Re: [racket-users] Re: ask a pict its colour?

2020-04-20 Thread Spencer Florence
You could use pict/convert to make a wrapper that remembers the color:

```
#lang racket
(require pict pict/convert)
(struct pict+color (pict color)
  #:property prop:pict-convertible
  (lambda (x) (pict+color-pict x)))

(define (my-colorize p c)
  (pict+color
   (colorize p c)
   c))

(define (get-color p)
  (and
   (pict+color? p)
   (pict+color-color p)))
  ```

This would be a little unreliable, as only the direct result of
`my-colorize` would have a retrievable color, but it might work for your
purposes.

I basically agree with Alex, as the internal structures of pict don't
really keep information in that way, but a "best effort" might be to
draw it into a bitmap and then use the bitmap to find the average
color or the most common color (perhaps with some error bounds on what
colors count as "the same") or something like that.

[racket-users] Re: ask a pict its colour?

2020-04-18 Thread Alex Harsanyi

I don't think such a procedure can be written. at least not for the general 
case.

First, the color of `(filled-rectangle 30 30)` is not black, but whatever 
color was installed in the drawing context when the filled rectangle was 
rendered.  You can change it to red using:

(colorize (filled-rectangle 20 20) "red")

Even if you could inspect the colorize pict, it would still not be 
sufficient for a general `get-color` function.  Users can write their own 
pict constructors using dc:


(define colors (list "red" "green" "blue" "yellow"))

(define (my-red-colorize other-pict)
  (dc (lambda (dc dx dy)

(define color (list-ref colors (random (length colors

(define old-pen (send dc get-pen))
(send dc set-pen (new pen% [width 1] [color color]))

(draw-pict other-pict dc dx dy)

(send dc set-pen old-pen))
  (pict-width other-pict)
  (pict-height other-pict)))

And a call like `(my-red-colorize (filled-rectangle 20 20))` will only 
result in a red rectangle about 25% of the time.

Even if you want to ignore cases like the above, what should `get-color` 
return for the picture below?

(hc-append (colorize (filled-rectangle 20 20) "red") (colorize 
(filled-rectangle 
20 20) "blue"))
