Integration of style element to GTL

[SAS_inquisitive]

Looking at the ocean of GTL, I am perplexed. I wonder if  there is a way STYLE template  can be integrated to GTL component or they act independently to achieve similar thing?

Here is an example to manipualte graph walls ( define style vs GTL).

/* style */

proc template ;
 define style axis_wall;
 parent=styles.listing;
 style graphwalls from graphwalls /
   frameborder=on
   linestyle=1
   linethickness=2px
   backgroundcolor=GraphColors("gwalls")
   contrastcolor= orange;
 style graphaxislines from graphaxislines /
   linestyle=1
   linethickness=2px
   contrastcolor=blue;
 end;	
run; 

ods listing style=axis_wall ;

/* GTL */

layout overlay / walldisplay=(fill);

This paper  (http://www.mwsug.org/proceedings/2013/HW/MWSUG-2013-HW05.pdf ) answers my question where style template has been created to override the default style. But when I make some changes in the style template, I can not see the effect in graph.

What specifically were you expecting to see change appearance in your myBarchart?

Have tried the HTML destination instead of Listing?

@ballardw I want to change the color graph.  I will try it in html.  Thanks !

A simpler example is easier to understand.  This works.

proc template;
  define Style myStyle;
  parent = styles.htmlBlue;
  CLASS graphdata1 /
    contrastColor=gold
    color=gold; 
  CLASS graphdata2 /
    contrastcolor=silver
    color=silver; 
  end;
run;

ods html style=mystyle;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.cars;
vbar type / group=type response=mpg_city stat=mean;
run;
