clrCyan appears to be missing in help files

New comment
 

Hi,


I see in the code it's possible to add the color "clrCyan", but when I press F1 I can't find that option in the color palette, only "clrLightCyan":

Cyan missing

So, unlest I did something wrong, there seems to be colors missing in this help file. So I came here to inform :)


Btw, since we are already here: is there another way of seeing the available colors which isn't so messy? The above palette doesn't follow neither color, nor alphabetic order; it seems the creator just threw the colors and got away.

 

The order is: Dark top, Light bottom.

I think it looks fabulous.

Anyhow, why bother with these names? Use RGB, that way you are the creator and name giver of the color.

More or less! xD

Hmm how could that be done? I don't recall seeing instructions on using RGB

It is probably clrAqua which is Cyan. See the following colour table of HTML colours

In mql each time a color is needed you can either use a named constant or RGB values.

Read the documentation please !

Googling the RGB values of cyan, you will find 0,255,255 so:

color clr_cyan = C'0,255,255';

now just use that defined var whenever you need that color

Indeed! So in the palette, we have Aqua, but in code we can write both Cyan as well as Aqua :3 Interesting choice by MetaQuotes.

Thanks for the instructions!
