not enough colors

[yeKcim]

there is a lack of possibility for lines color (in graph)

Sometimes (just as example), you've got 6 curves to display (3 theoretical and 3 measured), colors could be used to mean something (red gradient for theoretical, blue one for measured). There is a lot of examples where colors mean something.

The choice is actually too limited, I had to draw some graphs with pyplot instead of scidavis 💔

I've just remember that I opened https://sourceforge.net/p/scidavis/scidavis-bugs/278/ previously

Please change the color picker for a modern one, like https://github.com/mbasaglia/Qt-Color-Widgets/blob/master/gallery/README.md for example.

For curve color choice, let the user select more than 24 colors, it's impossible to draw a graph with 4 curves that use 4 variations of orange, for example. It could be a big problem

Hi @yeKcim ,
I agree with you that SciDAVis could have more colors available for curves. Currently, only the error bars have a rich variety of colors:

Is that difficult to always use the same powerfull color-picker in the application?

Hello,
I just hacked the colour picker into the line options. @yeKcim, would the image below represent what you imagined? Also, do you know of more color lists that should be replaced with a picker?

[yeKcim]

really good! Thanks a lot kadabash
I also see "Fill color" in the same window, and colors in sectors properties.

Hello @Kadabash

This looks great. Good job.

Also, do you know of more color lists that should be replaced with a picker?

In principle, all color lists in dialog windows could be replaced by a picker:

1. in the Analysis menu:

• Smooth -> all smooth options
• Same for FFT filter, Interpolate, FFT...
• Some fit options under Quick Fit and also in the Fit Wizard

2. in the General Plot Options:

• Grid -> Major and Minor grids

Of course, the colors of curves generated due to the use of items in 1 can be changed posteriorly in the plot details :-)
