Change color spectrum orientation in 3d plot

hi,
I have a 3d plot:
x-axis = wavelength
y-axis = angle of reflection
z-axis = intensity counts
the 3d surface is colored like the spectrum, now i want to rotate the color orientation, that it corresponds with the wavelength, but I do not want to change the axis. thanks.

Hi Robert,
This is not as easy as right-clicking...
I had posted a crude (er messy?) example that shows you how to define the color of each point plotted in 3-space.
The following link shows the result of doing a parametric plot using this method.

Look fo rthe LAST jpg I posted.
Unfortunately, I could not find where I posted the code. I needed Molly's help to get it posted because it was a 4 meg example.
What you want to do is use a custom color map and use the "w" vector to specify the color of the points. The values passed via the "w" vector must match up with your custom color scale.
Maybe someone else knows a better way. I'll watch for updates.

Changing colors of individual bars in a XY Graph

I am using an XY Graph (bar style) to display 50 voltages. I have limit settings (low alarm,low warning, high warning, high alarm)that I would like to impose on each of the 50 bars in the XY graph. My problem is that any way I try it the limits are only imposed on the first bar on the graph and all the following bars change colors along with the first bar no matter what value they have. Is it possible to control the properties of individual bars inside an XY Graph ??

The short answer is no. All of the elements in a plot use the same
colors to draw. To get the display you want, you need four plots.
Write a subVI that takes in your array and returns the four that you
need. It will index the elements and generates a value in four othe
r
arrays such that three of them are NaN and the fourth contains your
value depending on the alarm status keeping the same X value with all
four plots. As an example, if the value is lower than the low alarm
limit, the value will be placed in the low array and NaNs in the other
three arrays.
Now wire the four arrays to the graph as a multiplot, you will either
use a build array or a Build Clustered array depending on the XY type.
The plots will overlay, with only one point being non-NaN for each X
location. It will use the color for plot 0, 1, 2, or 3 depending on
which array the value was in.

Change colors, in detail

I found that selecting a high contrast Theme is the only way to change some details of each of the different colors (Hyperlinks, Disabled text, Selected text, etc.) of a window. When a high contrast screen is selected, I can search for "change
color" and select "change the color of your taskbar and window borders" and I'll get to a "Color and Appearance" screen that is not available for any non-high contrast theme. However, even this added ability to customize the
screen colors falls far short of complete control.
My custom Yahoo! page looses the text coloration differences to show stocks that are going up (green) vs. going down (red). I also seem to have very little control of Outlook coloration. As I am on my PC for most of every working day, I need
the ability to provide good contrasting colors on all my window screens. I am disappointed that Microsoft has not fine tuned this feature by now. Most everything else about 8.1 I like quite a bit.
William Fearn

You're no longer allowed to customize the colors to the extent you used to be able to do so. Microsoft has reduced our ability to make the desktop easier to use by configuring or "theming" it with something more pleasing than the (IMO)
fairly broken theme they provide. I personally find the loss of drop shadows tremendously reduces utility.
I believe it's a plot by Microsoft Marketing to try to get people to dislike using the desktop so that they can get more support for Metro/Modern.
It ain't working!
There are folks who have figured out how to "hack" the OS to enable better theme support, and one who's even re-implemented the Aero Glass effects. Some of them hang out at
msfn.org. These things can be employed to make it easier on the eyes (I've managed some improvement).
As far as Outlook 2013 / 365 goes... There's little hope, since even a theme replacement doesn't affect it. The Office team rolled their own UI, probably to help their Marketing department out. On the Microsoft forum elsewhere
is
a thread with something like 700 responses from people who claim their eyes are bleeding from trying to use the latest version of Office. Most claim Office 2010 was far better.
Here's the really disturbing part: Microsoft isn't releasing stuff by accident. They're actively making the desktop harder to use - on purpose. And their marketing is trying to turn it into an "Emperor's New Clothes"
situation with concepts/terms like "digitally authentic" and "skeuomorphism is bad".
Yes, it stinks for those of us who work with the desktop day in and day out. You're not alone. But you won't find many folks who'll stand up and agree with you, because pragmatism is not
fashionable.

