PEN Table exception to make fill/backgrounds white?

Bryan,

Here's how I change the text background fill color in general:

if (type == text) then
fill_color=(255,255,255)
boundary_color=(255,255,255)
endif

takes care of text with mask background of color BG

how can this then be done with a pentable.tbl just for masked text and leave any  shapes with BG fill to mask stuff as I want all text to come out black because I use colour 0 and some instances of yellow  and red my  pentable says change to colour 0 ie black.. or is it just happening anyway by default?

Not sure I follow what you are trying to do, Lorys.

Have you got some images of what you are working with and what you are looking to achieve?

Not what I'm asking .. the op used a .pen  file  is it for iplot or design script, I only use pentables ie  pen.tbl  attached to my pdf. pltcfg 

and I cant see how to do what tom suggests through the GUI

As  I use shapes with BG fill on to mask things this  is no printing or white  with polygons and I use black text ie white with bg fill enabled and they print  fine for me as black text over white with no ink as a mask behind the text and hide all other info behind the text..

I think maybe I'm not understanding the OPs question...

Its a Design Script

Here's the design script file. Attach in the plot dialog (just below pen table section) Tom F.Text-mask-example.pen
