Description

Specifies the color of a document element.

Construction

colorObj = mlreportgen.dom.Color() creates a black color object.

colorObj = mlreportgen.dom.Color(colorName) creates a color object based on the specified CSS color name.

colorObj = mlreportgen.dom.Color(rgbValue) creates a color object using the hexadecimal RGB color value.

Input Arguments

colorName — Name of color

character vector

Name of a color. The name must be a CSS color name. See https://www.crockford.com/wrrrld/color.html.

rgbValue — Hexadecimal RGB (red, green, blue) color value

character vector

A character vector using the following RGB format: #RRGGBB. Use # as the first character and two-digit hexadecimal numbers each for the red, green, and blue values. For example, '#0000ff' specifies blue.

Output Arguments

colorObj — Color for document element

mlreportgen.dom.Color object

Color for document element, represented by an mlreportgen.dom.Color object.

Properties

HexValue — hexadecimal color value (read-only)

character vector

Hexadecimal number representing an RGB color value. For example, '#8b008b' specifies dark magenta. You can use either uppercase or lowercase letters as part of a hexadecimal value.

Id — ID for this document element

character vector | string scalar

ID for this document element, specified as a character vector or string scalar. The DOM generates a session-unique ID when it creates the document element. You can specify your own ID.

Tag — Tag for this document element

character vector | string scalar

Tag for this document element, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

The DOM generates a session-unique tag as part of the creation of this object. The generated tag has the form CLASS:ID, where CLASS is the object class and ID is the value of the Id property of the object. Specifying your own tag value can help you to identify where an issue occurred during document generation.

Value — CSS color name or hexadecimal RGB value for this color

character vector

Either a CSS color name or a hexadecimal RGB value.

Examples

Create and Apply a Color Object

Create a blue color object and apply it to a paragraph. Instead of specifying the CSS color name 'blue', you could use the hexadecimal value '#0000ff'.

import mlreportgen.dom.*;
doctype = 'html';
d = Document('test',doctype);

colorfulStyle = {Bold,Color('blue')};
p = Paragraph('deep sky blue paragraph');
p.Style = colorfulStyle;
append(d,p);

close(d);
rptview('test',doctype);
