Choose color with script

[Robert Poland]

Hi,I have a script that resizes an image to fill the screen by adding a border.I would like the option of selecting the color by an actual color table, not by selecting a hex number.The dictionary was no help.Any suggestions?TIA,Robert PolandGraphicConverter 8.0 (854)2.7 GHz Intel Core I5, 27” iMac  12 GB Ram, 1TB HD, OS 10.7.3

Hi,you have to set the color value directly in hex/decimal (range 0..65535).Thorsten On 18.05.2012, at 15:54, Robert Poland wrote:   Hi,I have a script that resizes an image to fill the screen by adding a border.I would like the option of selecting the color by an actual color table, not by selecting a hex number.The dictionary was no help.Any suggestions?TIA,

Thorsten,my apologies, I forgot to "tell window 1" tell window 1 to set foreground color to {32000}That works.

Hello Robert,a color is defined this way:black {0, 0, 0]white {65535, 65535, 65535}A color has always the components red, green and blue (in that order).Thorsten On 18.05.2012, at 16:42, Robert Poland wrote:   Thorsten,Interesting, {0} is Black and {65535} is red, not white.On May 18, 2012, at 8:21 AM, Thorsten Lemke wrote:.
