I have created some shapes with custom gradient fills.
I want to change the fill with different colors for different events.
The effect would be similar to the tint method for a bitmap but with the resolution independence of vectors.
I also dont want to have to use visibility on stacked shapes for this.
Creating a matching shape with reduced opacity stacked on top of the original shape and changing the fill color would almost work but it doesnt give you full saturation of the color … Red is just Pink.
this script
x = event.source.parent.getComponent(‘Rectangle’).fillPaint
print x
prints the following
com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.util.gui.paints.RelativeLinearGradientPaint@aefb72
This script
event.source.parent.getComponent(‘Rectangle’).fillPaint = event.source.parent.getComponent(‘Rectangle1’).fillPaint
copies the gradient fill from one rectangle to another.
how can I write the gradient to the shape at event time from a Global constant dictionary
