---++ 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 [[CDChartInitialize][.CHART INITIALIZE]] and added a bar layer via [[CDXYAddBarLayer][.XY ADD BAR LAYER]] for this to have any effect.

This routine receives two optional parameters. The first parameter is either a &lt;color_spec_name&gt; or a &lt;color_value&gt;.
<div id="_mcePaste">The second parameter is the index number of the data point to set the color of.</div>

<div id="_mcePaste">If a data point is passed, the color is set for that bar. If nothing is passed, then the color applies to:</div>

- 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 [[CDXYSetBarColorDP][.XY SET BAR CLR:DP]], or the current data set template via [[CDXYSetBarColorDS][.XY SET BAR CLR:DS]], or the current data group via [[CDXYSetBarColorDG][.XY SET BAR CLR:DG]] or the current data layer via [[[[CDXYSetBarColorLR][.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 [[CDOverviewDatasetDefinition][Datasets Overview]] for more information on data sets, data groups, and layers.
