Color background of cell boxes

When I used to use Excel, I was able to color in the cell to a certain color. How do I do that with Numbers?

Of course, the response is available in the Help as well as in tha PDF User Guide.
It just requires the use of really complicated keyword "Background" or this more complex "color AND cell"

Can you no longer have a background color for the text box in the new version of hp photo creations

just updated to the new version of HP Photo Creations, used to be able to have a colored background for the text box - is that no longer possible in this new (not better) version????!!!!! Uuuuuuuuuugh

Hi Lainey.
Thanks for asking. We're working on bringing back that feature. In the meantime, here's another way to add text backgrounds: Add a placeable graphic and then click the Arrange button to send it to the back, behind the text.
That approach also gives you more interesting shapes. The new alignment guides make it a snap to align a graphic with a text box. In the example below (it may take a day for the image to show up here), I also used the new Premium Editing Features to change the color of the graphic.
P.S. — Applying a thick border to an empty text box (also using the Premium Editing Features) is another way to create a background shape. That has the advantage of letting you pick any color for the box. You'll also find several new text styles at the bottom of the new text menu.
Let us know if we can help further,

How to change the background color of a cell in datagrid using flex3

i want to change the background color of a cell.....how can i achieve this.....and also i want to know how a spacing cane be done between cells in a datagrid...plzzz help me???

The only way I can see to do this is to use an item renderer for your cells. This is really scruffy and would need tyding up, and maybe with a little more time could do better or someone else may have an idea but none the less this works.
Define a custom component as below;
This has logic to see what the value of the data is proveided by the dataprovider for the row, and if it matches the conditions in this case is equal to 5 sets the background color.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="88" height="26" dataChange="doColor()" borderColor="#000000" borderStyle="solid"
    backgroundAlpha="1">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            private function doColor():void {
                if (data.value == 5) {
                    setStyle('backgroundColor', 0xcccccc);
                } else {
                    setStyle('backgroundColor', 0xffffff);
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
</mx:Canvas>
Now just apply the item renderer in the datagrid and that will do it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

                {value : 7},
                {value : 8},
                {value : 9},
                {value : 10}
      ]]>
    </mx:Script>

            <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 1" dataField="value" itemRenderer="MyComp"/>
            <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 2" dataField="col2"/>
            <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 3" dataField="col3"/>
        </mx:columns>
    </mx:DataGrid>

I hope this helps

Change the background color of a cell in JTable

Hi all,
How can I change the background color of individual cell in JTable. I need to construct my own TableCellRenderer or not? I'm now using the DefaultTableCellRenderer now.
Thx

You could create your own renderer or you could try something like:
table = new JTable(model)
     public TableCellRenderer getCellRenderer(int row, int column)
          DefaultTableCellRenderer tcr =
           (DefaultTableCellRenderer)super.getCellRenderer(row, column);
          if (row == 1 && column == 1)
               tcr.setBackground(Color.green);
          else
               tcr.setBackground(Color.red);
          return tcr;
};

How to control background color of table cell in an html report?

I am using Labview 6.1 to generate a report. In that report there is a table created using the Append Numeric Table to Report VI. I want to be able to programmatically control the background color of each cell in the table. Also, how can I programmatically control the background color of the row and header cells of the same table. I am also generating a second table in the same report using the Append Text Table to Report VI and I would like to programmatically control the background colors of the cells in that table as well. Thanks.

Hi epsilon-d...,
i´m not sure if there is an ready to use function to do what you want, but you can enlarge the available function. Open the "Append Numeric Table to Report.vi" and go to the HTML Case. There you can see another vi which creates the html table. In the VI "HTML Report Table Row" you can add the option: bgcolor="your color" inside of the "TR" tag.
Hope it helps.

Full screen images aren't loading and full screen color background boxes are cropping horizontally. I'm forced to make my images a full screen slide show (of 1 image) to make it work, but then I lose the option to pin the image. Am I alone in this?

Background color of the cell in EXCEL not working....Pls help..

