Libreoffice function to insert colour in a cell
Hi,
I have a spreadsheet with a large number of RGB triplets.
I want to write a function that will take 3 numbers and change the colour of the cell to that RGB value.
Is it possible, and if so, where do I look to get started?
Thanks,
Jim

I did this using a LibreOffice Basic script a few years back. Unfortunately I have lost that script, but this is similar to what I did:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...in-libreoffice
replace:
Code:
Doc = ThisComponent
Sheet = Doc.Sheets(1)
Cell = Sheet.getCellByPosition(0, 0)
with
Code:
Doc = ThisComponent
Cell = Doc.getCurrentSelection
Whatever name you give the function, you'll call it as a formula. So, if you call the function ChangeRGB", the formula you would enter is "=CHANGERGB()"
Hope this helps you, or at least gets you a start.

Thanks, but when I try to get help on Basic, the page says it is no longer used, and that the API has to be used now which is a lot more complicated.
