Color Routines

These subroutines allow you to set or change the color of the "current object". In most cases, you have to have assigned a color to an object via some other API first. These API's allow you to further change that color. You can also pre-define the colors you want to use in your charts, and then refer to them by name. See ColorSpec for more information on working with colors.
