844 Chapter 11 • Style Attributes

Restriction

The ABSTRACT= attribute is valid only in markup family

destinations.

ACTIVELINKCOLOR=color

specifies the color that a link in an HTML document changes to after you click it, but

before the browser opens that file.

Restriction

The ACTIVELINKCOLOR= attribute is valid only in markup family

destinations.

See

color style attribute value on page 877

ASIS=ON | OFF

specifies how to handle leading spaces and line breaks in an HTML document.

ON

prints text with leading spaces and line breaks, in the same manner as the

LISTING output.

OFF

trims leading spaces and ignores line breaks.

Default

OFF

Restriction

The ASIS= attribute is valid only in markup family destinations, printer

family destinations, and the RTF destination.

BACKGROUNDCOLOR=color

specifies the color of the background of the tables, table cells, or graphs.

Alias

BACKGROUND=

Restriction

The BACKGROUNDCOLOR= attribute is valid only in markup

family destinations, printer family destinations, and the RTF

destination.

Interaction

The CBACK= option in the SAS/GRAPH GOPTIONS statement

overrides the BACKGROUNDCOLOR= attribute.

Tip

Generally, the background color of the table cell overrides the

background color of the table. You see the background color for the

table only as the space between table cells (see

“BORDERSPACING=dimension” on page 851).

See

color style attribute value on page 877

BACKGROUNDIMAGE="string"

specifies an image in a table, table cell, or graph to use as the background. Viewers

can tile or stretch the image as the background for the HTML table or graph that the

procedure creates. For graphs, the specified image is stretched.

Style Attributes Detailed Information 845

string

is the name of a GIF, JPEG, or PNG file. Use a simple filename, a complete path,

or a URL. However, the most versatile approach is to use a simple filename and

to place all image files in the local directory.

Restriction

The BACKGROUNDIMAGE= attribute is valid in markup family

destinations, the PCL destination, and the PS destination. It is also

valid in the TAGSETS.RTF destination, but the background image

applies to the RTF document and not to a table or a table cell.

Interaction

The BACKGROUNDIMAGE= attribute is overridden by the IBACK=

and IMAGESTYLE=FIT options in the SAS/GRAPH GOPTIONS

statement.

See

string attribute value on page 881

BACKGROUNDPOSITION=position

specifies the position of the background of the tables, table cells, or graphs.

position can be one of the following:

• BOTTOM
