return-code-variable=GSET('TEXCOLOR', color-index);

Description

The GSET('TEXCOLOR', . . . ) function selects the color for text. The aspect source flag (ASF) of TEXCOLOR must be set to 'INDIVIDUAL' for this attribute to be used outside of a text bundle.

The value of GSET('TEXCOLOR', . . . ) can be used in a text bundle. See the TEXREP for information on how to define a text bundle.

DSGI searches for a color specification in the following order:

the color specified for the index in a GSET('COLREP', . . . ) function
the nth color from the color list of the COLORS= graphics option
the nth color in the device's default color list found in the device entry.
