.XY SET BAR CLR

This subroutine sets the color of the bars at the current level or at the data point.

Usage:

      PASS         <color_spec_name>          FIELD            SHARE? N
      *        OR
      PASS         <color_value>              FIELD            SHARE? N
      PASS         <data_point_no>            FIELD            SHARE? N
      GOSUB    0CD .XY SET BAR CLR
      *        Check for error 
      IF       0CD .XY SET BAR CLR            NE

Description:

Sets the color of the bars at the current level or at the specified data point. You must have initialized the chart as an XY Chart via .CHART INITIALIZE and added a bar layer via .XY ADD BAR LAYER for this to have any effect.

This routine receives two optional parameters. The first parameter is either a <color_spec_name> or a <color_value>.

- the current data set template if there is one, or

- the current data group if there is one, or

- the current bar layer, if there is one.

You can set the color for the current data point via .XY SET BAR CLR:DP, or the current data set template via .XY SET BAR CLR:DS, or the current data group via .XY SET BAR CLR:DG or the current data layer via [[.XY SET BAR CLR:LR.

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

See ColorSpec for more information on working with colors.

See Datasets Overview for more information on data sets, data groups, and layers.
