Question about OpenGL, QML, and color representation

Posted · Question about OpenGL, QML, and color representation

In the FEM plugin I'm developing, I've got a disparity between color tones in the OpenGL-rendered object and in the color chart:

For example, the max tension is represented as red (255, 0, 0, 1), both in rendering and inside QML. The 4 lower vertices of the cube have the max tension, so they should have the same red (but they're clearly pinkier).

 

I'm rendering with the simplest shader, default.shader, so there's no special color or lightning effects (diffusion, specularity...)  that I know of. I've just recently started learning about shaders.

 

If we look at similar things that Cura does, there doesn't seem to be a great disparity between colors in rendering and colors in QML legends:

Has the Cura team done something I'm missing?

      Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
