Detailed Description

The PaletteManager JavaScript global object. Used to get information about the Colour view current selection.

An example of how to use the palette override attributes of the colour override node, using the PaletteManager:

Available attributes for getTextAttr:

  • PALETTES.NUMBER - returns the number of palettes in the palette override list
  • PALETTES.x, where x is a palette index - return the palette name (path) of the palette at index x (x >= 0)
  • If no x, or it's invalid, assume a value of 0

    Available attributes for setTextAttr:

    • PALETTES.CLEAR - clear the palette override list
    • PALETTES.ADD "palette_path" - add the palette with full path name to the palette override list. Can supply the full path or get from PaletteManager.getPalettePath(), PaletteManager.getCurrentPalettePath()
    • PALETTES.REMOVE "palette_path" - remove a palette. Can supply the full path or get from getTextAttr("node_path", atFrame, "PALETTES.x")

    Note that the frame number argument (to node.getTextAttr() and node.setTextAttr()) is unused, and the attribute value in "PALETTES.CLEAR" is unused.

    function paletteOverrideExample()
    {
    return;
    // not strictly necessary, depends on whether each setTextAttr() call should be undoable individually
    scene.beginUndoRedoAccum("Palette Overrides");
    // return the number of palettes in the palette override list
    var num = node.getTextAttr(node, 1, "PALETTES.NUMBER");
    // return the first (top-most) palette name in the palette override list (will be "" if the list is empty).
    // note that no palette number is supplied in this example, so 0 is assumed (equivalent to "PALETTES.0")
    var palette = node.getTextAttr(node, 1, "PALETTES");
    // clear (empty) the list
    node.setTextAttr(node, "PALETTES.CLEAR", 1, "");
    // should be 0
    num = node.getTextAttr(node, 1, "PALETTES.NUMBER");
    // add a palette to the palette override list
    node.setTextAttr(node, "PALETTES.ADD", 1, curpath);
    // can also specify a full path for the palette
    // node.setTextAttr(node, "PALETTES.ADD", 1, "/usadata000/.../example.plt");
    // return the first two palette names (we added one, so one should be non-empty)
    palette = node.getTextAttr(node, 1, "PALETTES.0");
    // this one should be "", only one in the list
    var palette1 = node.getTextAttr(node, 1, "PALETTES.1");
    // return the name of the last palette that we added
    num = node.getTextAttr(node, 1, "PALETTES.NUMBER");
    var index = parseInt(num);
    index--;
    var attr = "PALETTES." + index;
    palette = node.getTextAttr(node, 1, attr);
    // remove one from the list
    node.setTextAttr(node, "PALETTES.REMOVE", 1, palette);
    num = node.getTextAttr(node, 1, "PALETTES.NUMBER");
    }
