assigning color to a variable

[Foz]

Quick question: Is it possible to assign a color to a variable? I've tried things like var MyColor = Color.blue to no avail. Perhaps the best that can be done is var MyR = 0; var MyG=0; var MyB=255; and use Color.RGB(MyR, MyG, MyB)?

I want to have the color of various different bits of text on my charts depend on their values without having to duplicate the whole drawTextAbsolute statement for each color.

Yes, you can do exactly what you described:

var nColor = Color.blue;

...and then use nColor as a parameter to any function (such as the drawText/drawLine functions) that have color parameters.

Ah, thanks, Chris. I had previously tried that and got an error. I must have done something else stupid -- like leaving out the semi-colon or something. Now I've got it working.
