# Gdk::Color Class Reference

List of all members.

## Detailed Description

Gdk::Color is used to describe an allocated or unallocated color.

It contains the following data: pixel: For allocated colors, the value used to draw this color on the screen. red: The red component of the color. This is a value between 0 and 65535, with 65535 indicating full intensitiy. green: The green component of the color. blue: The blue component of the color.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Gdk::Color::Color | ( | GdkColor * | gobject,
|  | bool | make_a_copy = `true` |
| ) |  |  | `[explicit]`

Gdk::Color::Color | ( | const Color& | other | ) |

Gdk::Color::~Color | ( |  | ) |

Gdk::Color::Color | ( |  | ) |

Instantiate a new Gdk::Color.

You should then use the set methods and call Gdk::Colormap::alloc_color().

Gdk::Color::Color | ( | const Glib::ustring & | value | ) | `[explicit]`

Instantiate a new Gdk::Color.

The color is not allocated - you must call Gdk::Colormap::alloc_color() yourself. The text string can be in any of the forms accepted by XParseColor; these include names for a color from rgb.txt, such as DarkSlateGray, or a hex specification such as 305050.

Parameters:

  | value | the string specifying the color..

## Member Function Documentation

gushort Gdk::Color::get_blue | ( |  | ) | const

Get the blue component of the color.

Returns:
  The blue component of the color.

double Gdk::Color::get_blue_p | ( |  | ) | const

Get the blue component of the color, as a percentage.

Returns:
  The blue component of the color, as a percentage.

gushort Gdk::Color::get_green | ( |  | ) | const

Get the green component of the color.

Returns:
  The green component of the color.

double Gdk::Color::get_green_p | ( |  | ) | const

Get the green component of the color, as a percentage.

Returns:
  The green component of the color, as a percentage.

guint Gdk::Color::get_pixel | ( |  | ) | const

Get the pixel value, for allocated colors.

Returns:
  For allocated colors, the value used to draw this color on the screen.

gushort Gdk::Color::get_red | ( |  | ) | const

Get the red component of the color.

Returns:
  The red component of the color.

double Gdk::Color::get_red_p | ( |  | ) | const

Get the red component of the color, as a percentage.

Returns:
  The red component of the color, as a percentage.

const GdkColor* Gdk::Color::gobj | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

References gobject_.

GdkColor* Gdk::Color::gobj | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

References gobject_.

GdkColor* Gdk::Color::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) | const

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for freeing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

Color& Gdk::Color::operator= | ( | const Color& | other | ) |

bool Gdk::Color::parse | ( | const Glib::ustring & | spec | ) |

Deprecated:
  See set().

void Gdk::Color::rgb_find_color | ( | const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Colormap>& | map | ) |

This will fill in the pixel field with the best matching pixel from a color cube.

The color is then ready to be used for drawing, e.g. you can call Gdk::GC::set_foreground() which expects pixel to be initialized. Call this after setting the red, green, and blue fields.

In many cases, you can avoid this whole issue by calling Gdk::GC::set_rgb_fg_color() or Gdk::GC::set_rgb_bg_color(), which do not expect pixels to be initialized in advance. If you use those methods, there's no need for this method().

Parameters:

  | map | The colormap for the graphics context and drawable you're using to draw. If you're drawing to a Gtk::Widget, call Gtk::Widget::get_colormap().

bool Gdk::Color::set | ( | const Glib::ustring & | value | ) |

Parses a textual specification of a color and fills in the red, green, and blue values.

The color is not allocated - you must call Gdk::Colormap::alloc_color() yourself. The text string can be in any of the forms accepted by XParseColor; these include names for a color from rgb.txt, such as DarkSlateGray, or a hex specification such as 305050.

Parameters:

  | value | the string specifying the color.

Returns:
  true if the parsing succeeded.

void Gdk::Color::set_blue | ( | gushort | value | ) |

|  | double | green_,
|  | double | blue_ |
| ) |  |  |
