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.
