Text Formatting ⇒ Colored Dotted Page

[Jabavi521]

Hello,
I can't figure out the syntax for a colored dotted page. For instance - bullet journals are a page of dots but in black. What syntax do I use to change the color of the dots to say, light blue? This is for a full page. I have this, but I don't know how to change the color of the dots to a different color. Please help!

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\pagenumbering{gobble}
\usepackage[landscape, margin=0.2in]{geometry}  
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.6]
    \foreach \x in {0,...,43}
    \foreach \y in {0,...,34}
    {
  \fill (\x,\y) circle (0.03cm);
    }       
  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Hello,

welcome to the forum!

You provided a very good minimal example, easy to test, thanks. You can use a color option (10% blue here):

Code: Select all

\fill [color=blue!10] (\x,\y) circle (0.03cm);

Hi Stefan,
Thank you for your reply! I'm very newbie in this so you'll have to excuse my simplistic questions.

I tried the code and was not able to generate anything on the page? it turns out blank so i must be doing something in correctly. Where did I go wrong?

Perhaps check the .log file, the logging output of the LaTeX run. And if the output was pushed to the next page in case it was bigger than the page.
