The backgroundColor attribute is the name of the RGB color for the background of the part.

You cannot change the background color of a column. This attribute is ignored for the Container Details Column part. This attribute is also ignored for a report viewer.

The borderStyle property specifies the border to be drawn around a report object. You can specify either Dashed, Heavy, None, or Normal for any the top, bottom, left, or right border of the part.

The name of the part can consist of alphanumeric characters, and must be unique from all other parts on the layout surface.

This field is optional. If you do not specify a part name, VA Smalltalk generates a unique name based on the class name of the part.

The width attribute refers to the width (in units set by the unitTypeSelected attribute) of the part.
