Not seeing red.

Post by Tasp »

This should create a red background in the graphicbox, but it doesn't?

I mean colour is spelt wrong, but this should work?

Code: Select all

GRAPHICBOX #g.1, 1,1, 200, 200
OPEN "WINDOW" FOR WINDOW AS #g

#g.1, "BACKCOLOR RED"

END

No. I would again refer you to the LB Help manual: 'print #handle, "backcolor COLOR": This command sets the color used when drawn figures are filled with a color'. The command doesn't do any drawing itself, as you seem to expect, it sets the fill colour of a subsequently drawn figure.

So you could for example do this:

Code: Select all

GRAPHICBOX #g.1, 1,1, 200, 200
OPEN "WINDOW" FOR WINDOW AS #g

#g.1, "BACKCOLOR RED"
#g.1, "DOWN; BOXFILLED 200 200"

WAIT

I swear I have the helpfile tabs open! Hangs head in shame.
I clearly am looking but not reading.
I was actually just looking for fill.
