How do you change the color of the non plotting area of a graph programmatically?

[Russ_Evans]

I want to change the color of the NON plotting area of a waveform graph indicator in 6i. I want to do this programmatically. I know how to programmatically change the color of the plotting area, tick marks, the text colors of markers, labels etc using property nodes. My question is what about the color of the area surrounding the plotting area comprising the EDGE of the graph. Is there something staring straight at me that I don't see? Thanks in advance for your help.

Use property node for the graph. Use property plot area >> colors >> BG color.

I am looking to the change the color of the NON plotting area.

You could always make it transparent and put something behind that you can
change the colour of. If the plot area itself is opaque then (hopefully...)
there shouldn't be too much of a speed hit.

The thing behind could be something as simple as a colour box indicator and
you simply wire your desired colour to it.

Thanks for your response Craig. That worked great.

color the non-plotting area transparent and have an object behind the graph
that you color.

Thanks for the help Stu. That worked great. I was so concentrated on using a property node that I didn't even consider your approach.
