How to bake color curves with c# component

Hello

It’s a question that I followed up on my post last time. I wanted to bake curves from grasshopper to Rhino. This time I want to add and select the color of that curve on grasshopper. I wrote the following code but could not implement it.

protected override void RegisterInputParams(GH_Component.GH_InputParamManager pManager)
{
pManager.AddBooleanParameter(“Boolean”, “B”, “True or False”, GH_ParamAccess.item);
pManager.AddCurveParameter(“Curve”, “C”, “Bake curves”, GH_ParamAccess.list);
pManager.AddColourParameter(“Colour”, “C”, “Objects colour”, GH_ParamAccess.list);
}

    protected override void RegisterOutputParams(GH_Component.GH_OutputParamManager pManager)
    {
        
    }

    protected override void SolveInstance(IGH_DataAccess DA)
    {
        List<Curve> crv = new List<Curve>();
        if (!DA.GetDataList(1, crv)) return;

        List<Color> colors = new List<Color>();
        if (!DA.GetDataList(2, colors)) return;

        var objAttr = new ObjectAttributes();
        objAttr.ColorSource = ObjectColorSource.ColorFromObject;
        objAttr.ObjectColor = Color.Red;

        var t = true;
        if (!DA.GetData(0, ref t)) return;

        Rhino.DocObjects.Tables.ObjectTable ot = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.Objects;
        if (t)
        {
            foreach(Curve c in crv)
            {
                ot.Add(c, objAttr);
            }
        }
    }

What code do I need to rewrite to allow the colors to be selected on grasshopper?

For Baking a Curve with attributes:

In one very long line :wink:
You can see how attributes are initializes in in-line constructor.

Guid g1 = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.Objects.AddCurve(

MyPrettyCurve, 

new Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectAttributes { ObjectDecoration = Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectDecoration.EndArrowhead, PlotColor =  System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 0), PlotWeightSource = Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectPlotWeightSource.PlotWeightFromObject, PlotColorSource = Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectPlotColorSource.PlotColorFromObject,  ColorSource = Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectColorSource.ColorFromObject, ObjectColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 0),PlotWeight = 0.5, DisplayOrder = 1 }

);

If you want to get rhino object color, you first get GUID then cast to geometry type if possible, then retrieve object color informaiton.

It worked! Thank you Petras!

By the way, is it possible to use a “color swatch component” to specify a color?

Add in your inputs:

pManager.AddColorParameter(…)

Helped me a lot, thanks :slight_smile:
