Changing the color of a symbol in report design

I need to change the color of a symbol in my log to match the color output by a bar chart vs depth element.

The issue is that in the bar chart vs depth element on my logs the data is plotted as a rectangle filled with red cross hatching. Above this on the key to my log the corresponding key (RQD) is followed by a box with BLACK cross hatching. I need the box appearing after the RQD% text to have RED cross hatching.

I have attached the properties for each element. It appears that the box following the RQD text appears via a <<DMK!89>> function. I do not know what this function does and I cannot find any properties that change the color of this feature. I have attached figures to help show the problem.

^Fig 1. The circled box needs to have red cross hatching like the lower box with the arrow pointing to it.

^ Fig 2. Same log section in report view.

^Fig 3. Properties for text element in key. The <<DMK!89>> makes the square block with cross hatching appear.

^Bar chart (RQD) properties that cause the bar chart to have red cross hatching (what I need the box in the text element to emulate).

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

  • This is tangent to your request, but I have a suggestion regarding your hatch pattern.

    Since RQD will never be greater than Recovery, that means that your RQD graphic will never plot past your REC graphic. Therefore, instead of having a hatch for REC and a separate cross hatch for RQD, you could, instead, plot your REC as you're showing but change your RQD also to a hatch, but the opposite direction as the REC hatch. Meaning if your REC is a hatch that is "diagonal left", change your RQD hatch to "diagonal right" so that where they overlap, you create a cross hatch.
