PRINT_PACK 2.5 - Colors and Styles

***IMPORTANT: Some nodes have some changed port names.

Remove the unknown ports and re-connect the renamed ones.***

 

Here is version 2.5 of my PRINT_PACK.

 

Because I wanted more possibilities to highlight and format text, I developed a new print engine.

This new „Rich Engine“ is available alongside the previous "Fast Engine".

 

While both text engines are able to display text colors, only the Rich Engine will render font styles, text alignment and the tabulator.

 

All font properties are set using simple inline commands that start with a backslash.

An overview of all commands is included as a text file and as a Maya scene in the ZIP file.

 

 

Colors

You can use one of the eight Quick Colors, get new colors from a palette of pastel tones, or  set an RGB color with a HEX number.

 

Font Properties

Available properties are:

  • Font Cut (bold, condensed, italic, underlined and strikethrough)
  • Font Size, set with a HEX number
  • Alignment left, center and right

 

Print_Object_Dump

The compound print_object_dump displays the property hierarchy of an Amino object.

New in V2.5 is:

Display the hierarchy only to a certain level, the rest in collapsed

Collapse object arrays

Display sub-objects of a certain level (or ALL levels) in different colors to get a better overview.

Display brackets to highlight the elements of object arrays.

 

Highlight array elements in print_table and print_object_properties

Provide a Boolean array to highlight lines in the table.

The in-line command to highlight the text and to disable highlighting are provided in prefix and postfix strings.

The compound highlight_array_elements provides the same function for individual columns.

 

Prefix for Description and Value in Four_Values_To_String

To simplify labeling and formatting of print values there are "prefix" fields for description and values built into the compounds print_static, print_scrolling and four_values_to_string.

 

---> Download the ZIP file at the end of this post.
