List of Rectangles

You can change the color of a rectangle according to the current value of a data tag register.

After you place the element, click on Properties> Rectangles List > Collections.

Click Add New Rectangle, and then click the drop-down arrow to select colors for each index number. The value within the linked data tag operand 'points' to an index number within the list.  When the operand value is equal to a particular number, the associated color is shown in the Display.
