   2
   3 A palette is a table that maps pixel values to RGB colours. It allows the colours
   4 of a low-depth bitmap, for example, to be mapped to the available colours in a display.

  30 \func{}{wxPalette}{\void}
  31
  32 Default constructor.
  33
  34 \func{}{wxPalette}{\param{const wxPalette\&}{ palette}}
  35
  36 Copy constructor. This uses reference counting so is a cheap operation.

  38 \func{}{wxPalette}{\param{int}{ n}, \param{const unsigned char* }{red},\\
  39  \param{const unsigned char* }{green}, \param{const unsigned char* }{blue}}
  40
  41 Creates a palette from arrays of size {\it n}, one for each
  42 red, blue or green component.
  43
  44 \wxheading{Parameters}
  45
  46 \docparam{palette}{A pointer or reference to the palette to copy.}
  47
  48 \docparam{n}{The number of indices in the palette.}
  49
  50 \docparam{red}{An array of red values.}
  51
  52 \docparam{green}{An array of green values.}
  53
  54 \docparam{blue}{An array of blue values.}

  64
  65 \func{}{\destruct{wxPalette}}{\void}
  66
  67 Destructor.

  70
  71 \func{bool}{Create}{\param{int}{ n}, \param{const unsigned char* }{red},\rtfsp
  72  \param{const unsigned char* }{green}, \param{const unsigned char* }{blue}}
  73
  74 Creates a palette from arrays of size {\it n}, one for each
  75 red, blue or green component.
  76
  77 \wxheading{Parameters}
  78
  79 \docparam{n}{The number of indices in the palette.}
  80
  81 \docparam{red}{An array of red values.}
  82
  83 \docparam{green}{An array of green values.}
  84
  85 \docparam{blue}{An array of blue values.}
  86
  87 \wxheading{Return value}
  88
  89 true if the creation was successful, false otherwise.

  95 \membersection{wxPalette::GetColoursCount}\label{wxpalettegetcolourscount}
  96
  97 \constfunc{int}{GetColoursCount}{\void}
  98
  99 Returns number of entries in palette.

 101 \membersection{wxPalette::GetPixel}\label{wxpalettegetpixel}
 102
 103 \constfunc{int}{GetPixel}{\param{const unsigned char }{red}, \param{const unsigned char }{green},\rtfsp
 104  \param{const unsigned char }{blue}}
 105
 106 Returns a pixel value (index into the palette) for the given RGB values.
 107
 108 \wxheading{Parameters}
 109
 110 \docparam{red}{Red value.}
 111
 112 \docparam{green}{Green value.}
 113

 126 \constfunc{bool}{GetRGB}{\param{int}{ pixel}, \param{const unsigned char* }{red}, \param{const unsigned char* }{green},\rtfsp
 127  \param{const unsigned char* }{blue}}
 128
 129 Returns RGB values for a given palette index.
 130
 131 \wxheading{Parameters}
 132
 133 \docparam{pixel}{The palette index.}
 134
 135 \docparam{red}{Receives the red value.}
 136
 137 \docparam{green}{Receives the green value.}
 138
 139 \docparam{blue}{Receives the blue value.}
 140
 141 \wxheading{Return value}
 142
 143 true if the operation was successful.

 147 \helpref{wxPalette::GetPixel}{wxpalettegetpixel}
 148
 149 \perlnote{In wxPerl this method takes only the {\tt pixel} parameter and
 150   returns a 3-element list ( or the empty list upon failure ).}
 151
 152 \membersection{wxPalette::Ok}\label{wxpaletteok}
 153
 154 \constfunc{bool}{Ok}{\void}
 155
 156 Returns true if palette data is present.
 157
 158 \membersection{wxPalette::operator $=$}\label{wxpaletteassignment}
 159
 160 \func{wxPalette\&}{operator $=$}{\param{const wxPalette\& }{palette}}
 161
 162 Assignment operator, using reference counting. Returns a reference
 163 to `this'.
 164
 165 \membersection{wxPalette::operator $==$}\label{wxpaletteequals}
 166
 167 \func{bool}{operator $==$}{\param{const wxPalette\& }{palette}}
 168
 169 Equality operator. Two palettes are equal if they contain pointers
 170 to the same underlying palette data. It does not compare each attribute,
 171 so two independently-created palettes using the same parameters will
 172 fail the test.
 173
 174 \membersection{wxPalette::operator $!=$}\label{wxpalettenotequals}
 175
 176 \func{bool}{operator $!=$}{\param{const wxPalette\& }{palette}}
 177
 178 Inequality operator. Two palettes are not equal if they contain pointers
 179 to different underlying palette data. It does not compare each attribute.
