HiliteColor

Use the HiliteColor procedure to change the highlight color for the current color graphics port.

PROCEDURE HiliteColor (color: RGBColor);

color

An RGBColor record that defines the highlight color.

DESCRIPTION

The HiliteColor procedure changes the highlight color for the current color graphics port. All drawing operations that use the hilite transfer mode use the highlight color. When a color graphics port is created, its highlight color is initialized from the global variable HiliteRGB. (This information is stored in the rgbHiliteColor field of the GrafVars record, but you should never need to refer to it directly.)

If the current graphics port is a basic graphics port, HiliteColor has no effect.

The hilite mode is described in "Highlighting" beginning on page 4-33.
