Syntax
'TEXTCOLOR'(colornum)
'TEXTCOLOR'("colorname")
'TEXTCOLOR'(red_val,green_val,blue_val)
Description
The 'TEXTCOLOR' mnemonic sets the color for text drawn with the 'PLOTTEXT' mnemonic. It does not affect the text in controls unless the 'COLORSET' is used.
Note: On displays with fewer than 16M colors, not all of the possible RGB values can be displayed accurately. In these instances, two things are possible: 1.) in some situations, a dither is employed to simulate the desired color; 2.) the closest match to the actual color is used. Because of these, some plots might not look as expected, especially if exotic colors are used. Color problems can be minimized or avoided by using the standard colors or by using only the RGB values that are even multiples of 64.
