Hi Guys,

I'm trying to put a watermark on my graph and therefore I was wondering if it's possible to create a transparent text label with a LabTalk script.
I was trying to work with


label Intern; //create text label "Intern"
text.color=color(0);


I found the "color(0)" code in the help file, but it doesn't work.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance,
sebbey

Hi sebbey,

You can find the object.color property in the Graphic Objects page. And the usage of the function color is not right in your script, please refer to the color function page for more details.

Hi Penn,

thanks for your answer. I know that the use of the color function in my script is not right, and I do know how to use this function (if i just want to change the color of a text for example
text.color=color(red);
)

But, if I look in the help file it says:

layer.color: Layer or worksheet heading color. Numbers from the color list, or transparent (0). ...

So I thougt it might be possible to make my text label transparent by using color(0).
Is there a way to create a transparent text label? Reading the color function page didn't really help me.

Hi Sebbey,

layer.color=0 will set the layer background color to none, which means the layer is transparent. You can set the page background with a color to see how it works. And there is no way to set the text label transparent, even using text.color=0 will not work.

Hi Penn,

ok, I'll have to think of something else than a watermark then.
Thank you for your fast reply,
