How to get the fill color of a shape or solid color fill layers?

I didn't bother to check the type of the active layer, but if a solid color layer is selected it should help.

// based on code by michael l hale;
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
var layerDesc = executeActionGet(ref);
var adjList = layerDesc.getList(stringIDToTypeID('adjustment'));
var theColors = adjList.getObjectValue(0).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID('color'));
var str = '';

How to get the RGB color values on the color picker component?
 
			 
How to get the RGB color values on the color picker component?
trace (cp.selectedColor);
Returns something like:
16750950
trace (key2cp.hexValue);
Returns:
ff9966
I'm looking for RGB, for example, 0.5 0.5 0.5, corresponding to a gray color.
Is there a chance that the RGB settings are hidden somewhere or is there a conversion function at least?
Thank you.
			 
If key2cp.hexValue returns a string like 'abcdef', use:
var s:String = key2cp.hexValue;
var n: Number = Number("0x"+s);
var r: Number = n > 16 & 0xff;
var g:Number = n > 8 & 0xff;
var b:Number = n & 0xff;
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
How to get the outline color and size of the rectangle?
 
			 
Hi all
I'm developing an extension for CS5 and higher (including the CC version). I want to get the outline color and size of a rectangle. I was able to do in CS5. But I noticed that in the version of the CC, there are two ways in which the user can apply to a stroke. One is by applying the effect in the layer Style, and the other through the properties panel. I am able to get the values of time in my script, if it is applied through layer Style, but I can't do it in the other scenario.
How are these two different traits and how do I get the outline color and size if it is applied via the properties panel using script?
Thank you!
			 
Here's what I have so far. It takes more work, but I don't think that's never very accurate.

How to get the background color of a layer with AE SDK
 
			 
Hello
I try to get the background color for my current layer, but I can't seem to find how do.
I don't want background color, background color of the application, but the color that shows through, if I set the alpha of my pixels to 0.
For example, assume that the background of the composition is black, I put a solid top, green then put a picture on top of the solid and apply my pug-in the image.
If I set the alpha to zero in my plug-in, green solid will be displayed.
So I want to be able to know that my background is green.
I tried to use PF_AppGetBgColor(), but which returns the background color of the application, which isn't green in this example.
If you want more details on what I want to do, I plug P1 which affects some 0-alpha pixels. Above it, I apply an another plugin P2 which reveals alpha-0 pixels by mixing with little color.
What is happening now is that the output is color of the original image, mixed with the color of P2 (because only modified P1 alpha pixels).
What I want is to have the color through the transparent pixels of P1 display mixed with the color of P2.
To do this, I would like to be able to set the color of pixels 0-alpha in the color of the background in P1.
Sorry for the question long.
Thanks for your suggestions.
			 
Hello nicolas.
If I understand it, that you try to get the buffer of image layers composited under the layer with your effect.
If that is correct, then I fear that it is almost impossible to do.
When AE makes a composition he doesn't it down. He's trying to do the opposite in fact.
Why? because if at some point, the buffer is completely opaque, then he has no need to make what's below.
further more, checked the diaper changing the rendering order, and many other things affect the rendering of the layers order.
In addition, there is no API to access buffers intermediaries comp. just the end result.
the closest you can get than without turning of the world, is to use AEGP_GetCompBGColor().
that would be useless to you that the image is not composite on that color, unless it is the model being saved to the file.
so why I said 'almost impossible '?
You can transform the world.
You can write a type ECAP 'craftsman '. (look at the example of 'arti')
These plug-ins make comps (instead of the "advanced3D" converter)
a craftsman has results intermediaries comp, because he is the one doing the rendering.
so now you can have your craftsman save the buffer, you need and deliver it to your effect.
I must warn you that this is very very very difficult.
Another possible solution is to create a copy of the model resides in your effect,
erase all the layers that has the image you need and make that reproduces model using AEGP_GetReceiptWorld().
If you use this method, you must supervise the original model and apply changes to the copy.
Yes, it's too difficult to do.
you could make a change in the strategy and apply your effect to an adjustment layer instead.
the entry for the adjustment layer is the buffer underlying layers.
Then, you could get the original sources you want to treat using checked layer params.
the last solution I can think uses the expression of sampleImage() on a hidden parameter.
This will give you any layer's pixel data in the model, but not the composite of the underlying layers.
Maybe if you tried sampling adjustment layers post effects... I don't know. you need to try.
This method is very slow and is also limited to expire, so you can't get a large number of pixels.
the expression simply fails.
I hope that this was not all bad news for you.

Maybe you said more about the plug-in you develop I could come up with a better plan.

I'm trying to create my heading1 with a background like the picture above.
I put the blue background on a master page, but the chassis will in the background blue and later blue background does not show through.
Any ideas?
Thank you

Cindy,
You must create a specific master page for the opening/first chapter page that contains two connected text frames. The most senior executive would have the blue background and be served for the title. The following text block would get the text and have two columns.

