Changing colors

To change the color of an object or text:

  1. In the Paper Layout view, click the object(s). Tip: To select multiple objects, click one object, then Shift-click all other objects.   To select all objects, choose Editright arrowSelect All.

  2. Click the Fill Color tool (the Fill Color tool), the Line Color tool (the Line Color tool), or the Text Color tool (the Text Color tool) in the tool palette, depending on which part of the object you want to apply a color to.

    Note: The Fill/Line/Text Display, the box directly above the three Color tools, shows the currently selected fill, border, and text. The default fill and border for objects created by Reports Builder is transparent, while the default for objects you create is a black, one-point line around a white fill.

  3. On the color palette, click a color.

To change the color of an object using PL/SQL instead of the user interface:

  1. In the Object Navigator, expand the Paper Layout node.

  2. Double-click the PL/SQL icon (the PL/SQL icon) next to the object for which you want to change the color.

  3. In the PL/SQL Editor, use the following built-in procedures to change the color of the object as desired:

    SRW.SET_BORDER_PATTER
