BIHISTOPARM Statement
Displays a bivariate histogram of two variables X and Y, where binned values of the X and Y variables and bin frequency counts are provided, and typically is used to add a bivariate histogram to a surface plot.
| BIHISTOPARM X= numeric-column | expression Y= numeric-column | expression Z= numeric-column | expression < / option(s)> ; |

| Required Arguments |
- X
-
specifies the bin location of the X values.
- Y
-
specifies the bin location of the Y values.
- Z
-
specifies the response values, such as the frequency counts, percentages, or densities.
| Options |
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| BACKGROUND= color | style-reference | Specifies the background color of the graph. |
| BACKTRANSPARENCY= number | Specifies the degree of the transparency of the background color. |
| DATATRANSPARENCY= number | Specifies the degree of the transparency of the bars. |
| FILLCOLOR= color | style-reference | Specifies the color of the bars. |
| TRANSPARENCY= number | Specifies the degree of the transparency of the bars and background, if displayed in a graph. |
| XVALUES= LEFTPOINTS | MIDPOINTS | RIGHTPOINTS | Specifies whether the X values represent lower endpoints, midpoints, or upper endpoints of the bins. |
| YVALUES= LEFTPOINTS | MIDPOINTS | RIGHTPOINTS | Specifies whether the Y values represent lower endpoints, midpoints, or upper endpoints of the bins. |
- BACKGROUND= color | style-reference
-
specifies the background color of the graph.
Default: Specified by the GraphBackground:Background style reference. Interaction: Ignored in a LAYOUT OVERLAY block. For information, see Ignored Plot Options in a LAYOUT OVERLAY Block. - BACKTRANSPARENCY= number
-
specifies the degree of the transparency of the background color.
Default: 0 Range: 0 (opaque) to 1 (entirely transparent) Interaction: The BACKTRANSPARENCY= option overrides the TRANSPARENCY= option for the background. Interaction: Ignored in a LAYOUT OVERLAY block. For information, see Ignored Plot Options in a LAYOUT OVERLAY Block. See also: TRANSPARENCY= option - DATATRANSPARENCY= number
-
specifies the degree of the transparency of the bars.
Default: 0 Range: 0 (opaque) to 1 (entirely transparent) Interaction: The DATATRANSPARENCY= option overrides the TRANSPARENCY= option for the bars. See also: TRANSPARENCY= option - FILLCOLOR= color | style-reference
-
specifies the color of the bars.
Default: Specified by the GraphDataDefault:Foreground style reference. - TRANSPARENCY= number
-
specifies the degree of the transparency of the bars and background, if displayed in a graph.
Default: 0 Range: 0 (opaque) to 1 (entirely transparent) Interaction: You can specify the transparency of individual graph elements by using the BACKTRANSPARENCY= and DATATRANSPARENCY= options. The value specified by the TRANSPARENCY= option is only applied to the transparencies that you do not specify individually. Interaction: In a LAYOUT OVERLAY block, the TRANSPARENCY= option only affects the bars. The LAYOUT OVERLAY statement specifies the transparency of the background of the graph. - XVALUES= LEFTPOINTS | MIDPOINTS | RIGHTPOINTS
-
specifies whether the X values represent lower endpoints, midpoints, or upper endpoints of the bins.
Default: MIDPOINTS - YVALUES= LEFTPOINTS | MIDPOINTS | RIGHTPOINTS
-
specifies whether the Y values represent lower endpoints, midpoints, or upper endpoints of the bins.
Default: MIDPOINTS
