Using more than one foregroundcolor in figure? [message #640579]

Hi Experts Smile

I am trying to draw different lines and each line should have its own color.

I have a little example that shows what I am trying:

import org.eclipse.draw2d.ColorConstants;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.Graphics;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.RectangleFigure;
import org.eclipse.draw2d.geometry.Rectangle;

public class ColorLines extends RectangleFigure {

	@Override
	protected void fillShape(Graphics graphics) {
		Rectangle bounds = this.getBounds().getCopy();
		this.setBackgroundColor(ColorConstants.green);
		super.fillShape(graphics);
		this.setForegroundColor(ColorConstants.blue);
		graphics.drawLine(bounds.x, bounds.y, bounds.x+bounds.width, bounds.y+bounds.height);
		this.setForegroundColor(ColorConstants.red);
		graphics.drawLine(bounds.x+bounds.width, bounds.y, bounds.x, bounds.y+bounds.height);
	}
}

Anyway what I get out of this is a rectangle with a green background color which is correct, but all the two lines inside have the same color as the last set foregroundcolor. (red).

So is i not possible to use multipleforeground colors while drawing?.
If it is possible how do I fix it?

Thanks alot for your time and help!

Regards Mikkel

You should set the color on the graphics object:

graphics.setForegroundColor(Color rgb);
