An abstract style element. Abstract elements are not explicitly used in the ODS output. They are used for
inheritance purposes only. Because of this, abstract styles will not appear in the output of destinations that
generate a style sheet.

Style Elements Affecting Template-Based
Graphics
The following style elements affect template-based graphics and can be specified by
Graph Template Language appearance options or used in styles. Template-based
graphics include all SAS/GRAPH output where a compiled ODS template of type
STATGRAPH is used to produce graphical output. Supplied templates are stored in
Sashelp.Tmplmst. Device drivers and some global statements such as SYMBOL,
PATTERN, AXIS, and LEGEND have no affect on this form of graphics. Common
SAS/GRAPH procedures that produce template-based graphics are SGPLOT,
SGPANEL, SGSCATTER, and SGRENDER in addition to many SAS/STAT,
SAS/ETS, and SAS/QC procedures. ODS graphics always produce output as image files
and use the ODS GRAPHICS statement to control the graphical environment.
Certain style elements were created to be used with specific plots or graphs. For
example, the style element GraphFit2 is best used to modify secondary fit lines. The
style element GraphConfidence2 was created to modify secondary confidence bands.
The table below lists each style element, the portion of the graph that it affects or was
created to use with, and the default attribute values. Attribute values can be changed
with PROC TEMPLATE, as stated above.

For complete documentation on the style attributes that can be specified in each style
element, see “Style Attributes Overview” in Chapter 14 of SAS 9.4 Output Delivery