How to get the color and stroke of ComboBox
 
			 
I would get the selected color and stroke selected ComboBoxes to print these values as strings in an .ini file to save the settings.
Here is my example http://s24.postimg.org/q59kivgxh/Z055.png where I have a scene with ComboBoxes.List
The list of colors is an ObservableList in the classroom
public class ComboBoxColorCellFactory {
  
 public static  ObservableList<String> colorList = FXCollections.observableArrayList(
         
"White", "WhiteSmoke", "GhostWhite", "Ivory", "MintCream", "Beige", "Transparent", "Seashell", "Snow", "Honeydew", "FloralWhite", "Cornsilk", "BlancheDalmond","Wheat", "AntiqueWhite", "NavajoWhite"); 
and the list of race
public class ComboBoxLineCellFactory {
    
   public static ObservableList<String> linesList = FXCollections.observableArrayList(
     "-fx-stroke-dash-array: 1;", "-fx-stroke-dash-array: 12 2 4 2;", "-fx-stroke-dash-array: 2 2;", 
     "-fx-stroke-dash-array: 15 5.0 15 5.0;", "-fx-stroke-dash-array: 0.8 8.0;", "-fx-stroke-dash-array: 3 3;", "-fx-stroke-dash-array: 6 3;");
In my previous version of swing, I used to get these values in this way (PriceRetracementIni is the class with the statements of private fields and define and use the get methods).
PriceRetracementIni.setColor1(Integer.toString(((Color)jComboBoxColor1.getSelectedItem()).getRed())+ "|" + Integer.toString(((Color)jComboBoxColor1.getSelectedItem()).getGreen())+ "|" + Integer.toString(((Color)jComboBoxColor1.getSelectedItem()).getBlue()));

PriceRetracementIni.setStyle1(ComboLineTypeConstants.getStrokeArray((BasicStroke)jComboBoxStyle1.getSelectedItem()));

PriceRetracementIni.setFontStyle(jComboBoxFontStyle.getSelectedItem().toString());

How do I make FX 2, assuming that I have comboboxColor, comboboxStyle and comboboxFont?
Thank you.

How to get the color of the text information in the text layer?
 
			 
How to get the color of the text information in the text layer?  I mean using scripts Photoshop, Version of Photoshop CS 8.0
			 
The color textItem is readable for me in VBS Note expects the activeLayer be a textLayer and displays the HexValue of the color of the text.
Option Explicit

Dim appRef
Dim docRef
Dim textItemRef
Dim artLayerRef
Dim textColor

Set appRef = CreateObject( "Photoshop.Application" )

appRef.BringToFront

Set docRef = appRef.ActiveDocument
Set artLayerRef = docRef.ActiveLayer
Set textItemRef = artLayerRef.TextItem
Set textColor = textItemRef.Color

MsgBox textColor.RGB.HexValue

And returns the color of the text if the text is the same color. But if the text is more than a color textItem.color returns only the color of the first text range.

How can set the background color of the status bar?
Using this code for the status bar:
LabelField statusField = new LabelField ("Good Morning", LabelField.USE_ALL_WIDTH |) LabelField.NON_FOCUSABLE | LabelField.HCENTER)
{
int _backgroundColour = Color.LIGHTGREEN;
public void paint (Graphics g)
{
g.setBackgroundColor (Color.RED);
g.Clear ();
Super.Paint (g);
}
};

Font defaultfont = Font.getDefault ();
Police smallfont = defaultfont.derive (Font.PLAIN, 12);
statusField.setFont (smallfont);
setStatus (statusField);



When I ran the code you have above, my status background color was red.  Is not what you see?  If so, please provide the BlackBerry model and software version that you are testing.  You can find this under Options.
Or if you try to do something else, please provide details.
I tested this in the BlackBerry Simulator included with version 4.5.0 BlackBerry JDE (4.5.0.44).
			 
To do this in version 4.1, first call getColor and save the current color.  Then call setColor, setting the color to the color you want to use for the background.  After this call call fillRect, starting with 0, 0 and go to the size of the field (use this.getWidth () and this.getHeight () to get this).  This must fill in the field with your specified color.
To allow the drawing of the default content of the field call setColor once again, passing in the original color, then call super.paint.

How to change the background color of selection of the selected item in the drop-down box of choice?
By default, the selection background color like 'blue', but if I want it to be "yellow" for example, how should I do?
Thank you
			 
The id is applied by (I think) the skin of the ChoiceBox class. You don't need to define.
You must apply the css in an external style sheet. You can apply the external style sheet to any parent of the box of your choice, or on-site (the most usual way to do it).
Example:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class ChoiceBoxTest extends Application {

  @Override
  public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    primaryStage.setTitle("Example 2");

    final ChoiceBox choiceBox = new ChoiceBox<>();

    List tempResult = new ArrayList();
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      tempResult.add("Item " + i);
    }
    choiceBox.getItems().setAll(tempResult);

    VBox root = new VBox();
    root.getChildren().add(choiceBox);
    final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
    scene.getStylesheets().add("choiceBox.css");
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
  }

}

choiceBox.css:
@CHARSET "UTF-8";
#choice-box-menu-item:focused  {
 -fx-background-color: yellow ;
}
#choice-box-menu-item .label {
 -fx-text-fill: black ;
}
