Colorname Values · RGB Color Values · Fonts

This section provides information on common colorname values, specific rgb color values and fonts applicable to all Java programs.

Colorname Values

The following lists all the colornames that can be used within any Java program. The majority of these colors will appear the same (or similar) across different computing platforms.

RGB Color Values

The following lists all the main RGB color values that can be used within JClass BWT. RGB color values are specified as three numeric values representing the red, green and blue color components; these values are separated by dashes ("-").

The following RGB color values describe the colors available to Unix systems. It is recommended that you test these color values in a JClass BWT program on a Windows or Macintosh system before utilizing them.

The list begins with all of the variations of white, then blacks and greys, and then describes the full color spectrum ranging from reds to violets.

Example code: <PARAM NAME=backgroundList VALUE="(4, 5 255-255-0)">

Fonts

There are five different font names that can be specified in any Java program. They are: Note: Font names are case-sensitive.

There are also four standard font style constants that can be used. The valid Java font style constants are:

These values are strung together with dashes ("-") when used with the VALUE attribute. You must also specify a point size by adding it to other font elements. To display text using a 12-point italic Helvetica font, use the following code: 
    Helvetica-italic-12

All three elements (font name, font style and point size) must be used to specify a particular font display; otherwise, the default font is used instead.

Note: Font display may vary from system to system. If a font does not exist on a system, the default font is displayed instead.
