Colors, Styles, and Device Parameters

The appearance of SAS/GRAPH output is determined by the current ODS style by default. Styles set the overall appearance of your output, including the colors and fonts that are used. Some styles also add an image to the background of your graphs.

You can turn off the use of styles if needed. In this case, the default appearance of your output is controlled by device entry parameters. See Style Attributes Versus Device Entry Parameters and Turning Off Styles for more information.

Whether you are using ODS styles or using device parameters, you can override the default colors and change them as described in Specifying Colors in SAS/GRAPH Programs. You can add images to your output as described in Adding Images To SAS/GRAPH Output.
