The graphs
that are produced by the analytical procedures are created from compiled
STATGRAPH templates written in GTL. For each graph that is created
by a procedure, a template has been defined by the procedure writers
and shipped with SAS. These templates can be found in the appropriate
sub-folder of the SASHELP.TMPLMST item store (issue the ODSTEMPLATE
command to open the
Templates window). Users
wanting to make persistent changes to these automatic graphics can
do so by editing and recompiling these definitions of the graphs.
Understanding the structure of these templates requires knowledge
of GTL, as described in this User's Guide. Changes to these templates
should follow the guidelines presented in the discussion on statistical
graphics using ODS in the
SAS/STAT User's Guide.
