IBACK=fileref | 'external-file' | 'URL'| " "

Parameter Values

fileref: specifies a fileref that points to the image file that you want to use. Fileref must be a valid SAS fileref up to eight characters long and must have been previously assigned with a FILENAME statement.

external-file: specifies the complete filename of the image file that you want to use. The format of external-file varies across operating environments.

URL: specifies the URL of the image file that you want to use.

Details

The image can be used with any procedures that produce a picture or support the CBACK= option. The IBACK option is supported by the Graph applet and the Map applet, but it is not supported by the Contour applet. See Introducing SAS/GRAPH Output for the Web for information about these applets.

This option overrides the BackGroundImage and Image styles attribute in the graph styles. To suppress a background image that is defined in a style or to reset the value of the IBACK= option, specify a blank space:

IBACK=" "

For more information about graph styles, refer to the TEMPLATE procedure documentation in SAS Output Delivery System: User's Guide.
