Hello
I am new to SAS and am in the learning phase. I encountered a code, part of it is pasted below:
ods html;
goptions reset = all border
ctext = CX000000 ftext = "MS Sans Serif" htext = 8pt
colors = (color1 color2 color3 color4
color5 color6 color7 color8
color9 color10 color11 color12);
axis1 minor = none label = ("random");
axis2 minor = none label = ("pdf_x");
order = (0 to 0.4 by 0.02);
symbol1 line =1 ci=CX0000FF cv=CX0000FF value = dot width =1 height = 6 pt
interpol = needle;
color1 to color12 are in code formats, for simplicity I have written color1-12 here
I checked help for various statements here. I have following question:
That's sort of the "old school" way to specify colors in SAS/Graph. You give it a list of colors, and then the colors are consumed "as needed". There are very few cases where you would need to use a goptions colors=() list these days. I think of these color lists as being analogous to the pens in a pen-plotter.
In more modern SAS/Graph, you can specify colors more directly (using symbol statements for gplot, and pattern statements for gchart, etc).
