Dictionary of Options
The following entries provide detailed descriptions of
options for the INSET statement. Terms used in this
section are illustrated in Figure 28.4.
Figure 28.4: The Inset
- CFILL=color | BLANK
-
specifies the color of the background (including the
header background if you do not specify the CFILLH= option).
If you do not specify the CFILL= option, then, by default,
the background is empty. This means that items that
overlap the inset (such as subgroup data points or
control limits) show through the inset. If you
specify any value for the CFILL= option,
then overlapping items no longer show through the inset.
Specify CFILL=BLANK to leave the background uncolored
and also to prevent items from showing through the inset.
- CFILLH=color
-
specifies the color of the header background. By
default, if you do not specify a CFILLH= color, the
CFILL= color is used.
- CFRAME=color
-
specifies the color of the frame. By default, the
frame is the same color as the axis of the plot.
- CHEADER=color
-
specifies the color of the header text. By default, if
you do not specify a CHEADER= color, the CTEXT= color is used.
- CSHADOW=color
- CS=color
-
specifies the color of the drop shadow. See
Figure 28.3 for an example.
By default, if you do not specify the CSHADOW= option,
a drop shadow is not displayed.
- CTEXT=color
- CT=color
-
specifies the color of the text. By default, the inset
text color is the same as the other text on the plot.
- DATA
-
specifies that data coordinates are to be used in
positioning the inset with the POSITION= option. The
DATA option is available only when you specify
POSITION=(x,y), and it must be placed immediately after
the coordinates (x,y). For details, see the entry for
the POSITION= option or "Positioning the Inset Using Coordinates". See
Figure 28.7 for an
example.
- FONT=font
-
specifies the font of the text. By default, the font
is SIMPLEX if the inset is located in the interior of
the plot, and the font is the same as the other text
displayed on the plot if the inset is located in the
exterior of the plot.
- FORMAT=format
-
specifies a format for all the values displayed in
an inset. If you specify a format for a particular
statistic, then this format overrides the format
you specified with the FORMAT= option.
- HEADER= 'string'
-
specifies the header text. The string cannot
exceed 40 characters. If you do not specify the HEADER=
option, no header line appears in the inset.
- HEIGHT=value
-
specifies the height of the text.
- NOFRAME
-
suppresses the frame drawn around the text.
- POSITION=position
- POS=position
-
determines the position of the inset. The position
can be a compass point keyword, a margin keyword, or a
pair of coordinates (x,y). You can specify coordinates
in axis percent units or axis data units.
For more information, see "Details".
By default, POSITION=NW, which positions the
inset in the upper left (northwest) corner of the display.
- REFPOINT=BR | BL | TR | TL
- RP=BR | BL | TR | TL
-
specifies the reference point for an inset that is
positioned by a pair of coordinates with the POSITION=
option. Use the REFPOINT= option
with POSITION= coordinates. The REFPOINT= option
specifies which corner of the inset frame you want
positioned at coordinates (x,y). The keywords BL, BR,
TL, and TR represent bottom left, bottom right, top left,
and top right, respectively. See Figure 28.8
for an example. The default is REFPOINT=BL.
If you specify the position of the inset as a compass
point or margin keyword, the REFPOINT= option is ignored.
For more information, see "Positioning the Inset Using Coordinates".
