explicitColoredPurposes

mpt explicitColoredPurposes string "purpose_names"

Description

Specifies the purposes for which only the shapes on a predefined purpose in this list will be colored by the color engine.

purpose_names specifies a list of purposes.

The default value is "", which means that coloring is applied only to shapes on the drawing and pin purposes, all user-defined purposes, and purposes for which one of these is the parent purpose. A shape on any other predefined purpose is not colored unless its purpose is specified by the coloredPurposeTypes environment variable.

The list of valid layers and purposes defined in the virtuosoDefaultMPTSetup constraint group takes precedence over the list of purposes specified in the explicitColoredPurposes environment variable.
