Colour of the stimuli

edited April 2017 in Expyriment

I am implementing Stroop task. Therefore I need to consider a special color for the stimuli ( only for choice 1). Therefore, I have the excel file as follow:

    choice1  choice2  choice 3   color_choice1
             Red         Blue         Red             BLUE
             Green      blue         Red             RED
               .                 .              .                   .

I have the part of code as below:

           t = expyriment.design.Trial()
            stim1 = expyriment.stimuli.TextLine(text=trial[0], position=(0,200), text_size=32, text_colour=trial[3])
            stim2 = expyriment.stimuli.TextLine(text=trial[1], position=(-230,-230), text_size=32)
            stim3 = expyriment.stimuli.TextLine(text=trial[2], position=(230,-230), text_size=32)  
            canvas = expyriment.stimuli.Canvas(size=(600, 600))

I expected as trial[3]="BLUE", it prints stim1 as Red with blue color. But it does not work. Do you have any comment please, how to fix it?

    Hi Juliette,

    the colour needs to be specified in RGB terms (e.g. [255, 0, 0] for red). To simplify this, we provide constants for common colours in expyriment.misc.constants (e.g. expyriment.misc.constants.C_RED for red).
    So in your particular case, something like this might work:

    from expyriment.misc import constants
stim1 = expyriment.stimuli.TextLine(text=trial[0], position=(0,200), text_size=32, text_colour=eval("constants.C_{0}".format(trial[3].upper())))
