I have a question related to eclipse plugin development. Is there any means
by which I can programmatically change the background color in eclipse.
I am able to change the text foreground color by calling
setTextColor(color, offset, length, controlRedraw) in ITextViewer
but I don't find any function by which I can change the background
color of the text.
If anyone has been through this kindly share your thoughts.
Thanks

I am not sure this can be done easily, short of extending your own version of a Text Editor, here you provide a Configuration Class which inturn accepts a PresentationReconciler Class which is like a Rule Class that tells you if you need to put a Foreground or a Background Color
See this document
PresentationReconciler
IPresentationDamager: define dirty region given a text change
IPresentationRepairer: recreate presentation for dirty region
DefaultDamagerRepairer does both, based on a token scanner
ITokenScanner: parse text into a token stream
RuleBasedScanner uses simple rules
Extract from the presentation

Here, the null background color means, takes the default system background for that widget. (so here: white).
But you could specify whatever color you want, based on the partitioning of your document and on the rules that would apply.
I know this was asked a while ago, but in case anyone is looking for another solution, I thought I would post the following:
Since you are able to use the setTextColor method, then you should be able to use the changeTextPresentation method as well.
In the case of my plug-in, I have a TextListener that calls the TextChanged method I overwrote. I did the following to add background color using the changeTextPresentation method. In doing so, I was able to get a Green background with Black foreground. Not that I would want this, of course, but just for testing purposes.
public void TextChanged(TextEvent event){
...
TextPresentation presentation = new TextPresentation();
TextAttribute attr = new TextAttribute(new ColorManager().getColor(MyConstants.BLACK),
new ColorManager().getColor(MyConstants.GREEN), style);
presentation.addStyleRange(new StyleRange(startOffset, tokLength, attr.getForeground(),
attr.getBackground());
sourceViewer.changeTextPresentation(presentation, true); //sourceViewer is a global variable passed to my TextListener class constructor.
}

