change the font and border color in SGPLOT

Hi All,

I'm using Proc Template to change the style of an sgplot, however with the below code the border colors aren't changing and I need to know how to add the code in to change the color of the text to white.

Proc Template;
	define style styles.defstyle;
		parent=styles.default;
		style body from body / 
			backgroundcolor=white;
		class graphgridlines / 
			contrastcolor=white;
		class graphbackground / 
			color=dabg;
		class graphwalls / 
			color=dabg;
		 
	end;
run;

this is the current output

any help appreciated.

Hi:
It depends on what you want to change to white text....titles, labels, legends, footnotes ... there are style elements for each "piece" of the image. But you can start here: https://go.documentation.sas.com/?cdcId=pgmsascdc&cdcVersion=9.4_3.4&docsetId=grstatug&docsetTarget=n1o90tknm7aywjn1angcb5ojglgs.htm&locale=en and look for style elements like GraphAxisLines, GraphDataText and GraphLabelText.
