<?tbcbgc>
Description
The <?tbcbgc> command allows the setting of a background color for a cell, and can be used in two ways.
With the first form, a background property is set as one of a list of background properties, as follows:
• Specify the total number of cell backgrounds using the num parameter (this will increase by one every time you add a new background property)
• Define the number of the background color in the list of background colors via the bnum parameter
• Set the details of the background color using the color and flags parameters.
This allows you to override a particular background color provided the new color is set as one of the total number of backgrounds.
The <?tbcbgc> command can also be used to override the background for the current cell without the need to specify any condition flags and will automatically override earlier <?tbcbgc> commands. in this case, use the syntax <?tbcbgc="color">.
this command can also be specified as <?tbcellbgcolor>.
Example 397. Set the cell background color for specific cells in a table
The command below will apply a background color to the cells at the top of the table
<?tbcbgc 1(1,"80%","?t")>
Whereas this command will apply a background color to cells that are not at the bottom of the table:
<?tbcbgc 1(1,"80%","~?b")>
The command below will apply the background color to a cell 3 columns across and 2 rows down from the top left corner of the table:
<?tbcbgc 1(1,"80%","x=3y=2")>
Example 398. Set multiple cell background colors for specific cells in a table
The command below will apply a background color to 3 specific cells in the table, each identified via individual location coordinates:
<?tbcbgc 3(1,"cyan,"x=1y=1") (2,"80%","x=3y=2") (3,
"magenta","x=5y=4")>
Syntax
<?tbcbgc num:n? bnum:n? color:c flags:s?>
num | The total number of cell backgrounds |
bnum | The number of the background in the list of background properties |
colour | The required background color of the cell, either in name format e.g. "red" or (r,g,b) format: must be defined in double quotes. |
flags | The positioning of the background color t | Top row | b | Bottom row | l | Leftmost column | r | Rightmost column | x | Column number for cell coordinates, e.g. x=3 | y | Row number for cell coordinates, e.g. y=2 |
Must be defined in double quotes. |
