Color.colorname specification in 8.0 rc

[j.r.walker]

I tested 8.0 RC drawTextAbsolute, drawShape, and FunctionParameter Type=FunctionParameter.COLOR .setDefault and they all require all lowercase colorname.

http://kb.esignalcentral.com/display...L=&r=0.9069788 example shows drawTextAbsolute with Color.Blue not Color.blue.

Hi j.r.walker,

You are correct with regards to the color designations, they always have been lowercase in previous revisions and to the best of my knowledge will continue to be that way. This appears to be an error in the knowledgebase. Your link was bad, here is a link to the page I believe you were referring to.

Here is another link that refers to colors as well, note that this also includes how to set the color using the RGB value.

here is a useful utility that helps selecting the appropriate RGB Color, a small but handy zip'ed executable utility from Chris Kryza's fileshare.

FWIW, there is a trick to grabbing the link to the knowledgebase articles. When you are in the article you want to reference, select the email option in the adjacent frame to the article, and it will provide you with the appropriate link in the body of an email window.

Also, in the same frame, you can also provide feedback along these lines in the suggestions window.

Finally, your post works perfectly as well. I will pass this along to a Moderator, thanks.

Hello j.r.walker,

That was a typo in the KB article, which has been corrected. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
