CBORDER='color' | 'CTEXT';

color

specifies the color of the border that surrounds the text or symbol. Color is any SAS/GRAPH color name. See SAS/GRAPH Colors for more information about specifying colors.

Specifying a null value for color (CBORDER=' ') cancels the CBORDER variable.

CTEXT

draws the border in the same coloras the text or symbol. The text color is determined by (1) the COLOR variable or (2) the CTEXT=graphics option or (3) the first color in the colors list.

Functions

You can use the CBORDER variable with these functions:

LABEL

SYMBOL

Details

Once you have specified CBORDER, it remains in effect for all subsequent observations that use the LABEL or SYMBOL function and draws a border around all text or symbols. To turn off the border for subsequent text or symbols, specify CBORDER=' '.

To fill the area defined by CBORDER, use the CBOX variable in conjunction with CBORDER.