Hi gurus,
I have written a procedure to change the background color of the cell in EXCEL.The code is as below..
PROCEDURE set_header     (p_row IN NUMBER, p_col IN NUMBER, p_value IN VARCHAR2, p_border IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'N',p_bgcolor IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'N') IS
BEGIN
     v_args     := ole2.create_arglist;
     ole2.add_arg(v_args, p_row);
     ole2.add_arg(v_args, p_col);
     v_cell     := ole2.get_obj_property(v_worksheet, 'cells', v_args);
     v_font     := ole2.get_obj_property(v_cell, 'font');
     ole2.set_property(v_font, 'fontstyle', 'bold');
     ole2.set_property(v_font, 'size', 9);
     ole2.destroy_arglist(v_args);
     if p_border = 'Y' THEN
          v_border := ole2.get_obj_property(v_cell, 'Borders');
          ole2.set_property(v_border, 'LineStyle', 1);
          ole2.release_obj(v_border);
     End If;
     if p_bgcolor ='Y' THEN
          v_bgcolor := ole2.get_obj_property(v_cell,'Bgcolor'); --This is not woking
          ole2.set_property(v_bgcolor,'bgcolor','red');
          ole2.release_obj(v_bgcolor);
     End If;
          ole2.set_property(v_cell, 'value', p_value);
          ole2.release_obj(v_cell);
     END set_header;
Pls tell me how to change the backcolor and forecolor in the cell...
Thanks

The background color is set for the "Interior" object of the selected cells (Range).
Try something like this (haven't tested it):
v_interior := ole2.get_obj_property(v_cell,'Interior');
ole2.set_property(v_interior,'ColorIndex',3); --should be red
ole2.release_obj(v_interior);
If the Foreground color = Font Color then
ole2.set_property(v_font,'ColorIndex',6); --should be yellow

I have a png that I've placed on a solid color background and it looks fine on the screen. When I print it, I see the faded ghost of it's bounding box.

I have a png that I've placed on a solid color background and it looks fine on the screen. When I print it, I see the faded ghost of it's bounding box. Basically, it losing at least part of the transparency in the file, but only when it goes to print. This happens whether I print it from illustrator, Indesign, or a pdf. If I open and print it from Photoshop it's fine. Is there some sort of setting that needs to be changed?
I'm posting a photo of the result.

Can you post the png so we can take a look at it?

White numbers on colored background?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask but couldn't find anywhere appropriate...
I am searching for a way to print white numbers on a colored background. Best I can tell the average printer can not print white ink. So that makes me believe I need to print the background on white paper so that the numbers look white. Is that correct? Is there a way to do this? I don't know Photoshop at all and was hoping I could do it with MSWord or something like that. Any ideas?

The link worked in Safari when I posted it, but they are converting content on the site, and since that date they've converted that page to a safari-unfriendly format.
If you go to the link in Firefox, it works. I just did it. I tried to copy the info and post it here for you, but was unable to. So, I have copied (by hand UGH!) the info below:
The color of text is a font attribute. The color of the background is a paragraph or table cell shading attribute.
1. Select the paragraphs where you want to make the change. (Highlight all the text.)
2. Choose Borders and Shading on the Format menu, click the Shading tab at the top of the dialogue box, and set the paragraph shading to black.
3. Choose Font on the Format menu and set the font to white.
Hope after all this, that (a) you have MS Word and (2) the steps set forth above work for you. Let us know how it goes.

If you have a different color for every cell in the table, then maybe it would be easier to store a custom Object in the TableModel that has two pieces of information:
a) the text to be displayed
b) the background color of the text.
Then you can write a custom renderer that uses both pieces of information to renderer the cell correctly.
Here is an untested example of what the custom renderer might look like:
class ColorRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer
     public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(
               JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column)
          super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
          CustomObject custom = (CustomObject)value;
          setText( custom.getText() );
          if (!isSelected)
               setBackground( custom.getBackground() );
          return this;
}

Set color of specific cells in JTable.

I have a JTable where I want to set the color for specific cells. Is this possible to do, and if so, how?

Well, one way is to create a custom renderer that know the background color of each cell in the table. The Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html#renderer]How to Use Table has an example you might be able to build on.
Or, this posting may give you another approach. The key to both solutions is to somehow specify the color for every cell:

How do you change the colors of individual cells within a 2D array?

How do you change the colors of individual cells within a 2D array of numeric indicators?
I want the VI to check a data value and if it is failing, white out a square at a specific index coordinate. I have it working with color boxes, but I'm not sure how to use the property node function, to change the color of individual cells, by coordinates.
I have attached the VI using color boxes. If you run the VI, the box corresponding to the Step control should turn white.
I want to do the same thing, using numeric indicator boxes inside the array.
Thanks for any suggestions...

Get rid of all these sequences! That's just bad form.
Your code has a few logical problems. Why do you create a boolean array if you later only look at the last element (Yes, the FOR loop does nothing useful, except in the last iteration because your outputs are not indexing. All other iterations are useless, you only get the result of the last array element. My guess is that you want to color the index white if at least one of the numbers is out if range. Right?
It is an absolute nightmare to manage all your numeric labels. Just read them from a 2D array. Now you can simply find the index of the matched elements and don't have to spend hours editing case structure conditions.
Attached is a simple example how you would do what I meant (LV7.1). Modify as needed.
