Setting pen colours using scripting

[Matthew P]

I don't know if anyone can help with this. I have been trying to use python scripting to create new classes by importing data from a .cvs file with the class name, lineweight, and pen colour. The script is able to import the name and linewights correctly without any problems. However, when it comes to setting the pen colour it doesn't work and either has  just black and white, or semmingly random colours. And help into what i am missing here would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

import csv
import vs

# Prompt the user to select the CSV file
file_path = vs.GetFile()

# Check if a file was selected
if file_path:
    # Read the CSV file
    with open(file_path, mode='r') as file:
        csv_reader = csv.DictReader(file)
        for row in csv_reader:
            class_name = row['Class Name']
            line_weight_mm = float(row['Line Thickness (mm)'])
            pen_r = int(row['Pen Color (R)'])
            pen_g = int(row['Pen Color (G)'])
            pen_b = int(row['Pen Color (B)'])

            # Convert line weight to mils
            line_weight_mils = round(line_weight_mm / 0.0254)

            # Create class and set attributes
            vs.NameClass(class_name)
            vs.SetClUseGraphic(class_name, True)
            vs.SetClLW(class_name, int(line_weight_mils))  # Set line weight
            vs.SetClPenFore(class_name, pen_r, pen_g, pen_b)
            vs.SetClPenBack(class_name, pen_r, pen_g, pen_b)
            vs.SetClFPat(class_name, 0)

    vs.AlrtDialog('Classes created successfully with correct line weights from the selected CSV file!')
else:
    vs.AlrtDialog('No file was selected. Operation canceled.')

Hello,

 

The RGB values have to be 16 bit. This means they have to be between 0 and something like 65000. For exact values you can look inside some Marionette node.
