	ITALIC	NORMAL*
BOLD	ROMAN	COMPRESSED*
DEMI_BOLD*	SLANT	EXTRA_COMPRESSED*
EXTRA_BOLD*		NARROW*
LIGHT		WIDE*
DEMI_LIGHT*		EXPANDED*
EXTRA_LIGHT*
* Few fonts honor these values.
