\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.

\membersection{wxColour::Blue}\label{wxcolourblue}

\constfunc{unsigned char}{Blue}{\void}

Returns the blue intensity.

\membersection{wxColour::GetPixel}\label{wxcolourgetpixel}

\constfunc{long}{GetPixel}{\void}

Returns a pixel value which is platform-dependent. On Windows, a COLORREF is returned.
On X, an allocated pixel value is returned.

-1 is returned if the pixel is invalid (on X, unallocated).

\membersection{wxColour::Green}\label{wxcolourgreen}

\constfunc{unsigned char}{Green}{\void}

Returns the green intensity.

\membersection{wxColour::Ok}\label{wxcolourok}

\constfunc{bool}{Ok}{\void}

Returns true if the colour object is valid (the colour has been initialised with RGB values).

\membersection{wxColour::Red}\label{wxcolourred}

\constfunc{unsigned char}{Red}{\void}

Returns the red intensity.

\membersection{wxColour::Set}\label{wxcolourset}

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

\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{wxcolourdataconstr}

\func{}{wxColourData}{\void}

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

\membersection{wxColourData::\destruct{wxColourData}}

\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. 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 all white.

\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 all white.

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

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

Assignment operator for the colour data.

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

wxWindows 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 {\it Append}.  There
is only one instance of this class: {\bf wxTheColourDatabase}.
