\section{\class{wxColour}}\label{wxcolour}

A colour is an object representing a combination of Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) intensity values,
and is used to determine drawing colours. See the
entry for \helpref{wxColourDatabase}{wxcolourdatabase} for how a pointer to a predefined,
named colour may be returned instead of creating a new colour.

Valid RGB values are in the range 0 to 255.

You can retrieve the current system colour settings with \helpref{wxSystemSettings}{wxsystemsettings}.

\func{void}{Set}{\param{unsigned char}{ red}, \param{unsigned char}{ green}, \param{unsigned char}{ blue}}

Sets the RGB intensity values.


\membersection{wxColour::operator $=$}\label{wxcolourassign}

\func{wxColour\&}{operator $=$}{\param{const wxColour\&}{ colour}}

Assignment operator, taking another colour object.

\func{wxColour\&}{operator $=$}{\param{const wxString\&}{ colourName}}

Assignment operator, using a colour name to be found in the colour database.

\helpref{wxColourDatabase}{wxcolourdatabase}


\membersection{wxColour::operator $==$}\label{wxcolourequality}

\func{bool}{operator $==$}{\param{const wxColour\&}{ colour}}

Tests the equality of two colours by comparing individual red, green blue colours.


\membersection{wxColour::operator $!=$}\label{wxcolourinequality}

\func{bool}{operator $!=$}{\param{const wxColour\&}{ colour}}

Tests the inequality of two colours by comparing individual red, green blue colours.

\membersection{wxColourData::wxColourData}\label{wxcolourdatactor}

\func{}{wxColourData}{\void}

Constructor. Initializes the custom colours to {\tt wxNullColour},
the {\it data colour} setting
to black, and the {\it choose full} setting to true.


\membersection{wxColourData::\destruct{wxColourData}}\label{wxcolourdatadtor}

\func{}{\destruct{wxColourData}}{\void}

Destructor.


\membersection{wxColourData::GetChooseFull}\label{wxcolourdatagetchoosefull}

\constfunc{bool}{GetChooseFull}{\void}

Under Windows, determines whether the Windows colour dialog will display the full dialog
with custom colour selection controls. Under PalmOS, determines whether colour dialog
will display full rgb colour picker or only available palette indexer.
Has no meaning under other platforms.

The default value is true.


\membersection{wxColourData::GetColour}\label{wxcolourdatagetcolour}

\constfunc{wxColour\&}{GetColour}{\void}

Gets the current colour associated with the colour dialog.

The default colour is black.


\membersection{wxColourData::GetCustomColour}\label{wxcolourdatagetcustomcolour}

\constfunc{wxColour\&}{GetCustomColour}{\param{int}{ i}}

Gets the {\it i}th custom colour associated with the colour dialog. {\it i} should
be an integer between 0 and 15.

The default custom colours are invalid colours.


\membersection{wxColourData::SetChooseFull}\label{wxcolourdatasetchoosefull}

\func{void}{SetChooseFull}{\param{const bool }{flag}}

Under Windows, tells the Windows colour dialog to display the full dialog
with custom colour selection controls. Under other platforms, has no effect.

The default value is true.


\membersection{wxColourData::SetColour}\label{wxcolourdatasetcolour}

\func{void}{SetColour}{\param{const wxColour\&}{ colour}}

Sets the default colour for the colour dialog.

The default colour is black.


\membersection{wxColourData::SetCustomColour}\label{wxcolourdatasetcustomcolour}

\func{void}{SetCustomColour}{\param{int}{ i}, \param{const wxColour\&}{ colour}}

Sets the {\it i}th custom colour for the colour dialog. {\it i} should
be an integer between 0 and 15.

The default custom colours are invalid colours.


\membersection{wxColourData::operator $=$}\label{wxcolourdataassign}

\func{void}{operator $=$}{\param{const wxColourData\&}{ data}}

Assignment operator for the colour data.




\section{\class{wxColourDatabase}}\label{wxcolourdatabase}

wxWidgets maintains a database of standard RGB colours for a predefined
set of named colours (such as ``BLACK'', ``LIGHT GREY''). The
application may add to this set if desired by using
\helpref{AddColour}{wxcolourdatabaseaddcolour} and may use it to look up
colours by names using \helpref{Find}{wxcolourdatabasefind} or find the names
for the standard colour suing \helpref{FindName}{wxcolourdatabasefindname}.

There is one predefined instance of this class called
{\bf wxTheColourDatabase}.

\wxheading{Derived from}

None

\wxheading{Include files}

<wx/gdicmn.h>

\wxheading{Remarks}

The standard database contains at least the following colours:

AQUAMARINE, BLACK, BLUE, BLUE VIOLET, BROWN, CADET BLUE, CORAL,
CORNFLOWER BLUE, CYAN, DARK GREY, DARK GREEN, DARK OLIVE GREEN, DARK
ORCHID, DARK SLATE BLUE, DARK SLATE GREY DARK TURQUOISE, DIM GREY,

\membersection{wxColourDatabase::wxColourDatabase}\label{wxcolourdatabaseconstr}

\func{}{wxColourDatabase}{\void}

Constructs the colour database. It will be initialized at the first use.


\membersection{wxColourDatabase::AddColour}\label{wxcolourdatabaseaddcolour}

\func{void}{AddColour}{\param{const wxString\& }{colourName}, \param{wxColour* }{colour}}

it is replaced.

Please note that the overload taking a pointer is deprecated and will be
removed in the next wxWidgets version, please don't use it.


\membersection{wxColourDatabase::Find}\label{wxcolourdatabasefind}

\func{wxColour}{Find}{\param{const wxString\& }{colourName}}

Finds a colour given the name. Returns an invalid colour object (that is, such

found in the database.


\membersection{wxColourDatabase::FindName}\label{wxcolourdatabasefindname}

\constfunc{wxString}{FindName}{\param{const wxColour\&}{ colour}}
