Color picker

[iguerra]

Is it possible to implement colour picker in Thingworx where I can choose the RGB and get just the integer values of the 3 colors ? I know for sure it is possible with a custom extension ... is there a smart way to do with current features of thingworx ?
I'm using TWX 9.6 PTC cloud hosted instantes

Hi @iguerra,

I am not aware of any ThingWorx-related solutions bundled with color picker function Out-Of-the-Box. I think the only way to achieve what you want is via a custom extension.

Do you care to explain your use case - why you need such function in Thingworx? I believe there are free online tools out there providing such functionality.

Best,

Choose a color to be used for a chart.

Don't really need full truecolor palette .. honestly may be 16 colors could be enough even from a list.

I was able to create this with some colored shapes that when clicked runs an Expression; each shape its own expression returning its specific color
all the espressions goes to an events router that get the one ckicked and return as a mashup variable.

This is working as a popup for color picking from a small list of colors
