Dynamo CallJSAPI Visual Style Set Color

[chris.kepner]

I'm trying to make a dynamo graph that sets a visual style edge color for Formit.

I see in the Formit Plugin API that it calls for [in] color WSM.Color
What do I type in the String node connected to paramsJSON? I've tried every combination I can think of and it will not change the color!

I would love some guidance.

I just found some more info on another post. Made a WSM.Color call for the SetEdgeColor call. For some reason, it's still not setting the color though.

Hi @chris.kepner,

Glad you're trying this out! Sorry for the struggles.

In order to do this properly, you'll have to do some JSON and Dictionary manipulation. Basically:

• Create a dictionary with the RGBA values (using input nodes marked as IsInput so they will show up in FormIt - see below)
• Stringify that for the first CallJSAPI node (to create the WSM color)
• Parse the result of that back into JSON
• Create a new dictionary, adding the top-level "color" key
• Stringify that and send it to the second CallJSAPI node (to modify the Visual Styles)

Looks like this in the end:

I've attached the sample graph itself for you to use.

Since this is a "Data Graph," when you click the thumbnail in the Dynamo panel to run it, you'll get the inputs exposed in FormIt directly, so you can adjust the colors without having the Dynamo graph editor running:

Hope this helps.
