not enough colors
there is a lack of possibility for lines color (in graph)
Sometimes (just as example), you've got 6 curves to display (3 theoretical and 3 measured), colors could be used to mean something (red gradient for theoretical, blue one for measured). There is a lot of examples where colors mean something.
The choice is actually too limited, I had to draw some graphs with pyplot instead of scidavis 💔
I've just remember that I opened https://sourceforge.net/p/scidavis/scidavis-bugs/278/ previously
Please change the color picker for a modern one, like https://github.com/mbasaglia/Qt-Color-Widgets/blob/master/gallery/README.md for example.
For curve color choice, let the user select more than 24 colors, it's impossible to draw a graph with 4 curves that use 4 variations of orange, for example. It could be a big problem
Hi @yeKcim ,
I agree with you that SciDAVis could have more colors available for curves. Currently, only the error bars have a rich variety of colors:
Is that difficult to always use the same powerfull color-picker in the application?
Hello, I just hacked the colour picker into the line options. @yeKcim, would the image below represent what you imagined? Also, do you know of more color lists that should be replaced with a picker?
really good! Thanks a lot kadabash I also see "Fill color" in the same window, and colors in sectors properties.
Hello @Kadabash
I just hacked the colour picker into the line options
This looks great. Good job.
Also, do you know of more color lists that should be replaced with a picker?
In principle, all color lists in dialog windows could be replaced by a picker:
- in the Analysis menu:
- Smooth -> all smooth options
- Same for FFT filter, Interpolate, FFT...
- Some fit options under Quick Fit and also in the Fit Wizard
- in the General Plot Options:
- Grid -> Major and Minor grids
Of course, the colors of curves generated due to the use of items in 1 can be changed posteriorly in the plot details :-)