I am using Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.1.x64

Hi. Because this forum is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I'm moving your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

Images Change Colors between monitors while the UI stays the same

Hey! Im having an issue where photoshop changes the colors when I move the window between my monitors, seen here: http://sta.sh/04y5s60vf3j This isnt due to the monitors themselves being different, it actually changes after a few seconds of moving it inbetween the monitors. The left one has been callibrated with a spyder 3 elite which I no longer have access to. I applied the file with windows color management instead of the spyder utility. The second one is new, and it is not callibrated by anything, but instead was done by hand with the built in brightness/contrast/custom RGB settings. Both of them are very close to eachother, enough so for my tastes. but when photoshop changes what the image looks like, it's causing problems. Interestingly enough, when I disable callibration for the monitor on the left, the image does not change colors between monitors, but instead always appears as it does on the right. but then they don't match up and the whole screen looked washed out because it's uncallibrated, so that doesnt do me any good. Another interesting thing to point out, is when this image is saved as a .JPG, and viewed with firefox the image appears exactly like the monitor on the LEFT (which is my main monitor) despite the left monitor being the one that is force changed. does anyone have any suggestions? It also appears that windows photoviewer is behaving the same way, though firefox does not. Meaning when I open an image in all 3 on the left monitor, they look the same, but when opened on the right monitor, windows photo viewer and photoshop both display the image as brighter and redder than firefox does. This is frustrating, because it seems photoshop is changing the image with my callibration on my left monitor to match what it looks like on the web, which it does. but it doesn't do this for the right monitor, or when the left is uncallibrated. Another issue I can see with this is even if the UI is the same shade of gray, the images are different between the monitors because of this change. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Alright! So I reread through all this, poked at some things on the internet, and I'm going to attempt to summarize what would be a good solution for all this (And it seems, it still won't be perfect, but to get myself into the best environment I can for not messing with images for an hour trying to make them look nice before I post them to the web. I painted something yesterday on the cintiq, popped it over to my laptop screen and it just looked washed out and terrible.)
1. Get a X-rite EODIS3 i1 Display Pro, Callibrate laptop and cintiq. I do have the money to drop on something like this, especially if it's a time saver.
     Things I'm not sure about:
          a. There was a ton of complaints about the software not working when I checked reviews, but also a ton that said everything was great. most of them were mac users though.
          b. I'm not sure if problems would still be posed, even while calibrated, by me having a wide gamut monitor.
          c. I'm a terrible excuse for a human being and I think the colors showing up brighter on the wide gamut screen is pretty (I should just make my images this bright on a normal screen and there won't be any issues. >.>)
2. Set Firefox to color manage (easy enough)
3. Change my photoshop working space to sRGB (since they'll have been calibrated at this point)
3. Accept the fact that most of the people who look at my work will be doing so on a monitor that is almost certainly uncalibrated, and I can't control what they will see on my screen, but I CAN control if the colors are -actually- what I want them to be on any properly calibrated device. which is probably the best way to go anyways.
4. Make paintings, have fun.
Now, you two have been going on about all sorts of interesting things in here, and it seems that calibration issue run much much deeper than I ever thought. Do either of you have recommendations for how I should tweak this list of things to do or other things I can/ should do? I'm not currently a working professional, but if I have anything to say about it, I will be within a few years (I'm going to school for illustration and studying concept design on my own time) so it'd be useful for me to get into good habits now.

Can anyone tell me why a picture would change color when I try to download/upload it? It is the exact same picture- chosen the same way and when it goes to any other program it changes the color (I've tried canvas on demand and mpixpro. I've also tried

Can anyone tell me why this picture changes color when I try to download/upload it? It is the exact same picture I have taken from the same location. The image on the left is via preview and the image on the right is what is shows like when I try to download it. I have emailed it to myself and it shows fine on the computer and in CS4, but when I look at the download via my phone or on another computer it shows the wonky color on the right. I have checked the color space shows RGB/8 bit. Any ideas why or how to fix it? It isn't with any one specific session.... and I've tried it on both my desktop and my laptop- saved image to an external hard drive and to drop box. I've tried sending the image to canvas on demand, my email, mpxipro, POST editing- all the same result. Please HELP!! What am I doing wrong?

