no edit summary
Specifies the color designation scheme to be used for interpretation of numerical color values.
==== Usage ====
<syntaxhighlight>[LegacyColorValue = LogicalValue]</syntaxhighlight>
Where: <syntaxhighlight> :'''LogicalValue</syntaxhighlight> ''' - a true/false value; [[True ]] = Enable; [[False ]] = Disable . ::* If the attribute is set to '''False''', or not present in the study's code, the [[RGB ]] (new) 16M color scheme will be used. ::* If LegacyColorValue the attribute is set to '''True''', the legacy (old) 16-bit, 16-color scheme will be used.
==== Notes ==== * When a color name is converted to a numerical color value, the specified scheme will be followed. * To ensure compatibility, the attribute [LegacyColorValue = True] is inserted automatically when older versions, prior to v8.1, of EasyLanguage studies are imported.
To ensure compatibility, the attribute [LegacyColorValue = True] is inserted automatically when older versions, prior to v8.1, of EasyLanguage studies are imported. ==== Example ==Examples ==
Enable legacy color value interpretation:
<syntaxhighlight>[LegacyColorValue = True];</syntaxhighlight>
 Create a [[Green ]] color plot using the legacy color scheme:
<syntaxhighlight>[LegacyColorValue = True];
Plot1(Open);
 
SetPlotColor(1,4);</syntaxhighlight>
 Create a Green color plot using the [[RGB ]] color scheme:
<syntaxhighlight>[LegacyColorValue = False];
Plot1(Open);
 
SetPlotColor(1,65280);</syntaxhighlight>
 
Assign a value, representing the color Green under the legacy color scheme, to Value1 (Value1 will be assigned a value of 4):
<syntaxhighlight>[LegacyColorValue = True];
Value1=Green;</syntaxhighlight>  
Assign a value, representing the color Green under the RGB color scheme, to Value1 (Value1 will be assigned a value of 65280):
<syntaxhighlight>[LegacyColorValue = False];
Value1=Green;</syntaxhighlight>
