I want something like the code below.

Is there any way to do this?

Code: Select all

if true 
  variable=RGB(0,200,0)
else
  variable=RGB(0,0,0)
endif

frontcolor(variable)

Check the 'Misc' library in the reference manual, there is all you want to know!
you could do it like this:

Code: Select all

if true 
  variable=RGB(0,200,0)
else
  variable=RGB(0,0,0)
endif
frontcolor(Red(variable),Green(variable),Blue(variable))

A lot of the drawing commands also have an optional color parameter, so instead of using:

Code: Select all

FrontColor(Red(variable), Green(variable), Blue(variable))
Plot(x,y)

You can do this:

Code: Select all

Plot(x,y,variable)

Doing it like this is quicker (well, for plotting anyway in some cases, and if the drawing commands you are using support it, it may be worth a look.

It would be nice if Drawtext has the color option, just like circle.

So, Fred would it be possible to add color options to all drawing commands?
