This resource is used to specify the color and attributes for watch box plotting. If this resource is not specified, all watch boxes are plotted using the color_data resource value which defaults to white. There are 2 possible values:
- severe thunderstorm watch boxes
- tornado watch boxes
If the fill pattern is specified, the boxes are filled. The watch box labels use the color_watch resource unless the box is filled in which the resrc:color_data resource is used.
The color is specified first and represents the color name from the color table (see resrc:color_table resource). The attributes are the following. Multiple attributes can be specified if separated by a colon ":".
