Change annot fill colour only if one exists

[lidds]

I am changing the annotation colour to grey when being imported using the following code:

Code: Select all

 options("SColor").v = "rgbd(128,128,128)"
                                options("Flags").v = PXC_AnnotFlag.AF_Print + PXC_AnnotFlag.AF_ContentLocked + PXC_AnnotFlag.AF_Locked + PXV_OpModifyAnnotMaskFlags.OpModifyAnnot_SColor
                                options("Mask").v = PXV_OpModifyAnnotMaskFlags.OpModifyAnnot_Flags + PXV_OpModifyAnnotMaskFlags.OpModifyAnnot_SColor

Which works fine. However I also want to change the fill colour of the annotation element to grey, which I know I can do by using the following code:

Code: Select all

 options("SColor").v = "rgbd(128,128,128)"
 options("FColor").v = "rgbd(128,128,128)"
                                options("Flags").v = PXC_AnnotFlag.AF_Print + PXC_AnnotFlag.AF_ContentLocked + PXC_AnnotFlag.AF_Locked + PXV_OpModifyAnnotMaskFlags.OpModifyAnnot_SColor + PXV_OpModifyAnnotMaskFlags.OpModifyAnnot_FColor
                                options("Mask").v = PXV_OpModifyAnnotMaskFlags.OpModifyAnnot_Flags + PXV_OpModifyAnnotMaskFlags.OpModifyAnnot_SColor + PXV_OpModifyAnnotMaskFlags.OpModifyAnnot_FColor

The problem that I have, is if the annotation element did not have a fill colour applied then the above code will now add a fill colour to the annotation element. Therefore how can I just change the fill colour if one exists?

Thanks

Hello Simon,

When you are modifying the annotations, you are making their list as the input. There you can filter out the unneeded IPXC_Annotations and just don't give them to the modification operation. Or do a separate modification for them.

Thanks Alex, I get I can build up a separate list of annotations that I want to change the fill colour of and apply the fill options to that list, however is there a command to tell if an annotation item has a full applied to it?

Thanks

Hello Simon,

You will have to get the https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... ext_FColor and see the Type if the IColor:
