Formatting single-color backgrounds of Grid/Graphs
Both the Formatting toolbar and the right-click menu provide easy access to quickly apply a background color to the Grid/Graph itself, but not to the (optional) title bar. The background of the Grid/Graph container shows only when the container is larger than the grid inside it. For more information on the container and when the background color shows, see Formatting the Grid/Graph container vs. title bar. For instructions to apply a background color to the title bar, see Formatting Grid/Graph title bars.
To use a gradient (a two-color combination) for the background, you must use either the Property List or the Format Objects dialog box. To define the background color of cells selected in a Grid/Graph used as a selector, you must use the Format Objects dialog box. For instructions, see Formatting the backgrounds of Grid/Graphs.
