Flowchart colours¶
The appearance of Ruffus flowcharts produced by pipeline_printout_graph can be extensively customised.
This is mainly controlled by the user_colour_scheme (note UK spelling of “colour”) parameter
Example:
Use colour scheme index = 1
pipeline_printout_graph ("flowchart.svg", "svg", [final_task], user_colour_scheme = { "colour_scheme_index" :1, "Pipeline" :{"fontcolor" : '"#FF3232"' }, "Key" :{"fontcolor" : "Red", "fillcolor" : '"#F6F4F4"' }, "Task to run" :{"linecolor" : '"#0044A0"' }, "Final target" :{"fillcolor" : '"#EFA03B"', "fontcolor" : "black", "dashed" : 0 } })
- There are 8 colour schemes by setting "colour_scheme_index":
pipeline_printout_graph ("flowchart.svg", "svg", [final_task], user_colour_scheme = {"colour_scheme_index" :6})
These colours were chosen after much fierce arguments between the authors and friends, and much inspiration from http://kuler.adobe.com/#create/fromacolor. Please feel free to submit any additional sets of colours for our consideration.
