## SetDataLabelColor

SetDataLabelColor — Set the color for data labels

## Synopsis

    $plot->SetDataLabelColor($color)

## Description

`SetDataLabelColor` sets the color which is used for data labels. This includes X axis data labels (for vertical plots) or Y axis data labels (for horizontal plots). It also includes Data Value Labels, which show the values of data points or bars within the plot area, unless overridden by SetDataValueLabelColor.

## Parameters

`$color`

  Color value to use. See Section 3.5, “Colors” for more on color values.

## Notes

If `SetDataLabelColor` is not used, data labels are drawn using the general text color set with SetTextColor. If neither `SetDataLabelColor` nor `SetTextColor` is used, the default color is black.

See also Section 3.6, “Labels” for information about different label types.

PHPlot has a deprecated function called `SetLabelColor`. Do not use this function. It does not set the color used for labels.

## History

This function was added in PHPlot-5.7.0. In earlier releases, the data label colors could only be set using SetTextColor, which also changed the color of other elements.
