Histogram Legend

[AndersDeleuran]

Hi Michael, the simplest solution (and the one in your reference image I think) is to use the native Legend component and feed it a rectangle input. I’ve quickly slapped that onto the definition I posted in the other thread:

I’ve been using screen space legends/HUD’s myself for the past couple of years, as those work better during the design process I find. There are probably plugins for this, but the base GHPython methods I’ve been building these with can be found in this thread:

Draw To Screen Space Foreground From DrawViewportWires

Hi All, I’m experimenting with implementing DrawViewportWires in GHPython for drawing e.g. legends on top of 3D geometry generated in Grasshopper. Here’s a quick example: [2020-11-25 11_37_02-Window] The issue I’m trying to resolve is that the rectangles (drawn with Draw2dRectangle ) are drawn behind the 3D geometry that is drawn by Grasshopper (though it still appears to obscure the wires of the 3D mesh), while the text is drawn in the foreground: [2020-11-25 11_37_32-Window] Here’s a mi…

A more advanced bar chart built using the same methods can be seen here:

Grasshopper Text Dot visibility/overlap

While there might be plugins available, it’s certainly possible using scripting components. See e.g. this topic for a hack that enables one to draw 2D objects in screen space on top of the 3D viewport objects: To draw a text dot you can implement the DrawDot method. I’ve used this code pattern quite a bit recently for drawing HUDs etc. For instance the text dots and dynamic bar chart seen here: [2022-01-19_11_45_53-]

Also, are you the Michael Wilson of Dermoid fame?
