Color Splasher suggestions

Open Thomas84 opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

  • Creating a range of values, instead of hundreds of colors (for example wall area or volume) would be nice. For example creating a range with maximum of 10 colors. Otherwise the legend is super large.
  • Selecting multiple Values to choose a color would be nice.
  • Add a Close dialog button
  • allow to resize the dialog

  • Add a Close dialog button

There is the X at the top right. Not enough?

  • Creating a range of values, instead of hundreds of colors (for example wall area or volume) would be nice. For example creating a range with maximum of 10 colors. Otherwise the legend is super large.

Feel free to sketch the logic.

  • Selecting multiple Values to choose a color would be nice.

Quite a headache to implement properly, the logic behind, mixing or not mixing parameters based on types. You can style apply for a first param then do the next. I think keeping it simple is required here. I don't want the tool to become an unmanageable beast

  • allow to resize the dialog

I will be as lazy as Autodesk on this one ;p

I will add here a new suggestion from @jhtacoma

I might offer one suggestion regarding the colour splasher, and that is to provide a wider (or brighter) range of colours -- or is this something I can tweak myself in the ColorSplasher.pushbutton/script.py file? I noticed that if more than 5 or 6 items are being differentiated by colour, it's easy for a couple of them to look pretty similar, probably due to having low brightness levels. Even after clicking repeatedly to re-randomize the colours, I found that some confusion between the different colours was still likely.