Most of the time you see something like that. The image in question has a color profile other then sRGB. Some image viewers/displayers are color managed and others are not. So the image do not look the same in all of the applications you use. So colors seem to change.
Try converting it to sRGB color and see if then looks the same all around. Also I think PC and Mac displays are set to different gamma something like 1.8 and 2.2
Though I'm colorblind I even see color variations.

How to change color of selected label from list of labels?

My Problem is that I have a list of labels. RowHeaderRenderer is a row header renderer for Jtable which is rendering list items and (labels).getListTableHeader() is a method to get the list. When we click on the label this code is executed:
getListTableHeader().addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
if (e.getClickCount() >= 1)
int index = getListTableHeader().locationToIndex(e.getPoint());
try
if (((ae_AlertEventInfo)theAlerts.values().toArray()[index]).ackRequiredFlag)
AcknowledgeEvent ackEvent = new AcknowledgeEvent(
this, (ae_AlertEventInfo)theAlerts.values().toArray()[index]);
fireAcknowledgeEvent(ackEvent);
((HeaderListModel)listModel).setElementAt(ACK, index);
catch(Exception ex) {;}
Upon mouse click color of the label should be changed. For some period of time ie. Upto completion of fireAcknowledgeEvent(ackEvent);
This statement is calling this method:
public void handleAcknowledgeEvent(final AcknowledgeEvent event)
boolean ackOk = false;
int seqId = ((ae_AlertEventInfo)event.getAlertInfo()).sequenceId;
if (((ae_AlertEventInfo)event.getAlertInfo()).ackRequiredFlag)
try
// perform call to inform server about acknowledgement.
ackOk = serviceAdapter.acknowledge(seqId,
theLogicalPosition, theUserName);
catch(AdapterException aex)
Log.error(getClass(), "handleAcknowledgeEvent()",
"Error while calling serviceAdapter.acknowledge()", aex);
ExceptionHandler.handleException(aex);
else
// Acknowledge not required...
ackOk = true;
//theQueue.buttonAcknowledge.setEnabled(false);
final AlertEventQueue myQueue = theQueue;
if (ackOk)
Object popupObj = null;
synchronized (mutex)
if( hasBeenDismissed ) { return; }
// mark alert event as acknowledged (simply reset ack req flag)
ae_AlertEventInfo info;
Iterator i = theAlerts.values().iterator();
while (i.hasNext())
info = (ae_AlertEventInfo) i.next();
if (info.sequenceId == seqId)
// even if ack wasn't required, doesn't hurt to set it
// to false again. But it is important to prevent the
// audible from playing again.
info.ackRequiredFlag = false;
info.alreadyPlayed = true;
// internally uses the vector index so
// process the queue acknowledge update within
// the synchronize block.
final ae_AlertEventInfo myAlertEventInfo = event.getAlertInfo();
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
myQueue.acknowledge(myAlertEventInfo);
myQueue.updateAcknowledgeButtonState();
// here we should stop playing sound
// if it is playing for this alert.
int seqId1;
if (theTonePlayer != null)
seqId1 = theTonePlayer.getSequenceId();
if (seqId1 == seqId)
if (! theTonePlayer.isStopped())
theTonePlayer.stopPlaying();
theTonePlayer = null;
// get reference to popup to be dismissed...
// The dismiss must take place outside of
// the mutex... otherwise threads potentially
// hang (user hits "ok" and is waiting for the
// mutex which is currently held by processing
// for a "move to summary" transition message.
// if the "dismiss" call in the transition
// message were done within the mutex, it might
// hang on the dispose method because the popup
// is waiting for the mutex...
// So call popup.dismiss() outside the mutex
// in all cases.
if(event.getSource() instanceof AlertEventPopup)
popupObj = (AlertEventPopup)event.getSource();
else
popupObj = thePopups.get(event.getAlertInfo());
thePopups.remove(event.getAlertInfo());
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
// search vector elements to determine icon color in main frame
String color = getColor();
fireUpdateEvent(new UpdateEvent(this, blinking, color));
// Call dismiss outside of the mutex.
if (popupObj !=null)
if(popupObj instanceof AlertEventPopup)
((AlertEventPopup)popupObj).setModal(false);
((AlertEventPopup)popupObj).setVisible(false); // xyzzy
((AlertEventPopup)popupObj).dismiss();
else
// update feedback... ack failed
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
myQueue.setInformationMessage("Acknowledge failed to reach server... try again");
return;
Code for RowHeaderRenderer is:
class RowHeaderRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer
JTable theTable = null;
ImageIcon image = null;
RowHeaderRenderer(JTable table)
image = new ImageIcon(AlertEventQueue.class.getResource("images" + "/" + "alert.gif"));
theTable = table;
JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();
setOpaque(true);
setHorizontalAlignment(LEFT);
setForeground(header.getForeground());
setBackground(header.getBackground());
setFont(header.getFont());
public Component getListCellRendererComponent( JList list, Object value,
int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus)
int level = 0;
try
level = Integer.parseInt(value.toString());
catch(Exception e)
level = 0;
if (((ae_AlertEventInfo)theAlerts.values().toArray()[index]).ackRequiredFlag)
setBorder(UIManager.getBorder("TableHeader.cellBorder"));
this.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
this.setVerticalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
setIcon(image);
else
setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.gray));
setText("");
setIcon(null);
return this;
I tried but when i am clicking a particular label, the color of all labels in the List is being changed. So can you please assist me in changing color of only the label that is selected and the color must disappear after completion of Upto completion of fireAcknowledgeEvent(ackEvent);

