It is not possible to change the background color of a RadarScreen cell in the symbol column using TradeStation EasyLanguage. The background color of this column can be set as a property of the RadarScreen settings page but not programmatically.

But what if you needed more control over the plot colors, for example, to provide a visual alert? Tutorial 183 demonstrates a way of achieving this by replotting information and then using the SetPlotBGColor keyword to change the background color.

Tutorial 183 demonstrates how to:
1. Change the color of a complete column
2. Change the color of specific cells based on the symbol name or a value
3. Make cells flash on and off
4. Change the color of cells when they are clicked

The tutorial uses the quotes provider, the timer and the RadarScreen host provider (as well as TradeStation RadarScreen).
