Hi Don, hi all,
sorry for the delay on this.

Hello everyone,
I want to load a user-defined color table from a text file. For that I
want to define the color table as a VisAD Data object and read it off
from a text file using VisAD's TextAdapter. (Actually, there's no need
to define anything here, because the data object will be automagically
created by the adapter...and I just want to get the RGB values as
float[3][ N ].)
Has anyone got a snippet of code (that does exactly that) to donate to
an open source project?
We define color tables using XML, but that entails adapting some
of our other code. Although Bill doesn't officially endorse it,
Yes, I've seen it in your IDV and found that very neat. But for my
little project it's a bit of overkill to do it with XML.
there is a setFunction method of BaseColorControl. So, you
maybe could define your text file to be a FlatField of
(index -> (r, g, b)) and then use the setFunction method.
(I'll let you work out the format of the file. ;-))
Nah, that wasn't the hard stuff. Hard is to find why the attached code
is not working...
I'm attaching a test program and a color table. The program creates some
2D data, displays with rgb and then pops up a file chooser for the
user to load a color table. As said, the table comes free with this
email and looks like this:
(index->(r,g,b))
r g b
1 1 1
1 0 0
0 1 0
0 0 1
0 0 1
1 0 1
1 1 0
0 0 0
It's a white, r,g,b,c,m,y, black table. The problem is that the color
control (or whatever!) ignores all colors but the initial white (1,1,1)
and red (1,0,0).
Note: colors must be between 0.0 and 1.0 (as specified in the
documentation).
Can anyone tell me what's wrong or what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Ugo
I think Donna Gresh has used this method successfully.
