Hello again,

I'm trying to use the method Doggy gave us for changing colours of elements of graphics on the fly, by using text blocks. Link

I opened a GTZIP file using Atom or Notepad+, and it looks largely like an XML file, but clearly isn't, as once you save vMix thinks it is corrupted.

It's these lines below I'd love to integrate somehow into the newer files, so they can target elements within the new package.

Code:
<TextBlock x:Name="HOME_COLOUR" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="16" Margin="-168,88,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="#ff0066" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="58.667" Foreground="White"/>
        <TextBlock x:Name="HOME_COLOUR_DARK" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="16" Margin="-168,108,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="#cc0052" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="58.667" Foreground="White"/>
        <TextBlock x:Name="AWAY_COLOUR" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="16" Margin="-168,128,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="#0066ff" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="58.667" Foreground="White"/>
        <TextBlock x:Name="AWAY_COLOUR_DARK" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="16" Margin="-168,148,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="#0052cc" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="58.667" Foreground="White"/>

        <Rectangle Fill="#FF212121" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="70" Margin="96,54,0,0" Stroke="Black" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="1040" Panel.ZIndex="0"/>
        <Rectangle Fill="{Binding Text, ElementName=HOME_COLOUR}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="290" Height="70" Margin="96,54,0,0" Stroke="Black" VerticalAlignment="Top" Panel.ZIndex="1" StrokeThickness="0"/>
        <Rectangle Fill="{Binding Text, ElementName=HOME_COLOUR_DARK}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="100" Height="70" Margin="386,54,0,0" Stroke="Black" VerticalAlignment="Top" Panel.ZIndex="1" StrokeThickness="0"/>
        <Rectangle Fill="{Binding Text, ElementName=AWAY_COLOUR}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="290" Height="70" Margin="486,54,0,0" Stroke="Black" VerticalAlignment="Top" Panel.ZIndex="1" StrokeThickness="0"/>
        <Rectangle Fill="{Binding Text, ElementName=AWAY_COLOUR_DARK}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="100" Height="70" Margin="776,54,0,0" Stroke="Black" VerticalAlignment="Top" Panel.ZIndex="1" StrokeThickness="0"/>


Is there any way to do this? It would be a major headache solver.

Many thanks,

Nick

Putting diesel in a petrol car isn't a good idea ;-)

That's true, but diesel clearly has a bit more range in some areas. ;)

No chance then Doggy?

Thanks

I know!
We have a statistic tool, which gives us a XML file. How can we change the the grafic "0.png", "1.png" or "2.png" if the specific field just gives us a "0", "1" or "2" in GT Titler.

Can you be a bit more specific pls!

what exactly do you want to do , based on what info and where is the info coming from ?

There is data sources & scripting options to, but again what when where from

Doesn't even sound to be related to the OP

I have a XML file which fills my text layers. in between are also infos that i want to assosiate with images.
"value1" eg "2"
"value2" eg "1"
ratio value1 - value2: "0" = equal ; "1" = "value1">"value2; "2" "value1"<"value2"

So I want to have a green backgroung for "1", red for "2" and nothing for "0".

I maybe found the solution to display this by using the placeholder c:\image{0}.png . but now all additional imagelayers are aranged at the end in the title editor and not inbetween the text layers as arranged in GT Titler.

There you go, we do this all the time

Yeah seems to be a GT way for the editor, but should it matter once connected to the data source?
if you name the title items the same as the column names of your datasource one can even automate the connection settings in one go

If you want to have "formulas", make a little script that reads the values in a "hidden" textblock, performs the decision and replace images using the functions available for this
