Conditional coloring of a line

[chughes119]

New to LabVIEW so apologize in advance if I am asking a basic question.  I'm trying to show the active path in a signal flow diagram I created on the FP by using color.  So for instance, if I have a switch (represented by a Boolean radio button control) and it is set to 1 (true) them I would like to color the line "green" for that switch path while the other path remains "black".  If I set the switch to 0 (false), I would like to do the reverse. 

Is there a way to conditionally color a line based on a Boolean value?

Property nodes.

If you attach a VI, we could poke at it and give an example of how to do it.

Sample vi attached.  Any suggestions very welcome.

Yes FP >>> decorations returns an array of all decorations and you can index out the one you want to change.

I recommend a Multi-Segment Pipe.  Unfortunately it's not on the palette.  Here's a VI with one for you to play with.  You can change the colors, size, shape, add/remove segments.
