[OpenRAVE-users] Changing color of robot parts

[Dennis K. <3k...@in...>]

Hi everybody! 

Has anyone ever tried to change the color of a link in a robot? I tried to manipulate the GeometryProperties object of a single link of the robot used in my simulations! It features get and set functions for the diffuse and ambient color as well as for the transparency. I tried first to get, then set and finally get again! In this way I found the values changed according to my adjustments but the visualization does not show the desired effects! It looks like a repaint is missing after the changes are made! In the next simulation steps the robot's link has the values from default (specified in the xml file) again! 

Maybe somebody knows a solution.

Best,
