Re: Sorting lines on colour (color for some)
Hi from beautiful Brittany, Jacqueline, I was already in a repeat loop to colour lines which contained certain field names, so I just tacked in the addition of the RGB, and then sorted the field. Then I added a three line repeat loop to remove the RGB data, and got what I wanted. So I found, for my case, a short way to solve my problem. Howver, I agree that sorting data on any type of colour parameter is an interesting addition (LOW, LOW priority) to livecode. And I have more interesting code suggestions, from you all, for the future. Thanks again to all. -Francis ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Sorting lines on colour (color for some)
Hi from Beautiful Brittany, Thanks to all you guys (and Jacqueline) for the wealth of suggestions to solve my little problem. That’s a lot of brain power out there. I had thought of tacking the colour code onto each line, sorting by the normal way, and then stripping off the code. But I knew that someone out there would have a mind-blowing answer ! I like the regex use.

Re: Sorting lines on colour (color for some)
Hi Mike, I like your idea to use styledText very much. It turns out that for the backgroundColor of a line it is not too bad to handle. --- local sCounter = 0 local sStyles = on mouseUp put 0 into sCounter put the styledText of field fData into sStyles sort lines of field fData numeric ascending by myColor(each) end mouseUp function myColor add 1 to sCounter put sStyles[sCounter][style][backgroundColor] into tRGB if tRGB = then -- no backgroundColor return 0 end if return item 1 of tRGB -- test for redness -- or do anything you want with R,G,B end myColor the real problem starts when you have the RGB value. What do you want to sort if it is a generic handler for all sorts of colors (e.g. any line of the colorNames) I made a version where I use Raney's conversion from RGB to HSV, then you can sort by Color (H=Hue), Saturation(S) and Blackness (V=Value). But still it is not what one expects. It sorts alright but it all depends on how you want your colors sorted. That makes a sort by backgroundColor (RGB value) less useful. Kind regards Bernd Scott Raney's RGB to HSV is in stack revColorChooser which on my Mac is in Livecode bundle Contents-Tools-Toolset- revcolorchooser.rev in the script of group HSV, there is also the other way around HSV to RGB. here is RGB to HSV --- function RGBtoHSV r, g, b local maxv, minv, diff, s, rc, gc, bc, h set the numberFormat to 0.### put r / 255 into r put g / 255 into g put b / 255 into b put max(r,g,b) into maxv put min(r,g,b) into minv put maxv - minv into diff if maxv 0 and diff 0 then put diff / maxv into s put (maxv - r) / diff into rc put (maxv - g) / diff into gc put (maxv - b) / diff into bc if r = maxv then put bc - gc into h else if g = maxv then put 2 + rc - bc into h else if b = maxv then put 4 + gc - rc into h multiply h by 60 if h 0 then add 360 to h end if else put 0 into s put 0 into h end if return round(h),round(s * 100),round(maxv * 100) end RGBtoHSV -- -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Sorting-lines-on-colour-color-for-some-tp4683418p4683474.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Sorting lines on colour (color for some)
I thought this would work: sort lines of field X by the backgroundcolor of each ... but it doesn't. I'm guessing because the lines go into some sort of internal variable to be sorted at which point they lose their backgroundcolor property. Here's a handler that does it, offered for improvement by others. on mouseUp local tRedLines,tYellowLines,tCounter put zero into tCounter repeat for each line rLine in field Text add 1 to tCounter if the backgroundcolor of line tCounter of field Text is 255,0,0 then put rLine return after tRedLines else put rLine return after tYellowLines end if end repeat put tRedLines tYellowLines into field Text set the backgroundcolor of line 1 to (the number of lines in tRedLines) of field Text to red set the backgroundcolor of line (the number of lines in tRedLines)+1 to -1 of field Text to yellow end mouseUp Pete lcSQL Software http://www.lcsql.com Home of lcStackBrowser http://www.lcsql.com/lcstackbrowser.html and SQLiteAdmin http://www.lcsql.com/sqliteadmin.html On Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 9:46 AM, Francis Nugent Dixon effe...@wanadoo.fr wrote: Hi from Beautiful Brittany (where, finally, it is raining), I have a list in a field, with backgroundcolor of some lines red, some yellow.

the function this way:
function getHtmlColors L

Re: Sorting lines on colour (color for some)
I made this more robust, though no more effective:
on mouseUp
sort lines of fld 1 numeric by item 1 of the effective foregroundColor of
each item 2 of the effective foregroundColor of each item 3 of the
effective foregroundColor of each
end mouseUp
This so 0,255,255 does not sort the same as 255,0,255. And I tried using
effective, as per Phil and as shown, but still no.
Peter, you need foreground color, not backgroundColor.
So again, before I call Jacque, why does this not work? Maybe calling the
sortKey as a function? That should not fix it, though it would look prettier.

Re: Sorting lines on colour (color for some)
My script works with background color so I guess that must be the right property. It would be great if something like sort lines of field x by the backgroundcolor of each just worked though. Not just with backgroundcolor but with any property of a line in a field. Worth an enhancement request?

Re: Sorting lines on colour (color for some)
No time to test right now, but shouldn't it be possible to use the styledtext array as part of the sort? The data in the array is in the form of.. myArray[tCounter][runs][1][style][textColor] where tCounter is the line number (aka, paragraph number) It can get complicated fast if lines have more than 1 run, but maybe something in there could be useful. Just thinking off the top of my head, grab the array, flatten it and tack on the text for each line, do the sort on the colors, (though if there is a line with no color set, the array entry for that line will be empty, but the array key for the paragraph does exist, not sure how to handle an unset textcolor key yet), rebuild the array, renumbering by paragraph based on the new line positions, then pop the text back into the field, and set the styledtext to the new array. Could be a royal pain, but a pain that works is better than a simple that doesn't. On Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 3:46 PM, dunb...@aol.com wrote: I thought the OP wanted colored text. Anyway, the backColor does not sort either, using the same code. Jacque, why doesn't the thing sort? Craig -Original Message- From: J.
