Field placement in the packet is an important consideration

 

when using field color attributes, because fields are imaged in

 

the order they are received. If a line field is defined before

 

the overlay (text or constant text) field, the line field is

 

blocked out by the overlay field, depending on the overlay

 

field’s color attribute. If a line field is defined after the overlay

 

field, the line field is not blocked out by the overlay field,

 

regardless of the overlay field’s color attribute.
