[PCB_FORUM] Re: Converting Colors

Hsin-Huei:

No, I am talking about the customize line in:

----------------------------------------------------------------
# Allegro script
#       file: C:/projects/psd1601/g0006xa/board/temp.scr
#       start time: Thu Apr 17 13:33:10 2008
#       Version: 16.01 s018 (v16-1-53Z) i86
version 16.01

setwindow pcb
trapsize 920
generaledit
color192
setwindow cvf.dialog
cvf layer_mode
setwindow pcb
generaledit
setwindow cvf.dialog
cvf select_color_cell 31
cvf customize 32 33554432
cvf okay
setwindow pcb

#       stop time: Thu Apr 17 13:33:49 2008
----------------------------------------------------------------

The line equates 33554432 with BLACK (RGB: 0 0 0).  50331647 equates to WHITE 
(RGB:255 255 255)
I need to find out how these new color numbers are derived so I can automate 
color changes in the palette.  A save/load capability such as we have had in 
the past would be fine too :)

Thanks!

George,

If you are talking about the number (38) in line "cvf select_color_cell 38", 
then I may have the answer for you.

Please see attached PP file, there are two color pallette, the first section 
starts from 0 across to 15 and the second row starts from 16 until 31 and so 
on. The second section starts from 97. You can also customize your color and 
save them for later use.

George,

The 16.0 ISR was updated after the 16.0 original release. The script recording 
was not storing information based on the class/subclasses changed and instead 
saved the grid location in the form. That made scripts limited.

The ISR scripts will record a color change like this:

color192
setwindow cvf.dialog
cvf layer_mode
setwindow pcb
generaledit
setwindow cvf.dialog
cvf select_color_cell 38
cvf layers_color board_geometry/ncroute_path 39 cvf okay setwindow pcb


The same thing in the early 16.0 version recorded this way and you didn't know 
what it really touched:

color192
generaledit
setwindow cvf.dialog
cvf select_color_cell 38
cvf layer_grid_clr 3 218 70 55255
cvf okay


Is this what you are referring to?

The number used in the scripting is very large, and I can't find how it's 
calculated.  Has anyone else tackled this yet?

It is going to be very un-fun to have to record a script to manually enter the 
colors my users are used to :{
