Setting default Path pen color and strokewidth

Greetings,

Is there a way to set the default Path color and strokewidth through the ToolbarSetting.ToolbarItems collection when SfImageEditor is instantiated.

          SfImageEditor sfimageeditor = new SfImageEditor();
          //possible to set default Shape properties, maybe through sfimageeditor.ToolbarSettings.ToolbarItems[]?

For now the only way found is to call this after loading:

          sfimageeditor.AddShape(ShapeType.Path, new PenSettings { Color = Color.Black, StrokeWidth = 1 });

Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andrew, 

Greetings from Syncfusion, 

We have validated your query and your requirement can be achieved by setting the ImageEditor’s Color palette by initializing the 0th index of the palette with your required color so that it will be the default color while ImageEditor is loaded. 

Please refer the below Knowledge base article to learn more on this. 


Thanks, 
Michael

Hi Michael,

This is what I'm looking for. I still can't figure out how to initialize the ImageEditor's ColorPallet to the 0th index, I don't see this in any of the samples.

Thanks.

Please see my last post... how is the ImageEditor's ColorPallet initialized to the 0th index?

Hi Andrew,  
  
We have prepared sample based on your requirement by adding the color in 0th index in color palette. Please download the sample from the below link, 
  
  
Code Snippet: 
  
imageeditor.ColorPalette[0] = Color.HotPink;

Michael

Hi Michael,

The snippet below does not achieve what is needed.
imageeditor.ColorPalette[0] = Color.HotPink; 
This sets the first colour in the colour the pallet to HotPink, the default drawing colour remains red (ColorPallet index #2).

What is needed is to set the initial Path values of the Pen colour and Strokewidth. i.e When the menu Pen icon is clicked, without modifying values through the menu, the first drawn path is Black with a Strokewidth of 1.

Can this be achieved?

Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andrew,   
  
We have achieved your requirement using ToolbarItemSelected event in ToolbarSettings. Tapped item name can be taken from the event args and using the item name, first color can be given in the pen settings. Based on your requirement, we have prepared sample and the same can be download from the below link, 
  
Code Snippet: 
  
private void ToolbarSettings_ToolbarItemSelected(object sender, ToolbarItemSelectedEventArgs e) 
        {                    
            var colors = e.ToolbarItem.Name; 
            if (colors.Equals("Colors")) 
            { 
                PenSettings settings = new PenSettings() { Color = firstColor, StrokeWidth = 10 }; 
                imageeditor.AddShape(ShapeType.Path, settings); 
            }           
        }

Bharathiraja.

Greetings, 
 
Unfortunately this does not achieve what is needed, the code snippet added appears to have no effect at all. Running the sample from the link below (in UWP) the pen still draws using the menu default colour (red) and brushstroke. 
 
Still looking for a way to setting the default or start values for the menu items? 
 
Thanks, 
Andy

Hi Andrew, 
 
Thanks for your update. 
 
We have achieved your requirement as a workaround solution in sample, such that we have added the shape and changed the pen settings values when tapping the Path menu icon. Using this, you can change the path default drawing color without modifying the color palette values. We have modified the sample. Please find the sample from the following location. 
 
 
We have considered this as feature request and this feature will be available in our Volume 1,2019 release. You can now track the status of your request, review the proposed resolution timeline, and contact us for any further inquiries through this link. We appreciate your patience until then. 
 
 
Thanks, 
Bharathiraja.

Hi Bharathiraja,

Thank you for the feedback.

Unfortunately the solution provided will not suit the intended use. A customised solution will be implemented until this is available as a feature.

In UWP modifying the StrokeWidth value in the PenSetting (as below) appears to have no affect. Is there any way to set the StrokeWidth?

          PenSettings settings = new PenSettings() { Color = firstColor, StrokeWidth = 10}; 
            imageeditor.AddShape(ShapeType.Path, settings); 

Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andrew, 
 
Thanks for the update. 
 
We can able to reproduce the issue in our end and confirmed this is an issue. In UWP, the path stroke width value always takes as default value so that the provided value not updated. At Syncfusion, we are committed to fixing all validated defects (subject to technological feasibility and Product Development Life Cycle) and including the defect fix in our subsequent weekly NuGet release which is scheduled on every Tuesday of the week and you can expect this fix on 29th January 2019 weekly NuGet release. If you wish to receive this fix in a specific prior release product version please revert back to us(backwards compatibility subject to technological feasibility and our Support SLA) You can now track the current status of your request, review the proposed resolution timeline,  and contact us for any further inquiries through this link. We appreciate your patience until then. 
 
 
As we promised earlier, we will provide the feature in our upcoming Volume 1,2019 release. 
 
Thanks, 
Bharathiraja.
