Button Color Mapping Difficulties

Can somebody clarify the steps and settings I need to go through to make changes in a simple color mapping scheme for buttons on a menu? I've done it before, no problem, but for some reason this time when I make changes in the inspector, they are not reflected on the editor (or in the simulator, for that matter). I've got a background and overlay set, I set the colors in the menu inspector, created buttons, and the buttons do not show up the same colors as what are in the inspector. I switch between normal, selected, and activated states, but either no color shows up, or it is a totally different color altogether. As far as settings, I've got "display composite" selected. If anybody can tell me what setting or preference I've got out of whack, that would be helpful.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Once you set an Overlay file the Key colors (check the Menu>Colors>Key) are what colors DVDSP is now affecting (e.g. so it's the Black that is being turned White).
So, if your Overlay Layer is set so you want your Black Boxes to change color and your White background to disappear, you'll need to slide the Opacity to 0 next to the White Key box and the Opacity to 15 next to the Black Key box. Adjust the color next to the Black Key box and then click over to the Selected radial Selected State right above the Colors. Change the color of the Black buttons to whatever, and keep the Opacities the same as before.
Make sense? It's hard for me to explain, so I fear I'm doing a poor job of it.

New button colors hard to see

The new light gray colors are now rather difficult to see at a glance which one is greyed out and which one is active. It is so bad that I even looked at the Universal Access System Prefs pane and bumped up the contrast but even that doesn't seem to help. Why on Earth did anyone thing this was a good idea or makes the interface more appealing in any way? Or more importantly, is there a way to bring back the old button colors?

Most likely your home button is worn out. There is really nothing that you can do, it's just usual wear and tear. You could set up a repair through Apple. Your phone is probably out of warrany if you don't have a plan set up on your phone. You could do a repair through Apple, get a third party to repair it, or pony up and get the iPhone 5!

Bizarre IRR Button Colors in IE (Only!)

When we go to any "Action" dialog from an Interactive Report Region, the button colors, e.g. Apply, Cancel etc. are dark blue with brown writing in IE only We've tested with IE 8 and 9.
This does not occur in FF, Chrome or Safari.
Has anyone else encountered this and does anyone know of a fix. We are demoing this next week and; it isn't just aesthetic, the color combination is actually very difficult to read.
(Yes, I, too, wish that IE would be forever stricken from the memory of Man)
Thanks and Here's Hoping,

Ironically a combination of IE and Jive ate a lengthy response I made some hours ago, and I wasn't able to post again at that time.

Sorry that this followup is more of a CSS question and less of an APEX question.That's OK. I know more about many aspects of CSS than I do about some of APEX!
We have a CSS style sheet that we are including as part of the application (via a change to the template).When you say this do you mean that this style sheet replaces the default APEX theme CSS or that it is applied later in the cascade to augment/override the theme?
However, we don't have any conditional* CSS formatting. I'm unsure of the syntax. I know I could paste the <style> section thgat you provided into the HTML Header section of the page but, as this is global, we'd prefer to do it in the CSS once for the whole app.There's no conditional processing in CSS. The browser applies the last rule it understands, which for this rule is roughly like this:
/* Older IE & IE8/9/10 */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(GradientType=0, startColorstr='#eee', endColorstr='#ddd');
/* IE8/9/10 */
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#eee', endColorstr='#ddd')";
/* Older Safari & Chrome */
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, 50% 0%, 50% 100%, color-stop(0%, #EEE), color-stop(100%, #DDD));
/* Safari & Chrome */
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #EEE,#DDD);
/* Older Firefox */
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #EEE,#DDD);
/* Firefox 16 & IE10 */
background-image: linear-gradient(top, #EEE,#DDD);So the problem with unconditionally including
button.apexir-button {
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(GradientType=0, startColorstr='#eeeeee', endColorstr='#dddddd');
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#eeeeee', endColorstr='#dddddd')"
button.apexir-button:hover {
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(GradientType=0, startColorstr='#ffffff', endColorstr='#eeeeee');
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#ffffff', endColorstr='#eeeeee')"
}later in the cascade is that it will override <tt>background-image: linear-gradient(top, #EEE,#DDD)</tt> for IE10 as IE10 still supports Microsoft's proprietary <tt>filter</tt> property.
That's why I suggested using conditional comments.
I tried this:
button.apexir-button {
[if lt IE 10] filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(GradientType=0, startColorstr='#eeeeee', endColorstr='#dddddd');
[if lt IE 10] -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#eeeeee', endColorstr='#dddddd')"
button.apexir-button:hover {
[if lt IE 10] filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(GradientType=0, startColorstr='#ffffff', endColorstr='#eeeeee');
[if lt IE 10] -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#ffffff', endColorstr='#eeeeee')"
}and it did not solve the problem.That's not valid CSS: there's no conditional processing in CSS. We have to use the IE conditional comments in HTML.
I also directly pasted the style tag version that you pasted above into the example at apex.oracle.com in the HTML header of the page.
It did not solve the problem there either. Works for me. Needs to pasted in the right place after the APEX theme style sheet to effect the override.
My recommendation would be to put the override in an external style sheet that you feed to earlier IE versions using conditional comments in each page template, which is the approach that APEX takes for IE workarounds:
There also another alternative: fix the errant APEX CSS at <tt>/i/themes/theme_24/css/4_1.css</tt> if the powers that be will allow it.

