Using the Color List Box

When you specify different graph, plot, or annotation properties, you might have the option to select a color from a color list box. The color list box contains predefined colors to choose from and the option to define your own color. You can also pick an existing color from the graph.

The color list box contains the following items:

Auto

Restore the default color. This field is useful when you have changed a color and want to restore the original color.

Palette of colors

Select a predefined color from the palette.

Row of recently used custom colors

Select a custom color. This row is populated with colors that you choose by using either the More Colors or the Pick color from graph option.

More colors

Locate a custom color. This option opens the More Colors dialog box, which contains two tabs:

	In the Swatches tab, select a color from the palette.
	In the Custom tab, choose a color by dragging the slider and then picking a point in the color preview box. Alternatively, you can specify the HSB, RBG, or hexadecimal color value.

Pick color from graph

After you click this link, the color list box closes. You can then select any of the colors currently displayed in the graph by clicking the desired color.
