Legend parameters should support Sverchok colours, base plane, and font

[ppaawweeuu]

1. Legend has always 11 colors, i found it strange.
2. If i set in 'LB Analysis Period' 'start hour'=7 and 'end hour'=17 i expect 10 hours analysis, not 11 hours (see legend numbers)

3. There are few legends, one for every object.

4. 'LB Analysis Period', not sure what 'timestep' means. Can't be float (0,5). If grater than 1 -> creates too many hours per day.

1. This is a decision made by ladybug tools itself. I suspect there are good reasons for this default. Perhaps for consistency across multiple analysis is my guess. However, it is possible to change by inserting an LB Legend Parameters node.

2. See answer to (1)

3. Looks like a bug! Will have to investigate.

4. https://github.com/ladybug-tools/ladybug-grasshopper/blob/master/ladybug_grasshopper/json/LB_Analysis_Period.json#L73-L77

3. Unless you merge all the input meshes the component creates a separate legend for each input mesh. This is not a bug! :)

4. timestep thanks, reading json files was very informative. I got why there is conversation about implementing tooltips. It could be very helpful. / sv issue about tooltips and all grashopper jsons / I must use the same timestep value in both nodes, and was need to do it (link) becouse #4

3. blender doesnt have components :) there is just need to join meshes from objects and create new object, i guess.

Grasshopper's "component" == Blender's Node :)

1, Legend, ok, legends can be parametrized. 11 is default. Descriptions from json were crucial to understand.

colors_ , base_plane_ , fonts_ - have no idea how feed that sockets. continous_leg - i think it will be difficult, maybe vertex colors to generate gradients (probably the least important feature) bool sockets - i tried typing 'True', 'False', 1, 0 - not working. works only with external logic node.

2. There must be some good reasons, i guess.

[Moult]

Bool sockets fixed.

The colour range node can be used to edit colours. I'm not sure if there is an alternative. Ping @mostaphaRoudsari and @chriswmackey .

Vertex colours now implemented, so continuous legends work (keep in mind you need to be a mode that displays vertex colours - so either switch to vertex colour mode in workbench, or switch to material preview / rendered mode).

Fonts and base plane is not yet supported. Will add to the to-do list.

The colour range node can be used to edit colours. I'm not sure if there is an alternative.

If I'm not mistaken the output of the color range node is simply a list f colors. Even if it is not you can create your own colorrange using a list of colors as needed.

My bad about using the term component. Whenever I write component I actually mean node.

[ppaawweeuu]

Ok, color range is integer and means 1 of 27 predefinied gradients or legend styles.

[ppaawweeuu]

@mostaphaRoudsari @Moult - how we can create custom colorrange? I expected something like that will be ok:

LB Color Range generates that..

[Moult]

The LB Color Range node outputs a list of Ladybug Color objects. They are not compatible with Sverchok colours at the moment. Adding to the to-do list.

[Durman]

Probably color ramp node can be useful

Ok. @Moult - implementing hover tooltips be aware that oryginal tooltips use component word.
