Borderline color?

Hello all!!

I'm trying to create a toogle with different svg file for each state, its working but I do not get to assign color parameter... any idea??

Thnxs in advance

`
var play = new MGraphicsSVG("Play.svg");
var mute = new MGraphicsSVG("Mute.svg");

function paint()
{
    var val = box.getvalueof()[0]; // this is an array of size 1
    var viewsize = mgraphics.size;
    var valrange = box.getattr("size");
    var state = box.getattr("state");
    var width = viewsize[0];
    var height = viewsize[1];
    var start;

    mgraphics.set_source_rgba(box.getattr("bgcolor"));
    replacementcolor = mgraphics.set_source_rgba(box.getattr("color"));
    mgraphics.rectangle(0, 0, width, height);
    mgraphics.fill();

        if (val) {
        mgraphics.save();

        // set up our svg object's color remapper
        origcolor = [0,0,0,1];
        replacementcolor = val ? box.getattr("color") : box.getattr("elementcolor");
        play.mapreset();
        play.mapcolor(origcolor,replacementcolor);    

        // provide a rectangle for translate/scale to fit
        mgraphics.svg_render(play, 0.2*width, 0.2*height, 0.6*width, 0.6*height);
        mgraphics.restore();

    } else {

        mgraphics.save();

        // set up our svg object's color remapper
        origcolor = [0,0,0,1];
        replacementcolor = val ? box.getattr("color") : box.getattr("elementcolor");
        mute.mapreset();
        mute.mapcolor(origcolor,replacementcolor);    

        // provide a rectangle for translate/scale to fit
        mgraphics.svg_render(mute, 0.2*width, 0.2*height, 0.6*width, 0.6*height);
        mgraphics.restore();

}

}

Found a workaround for the line color: now I'm using a multislider over the waveform.

Just finding this thread now.

Chiming in her to I agree **wholeheartedly** with ULLSTEIN and BKSHEPARD.
Since postponed the migration to Max 7 for hundreds of legacy patches until I would finally have time to go through them all.

The barrier to my migration has only been the look and feel, lack of borders, big changes in the GUI objects.
I also teach in Max 7, but had to continue using Max 6 until now. It is not good that it has created problems for dealing with legacy patches

Are there any recent undocumented changes that will help with this (borders as an option ??)
I'm on a residency this week to update code, any help that is not already in documentation would be great.
(and checking out the examples here too with jspaint)

Probably it will not be too long until Max 8. Just like you I stopped using Max 7 because of this.

My 2 cents: I'm using Max 7 only for his capabilyties to handle multi channels buffer objects and for the better playlist for sfplay~.
The main great problems are the removed object color choices (frame color of the numbers and umenu object for example, or see the line in the waveform) and for the bug dimensions of a simple standalone (300 Mb vs 30Mb of a old one). I've also tryed to tweak the new standalone app removing some components, but the app after that doesn't work anymore.. also insert an appicon is a nightmare. There's a lack of informations about all that. Hope Cycling will do it better

it's a bit sad there's still no exensive documentation on jspainter files after 2 years

We are all just waiting.

Still waiting... (today: 19 jul 2019)

i the borders haz. for patient beeing me.

You can find a nice collection of Max UI object with borders (which you can use as examples) in William Kleinsasser's amazing recent collection of patches and utilities. Download the "supporting materials" patches and look in the folder "Migrating old max patches to version 7 and 8 formatting."
