How to automatically colour a given block in Simulink? - layout

I would like to colour all occurrences of a specific block in Simulink. For instance, I want all Scopes to be yellow. How can I achieve this.
Is there a way to select all specific blocks at once?
When entering a new specific block, is there a way to automatically set its colour?

I recommend to create a library and have the blocks with the colours already set in it.
Alternatively you can use find_all to identify all blocks and set_param(blockname,'BackgroundColor','green') to change the coluor.

How to color specific vtkCells?

I have a 3D model loaded into a vtkActor and I need to be able to color specific vtkCells of this actor after selecting (clicking on those vtkCells). I know how to retrieve the selected cells from the vtkUnstructuredGrid but have no idea of how to set color to them. I've read a bit about vtkLookUpTables and think that might be it but I don't understand how it works, or if it really is what I need.
Thanks.
You can use vtkExtractCells to fetch all special cells and form a vtkDataObject, then create vtkDataSetMapper and vtkActor objects to color and shot it.

Is there a way to create a widget with configuration wrap and select_range method?

I have a problem. In Tkinter there are two widgets: Text and Entry. The Text widget has a configuration wrap='word'. And the Entry widget has a method select_range. I need both the wrap configuration and the select_range method in order to select certain parts of a massive text (by select I mean like with the mouse).
There is no direct way to combine the features of two different widgets, but there's really no need to do that. All you're asking for is the ability to select a range of text, and the text widget supports that.
The method to select a range of characters is documented. All you need to do is add the tag "sel" to a range of characters.

Auto Grouping/Merging in Excel

I think the image attached describes better than I can in words the functionality I am trying to locate within excel.
Is there a way to auto group based on the contents within the columns as shown? This is achievable for the example shown, but when there are up to say 30 Groups and many sub group types, I am wondering whether excel can auto-detect and work its way through the list, grouping as shown as it goes.
You can get a similar result using conditional formatting. select the whole table and create a new conditional format rule and choose formula and enter =A1=A2 set the format font to white (I've used very light grey to show that the data is still there)
To get the borders, do the same again and this time enter the formula =A1<>A2 and make the top border black.
It's not exactly the same as yours but it's close.

Custom attributes/properties for cells in excel?

I'm interested in making an Excel cell formatting macro that allows me to scroll through different options (different font/cell colors, different border types, etc.). I know that I could accomplish this by checking conditions -- if I'm changing font colors, then I can just "scroll" by using conditional logic (if color1, then change to color2; if color2, then change to color 3; etc.). I was wondering if there might be a more elegant way to accomplish this -- specifically, is there a way to store custom attributes for cells in VBA?
For example, if I set cell B3 to a certain border style (thin line for top,left,right but double line for bottom), is there a way to create and set a VBA attribute of Cell.CustomBorderStyle = 1? Otherwise, I believe I would have to build logic into my macro for the precise formatting (if top,left,right = thin and bottom = double then change to second style, etc.). I'm not sure if creating a custom class in VBA would allow me to do this, or if there's any way at all to do this.
Please let me know if my question is unclear -- thanks!
if you only want the cell attribute to be available within this VBA session then I would use a collection or dictionary with a key of the cell address (Sheet_Row_Column) to store the attribute(s).
If you want to persist this information within an Excel workbook then it would probably be best done using custom xml.
