Hi,
How can the plot color been set while using pcbnew.py?
"
[...]
 board = LoadBoard(apcbfilename)
 pctl = PLOT_CONTROLLER(board)
 popt = pctl.GetPlotOptions()
 popt.SetOutputDirectory(aoutputdir)
 popt.SetPlotFrameRef(False)
 popt.SetLineWidth(FromMM(0.35))

 popt.SetAutoScale(False)
 popt.SetScale(1)
 popt.SetMirror(False)
 popt.SetUseGerberAttributes(True)
 popt.SetExcludeEdgeLayer(True);
 popt.SetUseAuxOrigin(True)
 popt.SetSubtractMaskFromSilk(False)

 pctl.OpenPlotfile(lnames[0],PLOT_FORMAT_POST,'')
 pctl.SetColorMode(False)
 popt.SetColor(YELLOW)
 pctl.SetLayer(F_SilkS)
 pctl.PlotLayer()
 pctl.ClosePlot()
[...]
"
shows black,
"
 pctl.SetColorMode(True)
"
shows cyan.
share/kicad/demos/python_scripts_examples/plot_board.py also makes black on 
white PDF's only.

How can the colors been set by a RGB or other component color format?
