Hello!

I love nodebox! As far as I can tell, it's impossible to get the color of a given shape. I need to import an SVG and manipulate it. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

   A SVG shape doesn't always have a single color.

   It's not impossible though. The trick is to use a lookup node, and specify fill as the lookup key. The output of the SVG node is a group, so you have to ungroup first to split it into paths.

   As shown in the screenshot, you will get a list of colors, one for each path in the SVG file.
