SetStrokeColor (procedure)

Sets the colour of the pen used for drawing lines, boxes and other objects.

Syntax

setstrokecolor( colour )

Argument

colour

Colour array that can be expressed expressed using one, three or four values ranging from 0 to 255. For Grayscale, a single

value is used in the form [K]. For the RGB model, three values are used in the form [R, G, B]. For the CMYK model, four values

are used in the form [C, M, Y, K].

Code Sample Example

This example draws two empty rectangles of different colors.

Example

setstrokecolor([0,0,100]) %Sets stroke color to medium blue using the RGB model

rectstroke(0,0,1,1) %Draws a medium blue rectangle

setstrokecolor([0,0,255,0]) %Sets stroke color to bright yellow using the CMYK model

rectstroke(1,1,1,1) %Draws a bright yellow rectangle

SetStyle (procedure)

Sets the style to be used for all subsequent commands. The specified style must already exist in the document.

SetStyle() supercedes the SetFont() command. Although PlanetPress Talk still recognizes SetFont(), this behavior is

unlikely to continue in future versions, and it is therefore highly recommended that you use the SetStyle() command in your

scripts.

Syntax

setstyle( stylename )

Argument

stylename

Name of the style to use for all subsequent commands. The name of the style must be preceded by an ampersand. You can ref-

erence the bold, italic, or underlined versions of a font by appending the appropriate letter or letters to the name of the style.

Append .b for the bold version, .i for the italic version, .bi for the bold italic version, and .u for the underlined version.

Code Sample Example

This example displays a line of text using two different existing styles called Blackfont and Bluefont.