Help with getting button color.

I'm trying to make a little paint program. i want to be able to click on a color button and then assign the color of that button to a variable Color brushColor.
funny thing is, when i compile this, it tells me that
C:\java\javaprograms\TryPainting.java:21: getBackground() in java.awt.Component cannot be applied to (java.awt.Button)
          brushColor = paintTheBrush(getBackground(source));
strange, getBackground is explicitly listed as a method that Button inherits from Component in the API.
any suggestions on a way to accomplish this?
thanks in advance,
jason

How to change button colors in a loop?

I am working on a task that should imitate an elevator. I have two vertical
rows of round buttons "Up" and "Down" When a circle is selected randomly by
the program, the circle becomes yellow and the elevator moves to that
button.
Here is what I did:
1. created a class Circle where I save buttons' parameters
2. saved Circle objects in an array
3. drew the buttons depending on their parameters
4. generated a random number, matched it with an array index and assigned
the object color to yellow.
Everything is fine except that I can't figure out how to change colors of my
buttons in a loop.

Color Map not showing time-dependent change

I am using the latest Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite in Signal Express. I have a Spectral Map step in my program, which includes a Color Map. I am recording an accelerometer's transient response to an impact, and want to see the time-dependent frequency intensity changes as a function of time, so a color map should be perfect. I have no problem recording the accelerometer's transient response in a time graph, and I also see the power spectrum in another graph. While the color map indeed shows various frequencies at different intensity levels, I don't see the intensity of any of the frequencies change over the course of the 200 ms that I'm recording, while the time graph clearly shows the decaying waveform. Why doesn't the color map show a decrease in intensity of the respective frequencies as time progresses through the transient? I have everything set up to display and record the first 200 ms of the impact. At the end of this period, the intensity should go to almost zero.
Please see the attached .seproj file to review the parameters I have set.
Also, with the same .seproj file, I will occassionally get a Buffer Overflow error. From this file, can you tell me what setting I need to change. But I need to make sure that all data both displayed and recorded, is for the 200 ms timeframe specified (10 ms before the trigger and 190 ms after). The ADC I'm using is an NI 9234 in a cDAQ-9172 chassis.
Thanks,
--Tim

Tim,
I am trying to figure out where this would be able to recognize the changes since the data would be taken from an analysis of one .2 second signal. Have you tried to analyze more than the one signal taken in? When I ran this project I got the display on the bottom right to show one signal as having been read which makes sense when looking at the data. If you wanted to see the changes over the 200 ms timeframe I would have it run continuous DAQmx acquires for that timeframe. It appears the analysis that we see stays static because it is doing analysis of only one data set that came in. I would think that the change in time that you want to see would have to have analysis done on multiple sample sets to notice the differences from one set to the next.

3d graph color map help for cvi

I've plotted my data to a 3d graph using CW3DGraphLib. The data I am most interested in is the highest 10%. I can change the Z axis to only show this 10%, but the colors are all red. I would like to modify the color map so it maps only the data that I set in the max and min scale. 90 to 100%. Does anyone know how to do this? Also, I am looking for any additional help files on the CW3DGraphLib. When you click on the function panel it says no help file available.

Hello Keith,
I think the following forum will be helpful.

Color map scale for 3d graph

Hi
I have a 3d graph with x,y,z having the surface co-ordinates and w matrix having a value at each co-ordinate. I am trying to scale the color map applied. I know the color map values and and color numbers can be called from the property mode, but how to draw the scale so that it inidcates the color of corresponding values on w matrix.

Saving color map from intesity graph to jpg

Hi to all..
I have 2D array ( of numbers) and I use intensity graph to convert the numbers to a color map.
But I want to save this color map to jpg file (as image.. )
How do I do that?
Thanks
Eruvi

In that case, I would make a copy of the Intensity Graph, and deselect every option under the "Visible Items" right-click menu. At that point, all that should be left would be the gray frame of the Intensity Graph. At this point, you can use the Paintbrush Tool, right-click on the gray border, and choose the 'T' in the color picker to make it transparent. At this point, your Intensity Graph should only show the colored graph region and nothing else. Then you can use the method I described to export the image to disk. I have attached a screenshot of a front panel of a VI with an Intensity Graph with all parts other than the graph region made non-visible.
Hope this helps,
-D

Hi,
try to search in PL/SQL code in your form by the button name... May be it is changed dinamically at execution time?
In what environment are you developing? client/server application? Ebusiness suite?...
Jose L.

