Color Page

The Color page in the Visual Properties window for an RBD block or a Markov state displays the color of different elements in the block or state. The color properties for a block and state are basically the same. When the Visual Properties window is for a specific block or state in a diagram, the properties on the Color page are available only if Bind to style has been cleared on the General page.

The following table describes the properties on the Color page. Several of these properties use the color control or the opacity control. For more information, see Using the Color Control. or Using the Opacity Control.
