EViews.com

Hi,

I upgraded to EViews 11 today, and am having trouble changing colors in graphs. For example:

graph chart1.line series1 series2
chart1.textdefault font("Ariel",8,-b,-i,-u) textcolor(0,0,0) fillcolor(255,255,255) framecolor(255,255,255) existing

i get the following error: illegal color setting 255 in .....

It works if i change these to black/white. But adjusting other colors will be very difficult.

Am i doing anything wrong?

Thanks

The docs need to be updated but when specifying RGB colors, you need to include '@RGB()'.

Changing your line to:

should fix it.

Note: 'Arial' was misspelled in your example.

That works. Thanks for this (and for spotting the typo)
