General options

A large number of options can be used in the TITLE, FOOTNOTE, NOTE and other statements to specify how text is to be drawn on the plot. Some of these are:
COLOR=color
C=color
A wide range of hues and shades can be specified, but of course what can be drawn is subject to the limitations of the graphic device you are using. The naming conventions for colors is described in the User's Guide, Ch. 3, p. 17-28.(1)
