Set "pre-defined" colors

[jfoster4731]

Hello,

I am writing a program to make a graph. E-views 8 has a set of predefined colors: blue, red, green, etc, and it is also possible to select colours using @RGB(#,#,#). Is there a way to use the @RGB command to set a predefined color? For example,

setcolor cyan @RGB(225,225,255)

Then I can just write "cyan" wherever I would like that colour.

Thank you

There is not, no.

You might be better off using templates, if you're using the same colours a lot.

or, you could always do something like:

Code: Select all

%cyan = "@RGB(225,225,255)"

and then use {%cyan} wherever @rgb is expected.

Thank you Gareth,

That works great.
