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".
