Hi,

I found out what the Color by attribute tool (the big L) does. It seems to 
delete the per feature color attributes so that the style defined for the whole 
layer is applied. I think that the name of the tool is not the best possible. 
Could it rather be “Use layer color” of “Default color” or something like that?

Hi,

Please remember also that JML has support in GDAL and it is aware of R_G_B 
http://www.gdal.org/drv_jml.html. I wonder it new Color chooser now requires 
that both R_G_B and COLOR exist. It is rather simple for the external tools to 
write the RGB values into R_G_B field while they probably do not know what 
color index number they should use.

Peppe,

In Dxf driver, I create a default schema with a COLOR attribute which is the 
name used in dxf to set features color.

But the role of this attribute is very similar to the one added in Color 
Chooser plugin (R_G_B)

I would have no objection to change one of them (store color information from 
dxf into R_G_B attribute or rename
R_G_B to COLOR) if it could simplify things.

Maybe R_G_B has less chance to collide to another user attribute...

Hi Jukka

Color chooser if formed by two icons on the toolbar:
(a) one square icon that is colored by the "actual color". If the user select a 
feature and click on this icon, the geometry is colored
(b) the menu of th tools (Color menu, pick etc)

>There is a new Color picker tool in the Set color toolbox.
It helps in this situation: 1) you have an already colorized feature (by using 
(a) tool), 2) you want to resume the color but 3) button (a) shows a different 
color.
Using Color picked on the feature resumes the color value from the feature and 
re-colorize the (a) icon

>It show the index number of the color and shows RGB values in the lower left 
>corner, in a box that claims that the value can be copied into clipboard
It is a side effect as I used lower left corner to visualized the value of the 
color... and lower left corner box text can be copied into the clipboard...

>Color by attribute tool
If you have colorized a feature using a) and you want to restore the original 
color /style set by attrubute or else, colo by attribute tool reset the 
original style (delating "COLOR" and "R_G_B" attribute of the feature


Color chooser seems to be "oversized" comparing to what  was the original idea 
of SkyJUMP (to color few features to identify between others). I use this tool 
to work together with CAD files, if I export to dxf a set of feature with 
"COLOR" attributes, those area automatically trasformed into DXF COLOR values

Hi,

There is a new Color picker tool in the Set color toolbox. It show the index 
number of the color and shows RGB values in the lower left corner, in a box 
that claims that the value can be copied into clipboard. For me it seems that 
copy-paste does not work. Is there some other purpose for the tool? Another 
question is about the Color by attribute tool. What it really does and how 
should I use it?
