Color can be accessed by this formula directly. It is returned as an integer in the same format as the Colour Constants.
Color can also be accessed and controlled as a member of the Font map, with key color - see Note 2.
Font is a property which is a map type with these keys:
Ref Variable Name Example “font” Name of font “Arial” “size” Font height in logical units 5 “bold” Is Bold Yes “italic” Is Italic No “underline” Is Underlined Yes “strikeout” Is Strikeout No “weight” Weight of font in range 0 to 1000 400 is normal, 700 is bold, 0 to use default “charset” Character set GREEK_CHARSET etc, lookup system constants “color” Color for text RGB(255,0,0) for red, etc
Middleware formula constants for alignment can be used instead of needing to use magic numbers.
Predefined constants are as follows.
alignleft aligncenter alignright alignbottom alignbaseline aligntop
Examples
SetValue supports "alignh" and "alignv" to set alignment on one axis (h or v) without affecting other axis (v or h)
- SetValue("alignh", alignleft) just changes left-right alignment without altering top-bottom alignment
Also supports the following to edit both together
- SetValue("align", alignleft+alignbottom)
The variable Font is a map containing the main details of the font, with these keys recognized in the map… [as above font map definition], thereby providing the ability to control the font, size etc via a map formula.
The label font is a full formula-controlled attribute which allows formulas with defaults set at Drawing level or page level if desired
