---++ 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 &lt;color_spec_name&gt; or a &lt;color_value&gt;.

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 &lt;color_spec_name&gt; 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 &lt;color_value&gt; 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 [[CDTextSetBoxEdgeWidth][.TEXT SET BX EDGE W]] to set the edge width and [[CDTextSetBoxEdgeEffect][.TEXT SET BX EDGE EFF]] to set the edge effect.

See ColorSpec for more information on working with colors.
