Hi, I am drawing a text label using AddAndManageSingleTextDrawingForStudy, which is working fine. What I would like to do is dynamically change the text/background colors of the label, depending on some threshold values. I am uncertain how to dynamically change the text/background colors of the label because at the moment they come from the subgraph primary/secondary colors. Is there a way to use the subgraph colors as the default and then override the label's text/background colors dynamically? Or do I need to create separate subgraphs for each set of threshold colors and just specify the relevant subgraph to change the label colors? |

Replying to my own question, to help anyone else with a similar question. I ended up creating multiple subgraphs, with different primary/secondary color combinations, and then just use the relevant subgraph each time I call AddAndManageSingleTextDrawingForStudy, and it seems to be working. |

You can set the subgraph colors outside the Set Defaults block, so you don't need extra subgraphs just to change colors.
