ColorPicker problem

[Panason9c]

Hi fellow forum members,

Im a rookie scripter and im trying to get the ColorPicker to work. I don't quite understand how it works. Before you say google it- I've spent hours on this as of now, even tried searching in open source scripts  

here's the api
https://osbot.org/api/org/osbot/rs07/api/ColorPicker.html#isColorAt-int-int-java.awt.Color-
 

1)

public boolean isColorAt(int x, int y, java.awt.Color color)

• x - x coord
• y - y coord
• color - the color to look for

I understand this is to check if specified colour exists at specified coords.

I tried isColorAt(120,200,rgb(123,123,123)) for example, Also I tried isColorAt(120,200,Color.RED), nothing works

 

2)

public java.awt.Color colorAt(int x, int y)

• x - x coord
• y - y coord

This should be used to get the colour at the specified coords. I dont understand how to retrieve this data. Also, does it get the color data as RGB?

I want my code to trigger a method when "Color at mouse = R: x G: y B: z" changes Would any of you be able to help me understand this via an example.

I appreciate the help

I have tried using the colour picker on osbot before and it didn't seem to work for me so I gave up quickly and switched to traditional methods of just checking states 

The only help I can give, is to create a BufferedImage object and then check the colours there using isColorAt(x,y,z)

Just make sure to give your loop ample amounts of time

1. there are 256^3 (~16 million) possible colors. Of course the one you pick (even if it's closely resembles) will not match. It must be exact!

2. Color color = getColorPicker().colorAt(yourX, yourY);

You must import java.awt.color; https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/Color.html

Thank you for your answer!

This example is exactly what I was looking for! Mucho gracias!
