simGetShapeColor / sim.getShapeColor

Description Retrieves the color of a shape. See also other rendering related functions.
C/C++
synopsis
simInt simGetShapeColor(simInt shapeHandle,const simChar* colorName,simInt colorComponent,simFloat* rgbData)
C/C++
parameters
shapeHandle: handle of the shape
colorName: name of a color. If a name is provided, a specific color component will be retrieved (e.g. if a shape is a compound shape. Can be nullptr. If colorName is @compound, then rgb data for every component of a compound shape will be returned (in that case make sure to have enough space in rgbData, e.g. via simGetObjectInt32Param(shapeHandle,sim.shapeintparam_component_cnt))
colorComponent: a color component.
rgbData (output): red, green and blue components of the color (3 values), or the transparency value (1 value)
C/C++
return value
-1 if operation was not successful. 0 if the color name was not found in the shape. Otherwise, the operation was successful
