Specifying Style Elements for Text Properties
The color schemes and
visual attributes for a graph come from the active ODS Style. ODS
styles consist of style elements, and each style element has its own
attributes. When you format text properties, you often have the option
to specify a style element. For example, you can select a style element
when you change the properties of titles, footnotes, and other textual
items.
The visual properties
of the item that you format are obtained from the style element that
you specify. The following display shows the default style element
for a title.
The style element determines
the specific attributes of the title, such as the font color and size.
The default value for those attributes is Auto. The Auto setting indicates
that the value is derived from the selected style element. If you
select a different style element, the Auto attributes change.
In the example, you
can select another style element from the list, or you can specify
the font attributes explicitly. You specify explicit attributes by
selecting a value other than Auto from the list boxes.
Note: When you explicitly change
an item’s attributes, the change persists regardless of the
style. If you later change the style element or the style applied
to the graph, any explicit settings that you have specified override
the new style element or style. You can revert back to the original
Auto setting if desired.
