You may set the default fill color that a symbol is drawn with by using the FILL COLOR keyword in a List statement. The FILL COLOR keyword has three parameters which together define the resulting solid color. Each color parameter can have a value of 0 to 255.
The FILL COLOR command may also be used to color-code matrix cells. If you specify a stereotype property for the definition of the intersecting cell of a matrix, and then specify colors of the values in that list, then the matrix cell will reflect the colors of the values that are set.
Syntax
Value "X" depictions { fill color {X, Y, Z} }
where X, Y, and Z are a value from 0 through 255. The value X specifies how much red is contained in the color; the value Y specifies how much green is contained in the color; the value Z specifies how much blue is contained in the color.
For example, {255 0 0} is pure red, {0 255 0} is pure green, and {0 0 255} is pure blue. Other combinations can be specified to get different colors.
Example
To specify that a computer symbol of type ‘laptop’ is by default drawn red on a diagram, and that a computer symbol stereotyped as a ‘host’ is by default drawn green, you would specify the following:
List "Computer Stereotypes"
{
Value "Laptop" depictions {diagram images\laptop.wmf menu images\laptop.bmp fill color {255, 0, 0} }
Value "Host" depictions {diagram images\host.wmf menu images\host.bmp fill color {0, 255, 0} }
