User Interface Script - Custom colored field?

Andreas81ch — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 09:23:06 GMT

Hi there, is it possible to do a colored square (with R, G, B) or so in the "UI Script" ?

I found only that you can put a picture from the bib, or de Pre-picture from your object in the script.

In the GDL reference guide, there it is;

UI_COLORPICKER "redParamName", "greenParamName", "blueParamName", x0, y0 [, width [, height]]

But I don't unterstand that to do......

Otherwise, the reference guide is not bad, but some script example, I don't see "preview example = result".....

> all for UI_ scripts.....

Hi @Andreas81ch ,

If I understand your request properly, UI_COLORPICKER does exactly that

In your Parameters List, you should have 3 parameters of Real type :

- "Red" (or any name you want)

- "Green" (or any name you want)

- "Blue" (or any name you want)

In the Parameter script (it's not necessary but it's better)

values "Red" range[0, 1] values "Green" range[0, 1] values "Blue" range[0, 1]

In the Interface script

xStart = 5 yStart = 5 width = 40 height = 40 UI_COLORPICKER "Red", "Green", "Blue", xStart, yStart, width, height

On mac, this should give you this result (a clickable square of 40x40 px placed at 5, 5 in the UI). Second picture is what you get when you click on the square.

Hi there, thanks for this tutorial.

But I want not to pick a color, just a field with a custom RGB color;

I made this exmaple with colored pictures in my biblio.

But no way to make so, with custom RGB command ?

As far as I know, it is not possible with a UI-Command to create a colored field.
In these cases I always use the UI_PICT command and place colored pictures as you did.

Ah I didn't get it then, my bad. I do not believe that what you ask is possible but maybe there's something I don't k,ow.
