.TEXT SET BX EDGE CLR

This subroutine sets the edge color for the "current" Text Object .

Usage:

      PASS         <color_spec_name>          FIELD            SHARE? N
      *        OR
      PASS         <color_value>              FIELD            SHARE? N
      GOSUB    0CD .TEXT SET BX EDGE CLR
      *        Check for error
      IF       0CD .TEXT SET BX EDGE CLR      NE

Description:

This subroutine sets the edge color for the "current" Text Object. Every text object is contained in a box. This allows you to set the edge color of the text box. This routine receives one optional value specifying either a <color_spec_name> or a <color_value>.

If a parameter is not received or if the value received is blank, then the edge color of the text object is cleared and the default color will be rendered.

If a parameter is received, the system first assumes that the value received is a <color_spec_name> and checks to see if a color spec record has been previously initialized with that name. If a color spec record is found, then that color spec record is used as a prototype to create a color spec for the edge color. If a color spec record is not found, then the system assumes that the value received is a literal <color_value> and uses the specified color to create a color spec for the edge color.

After setting the edge color, the edge color spec becomes the "current" color spec.

Also see .TEXT SET BX EDGE W to set the edge width and .TEXT SET BX EDGE EFF to set the edge effect.

See ColorSpec for more information on working with colors.