I sometimes wonder what vscode's default widget color is. For example: when I use a github theme, I find that it only defines one part of the color internally, so where is the other part defined, and how do I view it.
For example, when I look at the color scheme of the topic by Developer : generator color theme... command, the undefined part is always shown in the form of comments(e.g "activityBar.activeBackground": null,). How can I see the color of this annotated section?
Some lists and tables gray out their selection when they lose keyboard focus.
In the presence of multiple lists/tables, this helps communicate to the user which selection is active.
Is there an easy way to do this with NatTable?
The best I've come up with so far is to flip between different attributes for DisplayMode.SELECT as focus comes and goes -- but I'm not sure I can do that after NatTable.configure() has been called.
Yes you can change configuration attributes dynamically after NatTable#configure() has been called. That is a common approach for dynamic changes. Another approach would be to configure a selection style for a special label and apply that label only in case the table is active. This approach can be seen in this example.
https://github.com/eclipse/nebula.widgets.nattable/blob/master/org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.nattable.examples/src/org/eclipse/nebula/widgets/nattable/examples/_500_Layers/_505_Selection/_5054_SelectionProviderExample.java
I have this working, after #DirkFauth's answer. This answer includes some specifics.
After the table has been configured with NatTable.configure(), you can modify the configuration not with NatTable.addConfiguration(IConfiguration), but instead by calling IConfiguration.configureRegistry(IConfigRegistry). For example:
myConfiguration.configureRegistry( myTable.getConfigRegistry() )
Within that implementation of configureRegistry(), you can set the style for selected and anchor cells:
configRegistry.registerConfigAttribute(CellConfigAttributes.CELL_STYLE,
selectedStyle, DisplayMode.SELECT, GridRegion.BODY);
configRegistry.registerConfigAttribute(CellConfigAttributes.CELL_STYLE,
anchorStyle, DisplayMode.SELECT,
SelectionStyleLabels.SELECTION_ANCHOR_STYLE);
When the table is inactive, selectedStyle and anchorStyle can be modified clones of their usual setting. For example:
private static Color myInactiveColor = ...;
public static Style makeInactiveBodyCellStyleFrom(#Nonnull Style style) {
Style rv = style.clone();
rv.setAttributeValue( CellStyleAttributes.BACKGROUND_COLOR,
myInactiveColor );
return rv;
}
Similar work can be done for the styles of selected row and column headers.
I am making a tool in Unity to build your project for muliple platforms when you press a button.
I started with the preferences window for the tool, and came up with an anoying thing. Whenever I change the enum value of the EnumPopup field, the field turns blue in the editor window. Is there a way to disable this?
See how in the 2nd picture the field is not blue, and in the 3rd picture the field has changed to blue? How do I prevent this from happening?
Thanks in advance!
Difficult to help without having the rest of your code.
This is Unity built-in behaviour. I tried a lot of stuff see here to disable / overwrite the built-in coloring of prefix labels but had no luck so far.
A workarround however might be to instead use an independent EditorGUI.LabelField which will not be affected by the EnumPopup together with the EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth:
var LabelRect = new Rect(
FILEMANAGEMENT_ENUMFIELD_RECT.x,
FILEMANAGEMENT_ENUMFIELD_RECT.y,
// use the current label width
EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth,
FILEMANAGEMENT_ENUMFIELD_RECT.height
);
var EnumRect = new Rect(
FILEMANAGEMENT_ENUMFIELD_RECT.x + EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth,
FILEMANAGEMENT_ENUMFIELD_RECT.y,
FILEMANAGEMENT_ENUMFIELD_RECT.width - EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth,
FILEMANAGEMENT_ENUMFIELD_RECT.height
);
EditorGUI.LabelField(LabelRect, "File relative to");
QuickBuilder.Settings.Relation = (QuickBuilder.Settings.PathRelation)EditorGUI.EnumPopup(EnumRect, QuickBuilder.Settings.Relation);
As you can see the label is not turned blue while the width keeps being flexible
Sidenotes
Instead of setting values via edito scripts directly like
QuickBuilder.Settings.Relation = you should always try and use the proper SerializedProperty. It handles things like Undo/Redo and also marks the according objects and scenes as dirty.
Is there also a special reason why you use EditorGUI instead of EditorGUILayout? In the latter you don't need to setup Rects.
EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
{
EditorGUILayout.LabelField("File relative to", GUILayout.Width(EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth));
QuickBuilder.Settings.Relation = (QuickBuilder.Settings.PathRelation)EditorGUILayout.EnumPopup(QuickBuilder.Settings.Relation);
}
EditorGUILayout.EndHorizontal();
I have built a bokeh app that allows users to select windows in data and run python code to find and label (with markers) extreme values within these limits. For ease of interaction, I use the box select tool for the range selection. My problem arises when repeating this process for subsequent cases. After markers are placed for the results, they are rendered invisible by setting alpha to zero and another case needs to be chosen. When the new select box includes previous markers, they become visible based on the selection. How do I override this default behavior? Can markers be made unselectable? or can I add code to the customJS to hide them after they are selected?
Thanks in advance for any help!
There are a few possible approaches. If you just want non-selected glyphs to "disappear" visually, you can set a policy to do that as described here:
http://docs.bokeh.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/styling.html#selected-and-unselected-glyphs
Basically, for bokeh.plotting, pass
nonselection_fill_alpha=0.0,
nonselection_line_alpha=0.0,
as arguments to your plot.circle call or whatever. Or if you are using the low level bokeh.models interface, something like:
renderer.nonselection_glyph = Circle(fill_alpha=0.0, line_alpha=0.0)
But be aware (I think you already are) that the invisible markers are still there, and still selectable if the user happens to draw a box over them with the selection tool.
If you truly want only a subset of the data to be visible and selectable after a selection, I'd say you want to replace the data in the column data source wholesale with the subset in your selection callback.
GWT newbie here. I have found that when I make a TextArea read-only useful features such as dynamic expansion and even word-wrapping stops working. My intention was to move a string from one text area, append it some way to some more strings, and then add this string into my read-only TextArea. I have doing something like this:
// Temporarily enable the field to set the value of the TextArea
logTextArea.setEnabled(true);
String remarks = // my string to add into the box
if (remarks.length() > 0) {
logTextArea.setEnabled.setValue(remarks);
}
// set read-only again
logTextArea.setEnabled.setEnabled(false);
I also have to work out how many lines I now span and explicitly set the height of the box (via setVisibleLines()). I have now found that it does not word-wrap, so I've had to add some more horrible bodge-code to further split up this string.
So I'm writing code to emulate functionality that comes for free on a normal writable TextArea. Has anyone else found this issue after setting a text-field read-only? Is there another widget I could possibly use to display a list of read-only strings that will auto resize and auto wrap for me?
Many thanks for your time,
tom
Text Area is fine for re-sizing and auto word wrap, even you have your text
area as read only.
Tested now by creating a test project for gwt and it is working fine.
Also Word Wrap is the default behavior of Text area if you want to turn it off then you need to explicitly do this "getElement().setAttribute("wrap","off");
