  • The color and opacity of the solid color can be animated using respectively animateColor and animateOpacity.

Parameters

  • color
    Type: Color. Default: black.
  • opacity
    Type: Number. Default: 1.
    The opacity of the color. The accepted values are between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (fully opaque).

Example

Text area background
// create a background color element and add it to the document
var bColor = $.solidColor( 'red', 0.5 ).addTo( 'svg' );

// create a text area and use the background color reference for its frame attribute
$.textArea( {
    width: '90%', height: '15%', top: '75%', left: '5%', fontSize: 32, 
    frame: { backColor: bColor.ref() }
} ).text( 'Red background !' ).addTo( 'svg' );
