| TEMPLATE Procedure: Layout Statements (Experimental) |
LAYOUT OVERLAY Statement
Assembles the results of nested ODS statistical graphs statements into a single axis area. The plots are drawn in the order in which they are specified, with the results of the last statement on top.

| ODS -statgraph-statements; |
| ENDLAYOUT; |
| Usage Information |
| Restriction: |
You can add one or more graphs to the graph area that the LAYOUT OVERLAY statement creates, however, all of the graphs will share the same set of axes. |
| Interaction: |
When nested within another layout type, the OVERLAY layout generally defines the graph display for one cell of the parent layout. A separate OVERLAY layout is specified for each cell. |
| Tip: |
The LAYOUT OVERLAY block is primarily used to specify plot statements, but it can also specify other statements from the TEMPLATE procedure. All statements that are specified in the block are displayed within the defined area. |
| Interaction: |
Options that are specified in the LAYOUT OVERLAY statement often override the option settings that are specified on plot statements within the OVERLAY block. This does not apply to plot statements that are nested inside layouts within the overlay block. |
