FRAME Function

Associated Variables

COLOR='color'

specifies the frame color and, if the STYLE variable is specified, fills the interior of the frame. Color can be any SAS/GRAPH color name.

HSYS='coordinate-system'

specifies the coordinate system for the SIZE variable. See HSYS Variable for an explanation of coordinate-system.

HTML='link-string'

specifies the text that defines the link for drill-down.

LINE=1...46

specifies the line type with which to draw the frame. See Specifying Line Types for an illustration of the line types.

SIZE=line-thickness

specifies the thickness of the line with which to draw the frame. See DRAW Function for details.

STYLE='fill-pattern'

specifies the pattern that fills the area that is bounded by the frame. Fill-pattern can be the following bar and block patterns:

SOLID

S

a solid fill.

EMPTY

E

an empty fill.

style<density>

a shaded pattern:

• style can be R | X | L
• density can be 1...5

See also the discussion of fill patterns for bars and blocks in the documentation for the VALUE= option for the PATTERN Statement.

Note:Java and ActiveX support only SOLID and EMPTY. EMPTY is the default if any other value is used.

WHEN='B' | 'A'

specifies when to draw the frame in relation to other procedure output. See WHEN Variable.

XSYS='coordinate-system'

YSYS='coordinate-system'

define the area to be enclosed by the frame. See XSYS Variable and YSYS Variable for an explanation of these variables and the areas that they affect.