im a bit confused with the post so hopefully this will help you, if not then let me know.
I think the problem is that in your renderer your saying
setBackground(header.getBackground());which is setting the backgound of the renderer rather than the selected item, please see an example below, I created a very simple program where it adds JLabels to a list and the renderer changes the colour of the selected item, please note the isSelected boolean.
Object "value" is the currentObject its rendering, obviously you may need to test if its a JLabel before casting it but for this example I kept it simple.
populating the list
public void populateList(){
        DefaultListModel model = new DefaultListModel();
        for (int i=0;i<10;i++){
            JLabel newLabel = new JLabel(String.valueOf(i));
            newLabel.setOpaque(true);
            model.addElement(newLabel);
        this.jListExample.setModel(model);
        this.jListExample.setCellRenderer(new RowHeaderRenderer());
    }the renderer
class RowHeaderRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer
    JTable theTable = null;
    public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value,
                                                  int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus){
        JLabel aLabel = (JLabel)value;
        if (isSelected){
            aLabel.setBackground(Color.RED);
        }else{
            aLabel.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
        return aLabel;
}

Changing color without modifying existing items.. problem!

Hello,
I'm reletively new to flash, and am trying to modify a template and am running into a problem and I don't seem to know why Flash is acting so strange.
I am going into a movie clip to edit the color of an item, and when I do so with a tint, it overrides any additional effects such as light, and text. The color appears almost as if it were just slapped on top of everything.
When I edit the color in advanced mode, it is really a hit-or-miss to get the correct color, and will only modify when changing the offset RGB.
And also when doing this, the text gradually changes color, for example: there are 4 items in total that I want to edit the color of. Each item is a different colored box with text on the front (for a main Navigation of the website). --- The first item, the text will stay white. Gradually through the second and third items it starts to change, and by the fourth / last item, the text is completely blue.
Is it possible for a portion of text to be connected somehow to an object within the animation in a movieclip? If so, is it possible to go inside and edit this? -the shape, animation, and text?
Is there an easier way to change the color of an item inside a movie clip? I can supply additional information if needed.. files etc.
Am I doing something wrong / completely missing something?
Thank you very much in advance for any help and/or advice!
New Flasher,
Lisa

go one level deeper than the movieclip so you're editing the shape.

How to create a radio button that changes colors

I'm using Acrobat X and ID CS5 on Mac OS X.
A couple of years ago someone on the forums explained to me how to create a button that changes color with each click. You can view a sample PDF at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52882455/colorcycle.pdf. They gave me the document JS and showed me how to set the properties of the button. I've integrated the button into a particular series of PDF forms and it's worked out very well.
Now I would like to do the same thing, but using a circle instead of a square. Can anyone tell me the best way to do this? Can I somehow set a radio button to cycle through colors in the same way? I design my forms initially in ID CS5 and then activate and format the fields in Acrobat X. I've tried using circles instead of squares in my ID document, but when I export to an interactive PDF, they're converted to squares.
Any ideas?

