This example shows how a sas bar chart can be color-coordinated
with a background (slide) graphic, to make it fit in nicely with
other slide-show slides.

I started with one of the typical slideshow background images,
with the sas logo, and the blue & yellow "swooshey" background.
I then brought up the image in a color editor, and found out the
RGB hex codes for several of the colors & shades used in the slide.

I then set up pattern statements to use those colors in a grouped
bar chart, so it would be color-coordinated with the background.
Here are the patten statements ...

 pattern1 v=s c=cx003397;
 pattern2 v=s c=cx847f8a;
 pattern3 v=s c=cx023269;
 pattern4 v=s c=cx6d6a84;
 pattern5 v=s c=cxc99908;
 pattern6 v=s c=cxffcb08;
 pattern7 v=s c=cxcac8f4;
 pattern8 v=s c=cx066cd2;

I used 'notes' rather than titles, to be able to control the position
of the title-like note text, and I used the 'iback' goption to 
put the image behind the bar chart.
