6.2.2. Color Definitions

Colors must be defined for each report writer report definition. We will assign our color definitions to the bars, lines, points that define to display the graph.

To define colors:

  • Pull down the report writer's Document menu.

  • Click on the option Color Definitions.

You will see the Color Definitions screen:

Assigning names to bars, lines, and points

The Color Definitions screen enables you to add, edit, and delete a color. To add a color, click the ADD button. The report writer displays the Color Editor screen. You may define a color in two ways:

  • If you know the levels of red, green, and blue that define the color you want simply enter the color's name, fill in the values in the Components fields, and click the OK button.

  • You may also have the component values filled in for you by entering the name for your color and clicking the COLOR button. This displays the Select Color screen which provides a color palette.

Selecting Colors

You may use the color palette to select the exact color you want to define. When you click the OK button, you are returned to the Color Editor screen. The color component values are filled in for you based on your selection.
