Syntax

CALL NOTIFY (orgchart-name, '_setColor', color-var, color<, nodetype<, node-id>>);

Argument Type Description

color-var C specifies the node variable to be assigned the color:

'BACKGROUND_COLOR'

'BORDER_COLOR'

'FOREGROUND_COLOR'

'LINE_COLOR'

color
C specifies a color

nodetype
N specifies the index of the node type. If node-id is specified, specify a missing value for nodetype. If omitted, missing, or 0, all existing node types use the specified color.

node-id
N specifies the numeric identifier of a single node whose color you want to set. Ignored if nodetype is given.

Details

If you omit both the nodetype and the node-id arguments from the _setColor method, the default value for all node types are changed. If you omit the node-id argument, then the default color for the particular node type is changed.

If a node-id is included in the arguments, then the node-specific color values are changed, overriding any default value.

Example

This example sets the colors of all nodes of type 1:

call notify('org1','_set_color_',
            'background_color','black',1);
call notify('org1','_set_color_',
            'foreground_color','white',1);
call notify('org1','_set_color_',
            'border_color',    'gray', 1);
call notify('org1','_set_color_',
           'line_color',      'red',  1);

This example sets the background color for the node whose identifier is stored in the variable NODEID. Because this statement assigns a color to a specific node, a missing value is given for nodetype:

call notify('org1', '_set_color_',
            'background_color', 'blue', .
            ,nodeid);
