Pie Chart color Map

[Shotski2 Active Forum user Find all posts View Profile Close Shotski2]

Hello Everyone,
I have a question about the Pie Chart color map values. I was able to convert RGB values to RGBA Decimals to get the colors to change from a template. The issue is how can I get the colors for the different pie slices to be delivered at the same time after they are selected in the template. It works great if its one color but I need the different colors to go to the other slices when I change the Color ID and the color is selected.

We did something similar but in the scene we made a loop to go through the colors from the template.

for j = 1 to 8
  dim tmpMaterial as Material = this.FindSubcontainer("Name of the container that have the materials e.g. Colour1 to Colous 8" & j).Material
  dim tmpColor as Color 0 cColor(tmpMaterial.Emission.Red, tmpMaterial.Emission.Green, tmpMaterial.Emision.Blue,1)
  cRoot.FindSubContainer("ContainerHoldingThePieChartPlugin").GetGeometryPluginInstance().SetParameterInt("ColorID", j-1)
  cRoot.FindSubContainer("ContainerHoldingThePieChartPlugin").GetGeometryPluginInstance().SetParameterInt("Color",tmpColor)
Next

Hi Lars,
Getting an invalid argument error on the last line. Am i missing something?

This is what i have:

sub OnExecPerField()
for j = 1 to 8
dim tmpMaterial as Material = this.FindSubcontainer("PieColor_" & j).Material
dim tmpColor as Color = cColor(tmpMaterial.Emission.Red, tmpMaterial.Emission.Green, tmpMaterial.Emission.Blue,1)

FindSubContainer("PieChart").GetGeometryPluginInstance().SetParameterInt("ColorID", j-1)
FindSubContainer("PieChart").GetGeometryPluginInstance().SetParameterInt("Color",tmpColor) ***Getting error***

Next
end sub

Figured out the issue: Changed ParameterInt to ParameterColor and it worked. Thanks again Lars
