Setting Canvas background color

[ken_anthony]

I always search for the answer before asking questions but only found...

SetGadgetAttribute

But could not find the attribute constant required to set the background color anywhere.

So forgive me for asking, but could somebody tell me the proper constant? Thanks.

The canvas gadget doesn't have a background attribute, you can draw it yourself with a Box().

Background Color of a Canvas ? with SetGadgetAttribute ?

Never saw that. Normally its like

Code: Select all

StartDrawing(CanvasOutput(Gadget))
Box(0, 0, OutputWidth(), OutputHeight(), Color)
StopDrawing()

That worked. Well, after I figured out why it wasn't working since I resized from zero to the parent height and width (it's always something, isn't it?)

Thanks a huge bunch.

Your welcome.

> SetGadgetAttribute()

The command for setting gadget colors is SetGadgetColor().
When you look up this command in the Help manual, you'll
see that the canvas gadget doesn't support this command.

Also, when you look up the canvas gadget in the Help manual,
you'll see a list of attibutes (constants) that it supports. There
is no attribute for setting the color, for this or any other gadget.

a Canvas ist a thing to draw on , nearly like in real life, where you can buy colored canvases.
