How to change Temperature Plot Color Map in Icepak (PyAEDT)?

[Elaine904]

I have created a temperature plot in Icepak using PyAEDT and would like to change the color map from "Rainbow" to "Magenta". I found the ColorMapSettings class online, but I am unsure how to apply these settings to my plot.

The section of my code responsible for generating the temperature plot is as follows:

temp_folder = r"...\06_ANSYS\Temp"

surflist = [i.id for i in icepak.modeler["Heatsink_1"].faces]
surflist += [i.id for i in icepak.modeler["Board"].faces]
surflist += [i.id for i in icepak.modeler["AGP"].faces]
surflist += [i.id for i in icepak.modeler["Bridge"].faces]
surflist += [i.id for i in icepak.modeler["DDR"].faces]
surflist += [i.id for i in icepak.modeler["DDR_1"].faces]
surflist += [i.id for i in icepak.modeler["DDR_2"].faces]
surflist += [i.id for i in icepak.modeler["DDR_3"].faces]
surflist += [i.id for i in icepak.modeler["Large_Flash"].faces]
surflist += [i.id for i in icepak.modeler["Small_Flash"].faces]

plot = icepak.post.create_fieldplot_surface(surflist, "Temperature")

colormap = ColorMapSettings(map_type="Spectrum", color="Magenta")

path = plot.export_image(
full_path=os.path.join(temp_folder, "temperature.png"),
orientation="isometric",
show_region=False,
)
Image(filename=path)

Hi @Elaine904,

this is a simple snippet that should achieve what you're looking for:

fs = plot.folder_settings
fs.color_map_settings.color="Magenta"
fs.update()

The issue now is that in native apis there is a typo. Fix here: #5935.
In the meantime you can change to other colormaps like "Temperature".

Important note: to get folder_settings you need to have your project saved.
