drawFillColor

Type: Integer

Availability: Read or write at run time only

The drawFillColor property of the Printer class contains the color used to fill shapes drawn with the printer graphics methods. By default, the drawFillColor property is set to 0 (black).

JADE uses the RGB scheme for colors. The valid range for a normal RGB color is 0 through 16,777,215 (#FFFFFF). The high byte of a number in this range equals 0; the lower three bytes, from least to most significant byte, determine the amount of red, green, and blue, respectively. The red, green, and blue components are each represented by a number in the range 0 through 255 (#FF). If the high byte is not zero (0), JADE uses the system colors, defined in the Control Panel of the user.

When the drawFillStyle property is set to DrawFillStyle_Transparent (1), the setting of the drawFillColor property is ignored.