I understand how to make buttons cycle through colors-- the problem I'm having is that I'm trying to figure out how to make a circular button cycle through colors. When I export my ID document to PDF, my round button maintains it's original appearance, but when I click on it to cycle through the colors, it behaves like a square (see new PDF at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52882455/colorcycle2.pdf).
If I use a radio button, I can get it to cycle through colors, but I don't want it to have a black dot in the middle. Is there a way to format the radio button to not show the black dot when clicked?

Manually change color of Exchange calendar in iCal?

Good evening. Got kind of an odd problem...and not really sure when it became an issue, although I think it happened after I upgraded to Lion. But for whatever reason I cannot get to the 'Get Info' part of one of my calendars that is an Exchange calendar. I can right-click on all of my iCloud calendars and get to the get info section in order to change colors, sharing, etc, but when I click the get info option on my Exchange calendar, nothing happens.
Not sure when this became the case, because I know I used to be able to change the color.
Was wondering if maybe there was a preference file that I could manually edit in order to change the color, or if someone else has run into this and found a solution.
Thanks a bunch.

Hi guys,
"googling" I found this applescript:
tell application "iCal"
set color of calendar "Calendar" to choose color default color {0, 0, 0}
end tell
Waiting for an Apple fix, you can use this. It's wok like a charm!

I need help highlighting an expiration date on my Numbers '09 spreadsheet. I want the text/fill of a cell to change color when the expiration date of an item is within 180 days of the current date.

I need help highlighting cells on my Numbers '09 spreadsheet. I want the cell text/fill to change color when the date is 180 days or less from the current date. I already have a cell with the current date in it. I also know how to change the fill/text colors. All the cells have been formatted to show date only. I am having trouble with the formula. I can get to the Conditional Formatting menu and select "With Dates" but after that I am lost. Can anyone help?
Thank you for any assistance.

How do i get my events to change colors when i add new ones in my calendar

How do I get my events to change colors when I add a new event in my calendar?

When you add an event and you see the heading "Calendar", do you see a name to the right of it such as "Work"? If you tap on the heading "Calendar" does it show you a list of calendars?
I'm basing this on my experience using iCal on a Mac to sync with my iPad. I created a number of calendars on the Mac and assigned them different colors. Those appear on my iPad. I don't know how to create additional calendars on the iPad alone - I must create them in iCal or MobileMe then they show up on the iPad. Are you using a Mac or MobileMe?

How do I get a field to automatically select a value and change color based on another automatic field?

Here is the situation:
I have a row on a form called Finding Risk Rating. In this row are four fields: Probability, Severity, Risk Rating, Color.
Probability is a drop down menu with the following values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Severity is a drop down menu with the following values: A, B, C, D, E
Risk Rating is a field that I have a custom calculation script:
var riskRating = this.getField("Probability").value+this.getField("Severity").value;
event.value = riskRating;
So, when I pick Probability = 1 and Severity = D, Risk Rating will automatically change to 1D, etc. This works fine on the surface as far as I can tell.
The part where I am stuck, is the fourth field Color.
Ideally, I want Color to be automatically populated depending on the value of Risk Rating. For example, for 1E I would want it to say "YELLOW" and the field to change color to yellow. For 1A it would be "GREEN" with the color green, etc.
I tried doing an if else for all cases, but it never refreshes to the correct value. I then checked using app.alert to see what fields riskRating and colorRank are (see code below), and I noticed that riskRating never changes, even though the value in Risk Rating changes. Is there a way to order script(s) so that if I execute one, the other will follow? I'm new to scripting for forms and haven't done any programming in 10+ years, so feel free to rip my code in favor or something more efficient, or direct me to a good resource I can learn from.
Here's the basis of what I have for scripting on Color. It's brief because I wanted to test it out before writing every 'if else' statement.
var colorRank;
var riskRating = this.getField("Risk Rating").value;
if (riskRating = "1E") colorRank = "YELLOW";
else if (riskRating = "1A") colorRank = "GREEN";
else if (riskRating = "5A") colorRank = "RED";
event.value = colorRank;
app.alert("colorRank = " + colorRank + ", riskRating = " + riskRating);
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

One problem is if more than one combo box item has the same number associated with it, you cannot simply set the export value to the corresponding number since they need to be unique (or the user interface behaves weird). One thing you can do is set up an object to associate a list item with a value, and look up the value in code when a list item is selected.
