PROC CAPABILITY: Dictionary of Options

The CAPABILITY Procedure

Dictionary of Options

The following entries provide detailed descriptions of options for the INSET statement. The notes Traditional Graphics and ODS Graphics identify options that apply only to traditional graphics and ODS Graphics output, respectively. Terms used in this section are illustrated in Figure 5.14.8.

Output 5.14.8 The Inset

CFILL=color | BLANK

[Traditional Graphics] specifies the color of the background (including the header background if you do not specify the CFILLH= option). See Output 5.15.1 for an example.

If you do not specify the CFILL= option, then by default, the background is empty. This means that items that overlap the inset (such as curves, histogram bars, or specification limits) show through the inset. If you specify any value for the CFILL= option, then overlapping items no longer show through the inset. Specify CFILL=BLANK to leave the background uncolored and also to prevent items from showing through the inset.

CFILLH=color

[Traditional Graphics] specifies the color of the header background. By default, if you do not specify a CFILLH= color, the CFILL= color is used.

CFRAME=color

[Traditional Graphics] specifies the color of the frame. By default, the frame is the same color as the axis of the plot.

CHEADER=color

[Traditional Graphics] specifies the color of the header text. By default, if you do not specify a CHEADER= color, the CTEXT= color is used.

CSHADOW=color

[Traditional Graphics]

CS=color

specifies the color of the drop shadow. See Output 5.16.1 for an example. By default, if you do not specify the CSHADOW= option, a drop shadow is not displayed.

CTEXT=color

[Traditional Graphics]

CT=color

specifies the color of the text. By default, the inset text color is the same as the other text on the plot.

DATA

specifies that data coordinates are to be used in positioning the inset with the POSITION= option. The DATA option is available only when you specify POSITION $\text{[math]}$ , and it must be placed immediately after the coordinates $\text{[math]}$ . For details, see the entry for the POSITION= option or Positioning the Inset Using Coordinates. See Figure 5.14.11 for an example.

FONT=font

[Traditional Graphics] specifies the font of the text. By default, the font is SIMPLEX if the inset is located in the interior of the plot, and the font is the same as the other text displayed on the plot if the inset is located in the exterior of the plot.

FORMAT=format

specifies a format for all the values displayed in an inset. If you specify a format for a particular statistic, then this format overrides the format you specified with the FORMAT= option. See Figure 5.14.7 or Output 5.15.1 for an example.

GUTTER=value

[ODS Graphics] specifies the gutter width in percent screen units for an inset located in the top or bottom margin. The gutter is the space between columns of values in an inset.

HEADER= 'string'

specifies the header text. The string cannot exceed 40 characters. If you do not specify the HEADER= option, no header line appears in the inset. If all the keywords listed in the INSET statement are secondary keywords corresponding to a fitted curve on a histogram, a default header is displayed that indicates the distribution and identifies the curve. See Figure 5.14.7 for an example of a specified header and Output 5.15.1 for an example of the default header for a fitted normal curve.

HEIGHT=value

[Traditional Graphics] specifies the height of the text.

NCOLS=n

[ODS Graphics] specifies the number of columns of (label, value) pairs displayed in an inset located in the top or bottom margin.

NOFRAME

suppresses the frame drawn around the text.

POSITION=position

POS=position

determines the position of the inset. The position can be a compass point keyword, a margin keyword, or a pair of coordinates $\text{[math]}$ . You can specify coordinates in axis percent units or axis data units. For more information, see Details. By default, POSITION=NW, which positions the inset in the upper left (northwest) corner of the display.

Note:In this release of the CAPABILITY procedure, you cannot specify coordinates with the POSITION= option when producing ODS Graphics output.

REFPOINT=BR | BL | TR | TL

RP=BR | BL | TR | TL

[Traditional Graphics] specifies the reference point for an inset that is positioned by a pair of coordinates with the POSITION= option. Use the REFPOINT= option with POSITION= coordinates. The REFPOINT= option specifies which corner of the inset frame you want positioned at coordinates $\text{[math]}$ . The keywords BL, BR, TL, and TR represent bottom left, bottom right, top left, and top right, respectively. See Figure 5.14.12 for an example. The default is REFPOINT=BL.

If you specify the position of the inset as a compass point or margin keyword, the REFPOINT= option is ignored. For more information, see Positioning the Inset Using Coordinates.
