feature color

[alcesgabbo]

Hello everybody,
I have a question:

In udig it's possible to modify the "style" of a resource (select resource ->left mouse button -> modify style).
In this way it's possible to define a color for each feature based from a particolar attribute.

My question is: in which way I can retrieve the color of each resource?

It doesn't exist for example the method:

feature.getColor ????

The color is generated from a small recipe called 'style' it provided a lot of control. Often the color is made from a formula called an expression.

Examples are "#0000FF" or a function call mapping values to a color or if your attribute is already a color you can refer to it by name.

Next time you are in uDig style editor have a look.

But yeah features do not have a colour indeed they are an object and not even held in memory during rendering.

You can apply a color to a layer.  Have a look at Workthrough 1 document

The color is part of GUI behavior (view), and the feature is part of the gis
model. So, the feature does not support that getter method.
