Color Source Tool

 
 
 

The Color Source tool lets you create images with a variety of properties and in several formats. The Color Source tool is comprised of two sets of color channel value fields that allow you to generate a single color image based on RGBA values. One set of values is for generating the fill color and the other set is for generating the color residing in the region of definition (ROD). The fill color is defined as those pixels residing outside the ROD.

NoteThe following procedure assumes that you have a Schematic and a Player view open.

To create an image using the Color Source tool:

  1. Drag the Color Source tool from the Tools tab to the dependency graph in the Schematic view and attach it to the Output node.

    The Color Source tool UI appears.

  2. Apply image properties—see Setting Image Generation Properties and Formats.
  3. Adjust the Fill and Color values by dragging inside the value fields.
    NoteYou may also type values directly into the value fields and press Enter.
NoteThe Color Source tool's Fill and Color parameters are animatable by setting keyframes or using expressions—see Setting Keys Manually and Validating and Applying the Expression String.
