Hello.
The Scribus help section provides the following definition:
QuotecreateCustomLineStyle(...)
createCustomLineStyle(styleName, style)
Creates the custom line style 'styleName'.
This function takes a list of dictionaries as a parameter for "style".
Each dictionary represents one subline within the style.
Dictionary can have those keys: [...]
1. What does "list of dictionaries" mean?Is this the correct usage?
scribus.defineColorRGB("red_r", 254, 10, 10)
line_style = [
{"Color": "red_r"},
{"Dash": 1},
{"LineEnd": 1},
{"LineJoin": 0},
{"Shade": 100},
{"Width": 20.0}
]
scribus.createCustomLineStyle("aCustomStyle", line_style)Or this?
scribus.defineColorRGB("red_r", 254, 10, 10)
line_style = [
{"Color": "red_r",
"Dash": 1,
"LineEnd": 1,
"LineJoin": 0,
"Shade": 100,
"Width": 20.0
}
]
scribus.createCustomLineStyle("aCustomStyle", line_style)2. How do you use the style created this way?The
scribus.setLineStyle() function accepts a number to indicate the style to assign to a line, not the string passed to
createCustomLineStyle.
A short working example would make me happy. Thank you.
For creating the style, I would say it's the second snippet.
Concerning applying the style, the function you mention seems to be about applying the pattern, not a named style.
I guess that <kbd>setCustomLineStyle()</kdb> is what you are looking for... That would also match the API function you're using for creating the style : - )
