Trail Chop Background Grid Remove

General TouchDesigner Discussion

Hi Does anyone know if its possible to remove the background grid from a trail top and modify how it looks a bit.
I want to display the trail chop using an opview as part of a piece and would like to take the background gid out of it. and also change the colour of the red yellow and green first three trail channels. anyone know if this is doable.
Nice one.

There are some options in RMB menu of the trail viewer, but I doubt it will get you as far as you wand. Probably easier to just use a limit SOP on the trail and render it

You can make all graphs white in Edit → Preferences → CHOPs. Set the Hue Steps to 0 to make them all the same color. Aside from the options on the RMB menu on the graph viewer…

Send the trail channels to the CHOP to SOP, setting its axes off using its viewer’s RMB menu → Display Options.

For more control, send the CHOP to SOP to the sopRender component in the palette, setting its Normalize parameter to 0.

You can run the following python commands. It will change all your chop viewers, so you may want to turn it on/off for perform mode.

ui.colors["graph.grid.axes"]=(0,0,0) ui.colors["graph.grid.axes.main"]=(0,0,0) ui.colors["graph.grid.label"]=(0,0,0)

We don’t have a python equivalent for reverting to default colours yet, but in Tscript you can do this:

uicolors -d

and the tscript equivalent to change the colours would be:

uicolors -c graph.grid.axes 0 0 0 uicolors -c graph.grid.axes.main 0 0 0 uicolors -c graph.grid.label 0 0 0
