VIZSTYLESHEET Keyword (SIMRUN command)

The VIZSTYLESHEET keyword specifies an existing visualization style sheet and applies it to all charts that are generated from the current SIMRUN command.

The keyword is followed by an equals sign (=) and the name of the style sheet in quotation marks. By default, SIMRUN looks for a built-in or imported template that is stored on the local workstation. This default behavior is equivalent to appending the qualifier [LOCATION=LOCAL] to the quoted style sheet name. To use a style sheet in a IBM® SPSS® Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository, append the qualifier [LOCATION="repository folderspec"] to the quoted style sheet name. For more information about IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository file specifications, see File Specifications for IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository Objects. The IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository file specification is enclosed in quotation marks.

Note: The square brackets that are shown in the specification for the LOCATION keyword are required and are not used to indicate an optional element.

New Style sheets can be created with the separate IBM SPSS Visualization Designer product. The SIMRUN command can reference these style sheets if they are stored in the IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository or if they are imported by using the Graphboard Template Chooser. You can access the Template Chooser by selecting Graphboard Template Chooser from the Graphs menu.

"style sheet name": Apply the specified style sheet.

Note: The VIZSTYLESHEET keyword is ignored when data are generated in the absence of a predictive model.
