The box or table of summary information produced on plots made with the PROBPLOT or MCFPLOT statement is called an inset. You can use the INSET statement to customize the appearance of the inset box and the information that is printed in the inset box. To supply the information that is displayed in the inset box, you specify a keyword that corresponds to the information you want shown. For example, the following statements produce a Weibull plot with the sample size, the number of failures, and the Weibull mean displayed in the inset:

proc reliability data=fan;     
   distribution Weibull;       
   pplot lifetime*censor(1);   
   inset n nfail weibull(mean);
run;

By default, inset entries are identified with appropriate labels. However, you can provide a customized label by specifying the keyword for that entry followed by the equal sign (=) and the label in quotes. For example, the following INSET statement produces an inset that contains the sample size and Weibull mean, labeled “Sample Size” and “Weibull Mean” in the inset:

inset n='Sample Size' weibull(mean='Weibull Mean');

If you specify a keyword that does not apply to the plot you are creating, then the keyword is ignored.

The options control the appearance of the box.

If you specify more than one INSET statement, only the last one is used.

Keywords Used in the INSET Statement

Table 16.11 through Table 16.13 list keywords available in the INSET statement to display summary statistics, distribution parameters, and distribution fitting information.

Options Used in the INSET Statement

Table 16.14 through Table 16.17 list INSET statement options that control the appearance of the inset box.

Table 16.14 lists options that control the appearance of the box when you use traditional graphics.

Table 16.14: General Appearance Options (Traditional Graphics)

Option	Option Description
HEADER=’quoted-string’	Specifies text for header or box title.
NOFRAME	Omits frame around box.
POS=value
<DATA \| PERCENT>	Determines the position of the inset. The value can be a compass point (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) or a pair of coordinates enclosed in parentheses. The coordinates can be specified in axis percent units or axis data units.
REFPOINT=name	Specifies the reference point for an inset that is positioned by a pair of coordinates with the POS= option. You use the REFPOINT= option in conjunction with the POS= coordinates. name specifies which corner of the inset frame you have specified with coordinates ; it can take the value of BR (bottom right), BL (bottom left), TR (top right), or TL (top left). The default is REFPOINT=BL. If the inset position is specified as a compass point, then the REFPOINT= option is ignored.

Table 16.15 lists options that control the appearance of the box when you use ODS Graphics.

Table 16.15: General Appearance Options (ODS Graphics)

Option	Option Description
HEADER=’quoted-string’	Specifies text for header or box title.
NOFRAME	Omits frame around box.
POS=value	Determines the position of the inset. The value can be a compass point (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW).

Table 16.16 lists options that control the appearance of the text within the box when you use traditional graphics. These options are not available if ODS Graphics is enabled.

Table 16.16: Text Enhancement Options (Traditional Graphics)

Option	Option Description
FONT=font	Software font for text
HEIGHT=value	Height of text

Table 16.17 lists options that control the colors and patterns used in the box when you use traditional graphics. These options are not available if ODS Graphics is enabled.

Table 16.17: Color and Pattern Options (Traditional Graphics)

Option	Option Description
CFILL=color	Color for filling box
CFILLH=color	Color for filling box header
CFRAME=color	Color for frame
CHEADER=color	Color for text in header
CTEXT=color	Color for text