Is it possible to display the color map of a 3D Surface plot on the Front Panel?

This would be a very useful feature to include, especially if you are just displaying the top-down (XY) projection of your plot (otherwise there's no way to visualize the amplitude that a given color represents). I know that the Intensity Graph allows you to display the Z-axis color map, but I want to use the 3D Graph control for some of the other features it offers...

I had the same question. After quite a bit of playing around with properties, methods, color ramps, viewing examples and reading a bit about it, I discovered a way to do this. Basically use the ColorMapValues and ColorMapColors properties from the 3D graph and modify them slightly and feed these into the ZScale.Marker.Vals[] on an intensity chart or the Scale.MarkerVals[] on the color ramp. See the attached example.
I think the diagram is self-documenting and pretty darn simple. I have a couple of notes on the front panel that help explain the vi.
Good luck.

Button Color

Hi !
My program endlessly scans a jTable of 150 row indexes in lenth.
This jTable directly relates to 150 jButtons ... that depending on the status of thier function at any given time ... each change in color to reflect thier status. The buttons change in color 6 times ie; RED, GREEN, YELLOW,BLUE, GRAY or BLACK.
Currently I change the button color in this way :

.................. etc, etc, etc   ( room numbers are used for index references ie: 101,102, 103, etc)This code works well , but would think there must be a better wat to code it.
I will make the color itself a var like this:
AddRFSwitchMain.jButton124.setBackground(new Color( a , b , c ));...... but is there any way to adress the JButtons themselves in a var way??
ie:
AddRFSwitchMain.jButton( var X ).setBackground(new Color( a , b , c ));I know ya cant change the jButton lable itself ... but any way to reference the buttons in a like fashion ??
THANKS !!

You currently are creating 150 separate buttons each
independent and unrelated to each other. I would
reccomend creating an two arrays, one of buttons, and
another of button status which you can then loop
thorugh and change with logic
Something like this:
Button[] myButtonArray
int[] myButtonStatus
init() {
Button[] myButtonArray = new Button[150];
int myButtonStatus = new int[150];
for (int i = 0; i < 150 ; i++)
myButtonArray[i] = new Button("Button #" +
n #" + (i + 1) );
myButonStatus[i] = ** Get Status from
tus from jTable
then in Main Code soemthing like
for (int i=0 ; i < 150 ; i++)
if (myButtonStatus = 101) then
) then
{myButtonArray.setBackGround(Color.Yellow);
if (myButtonStatus = xyz ) then
{myButtonArray[i].setBackGrondr(Color.Black);
Hope this helps
JavaPython ....
Does not your code snip make for 150 lines of code entry listed below? : (
if (myButtonStatus = 101) then
) then
{myButtonArray.setBackGround(Color.Yellow);
if (myButtonStatus = 101) then
) then
{myButtonArray.setBackGround(Color.Yellow);

Change button color

i have a group of buttons and when each one is clicked its color should change. when another button is clicked the color of previous button should change back to normal..plz help..thanks in advance

Hi Srivatsa,
You can do the same for chnanging your button icons if you have only tow icons to display ....one is default icon and the other one is the icon which you wnat to display when the button is clicked...
Check the below code:
Just replace the image path in the embed variable with your image path and check...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
   private var previousButtonClicked:Button;
   [Embed("assets/Rose20Icon.jpg") ]
         [Bindable]private var buttonIcon:Class;
         [Embed("assets/arrowIcon.JPG") ]
         [Bindable]private var buttonIconDefault:Class;
   private function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
    if(previousButtonClicked)
     previousButtonClicked.setStyle("icon",buttonIconDefault);
    previousButtonClicked = event.currentTarget as Button;
    Button(event.currentTarget).setStyle("icon",buttonIcon);
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Button id="btn1" icon="{buttonIconDefault}" label="Button" color="green" click="buttonClickHandler(event);"/>
<mx:Button id="btn2" icon="{buttonIconDefault}" label="Button" color="green" click="buttonClickHandler(event);"/>
<mx:Button id="btn3" icon="{buttonIconDefault}" label="Button" color="green" click="buttonClickHandler(event);"/>
<mx:Button id="btn4" icon="{buttonIconDefault}" label="Button" color="green" click="buttonClickHandler(event);"/>
<mx:Button id="btn5" icon="{buttonIconDefault}" label="Button" color="green" click="buttonClickHandler(event);"/>
<mx:Button id="btn6" icon="{buttonIconDefault}" label="Button" color="green" click="buttonClickHandler(event);"/>
<mx:Button id="btn7" icon="{buttonIconDefault}" label="Button" color="green" click="buttonClickHandler(event);"/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Application>
