12 Flags for wxColour -> wxString conversion (see wxColour::GetAsString).
16 #define wxC2S_NAME 1 //!< Return colour name, when possible.
17 #define wxC2S_CSS_SYNTAX 2 //!< Return colour in "rgb(r,g,b)" syntax.
18 #define wxC2S_HTML_SYNTAX 4 //!< Return colour in "#rrggbb" syntax.
26 A colour is an object representing a combination of Red, Green, and Blue
27 (RGB) intensity values, and is used to determine drawing colours. See the
28 entry for wxColourDatabase for how a pointer to a predefined, named colour
29 may be returned instead of creating a new colour.
31 Valid RGB values are in the range 0 to 255.
33 You can retrieve the current system colour settings with wxSystemSettings.
39 - ::wxNullColour - An empty, invalid colour.
40 - ::wxTransparentColour - Valid but fully transparent colour (new in 2.9.1).
50 @see wxColourDatabase, wxPen, wxBrush, wxColourDialog, wxSystemSettings
52 class wxColour
: public wxObject
69 The alpha value. Alpha values range from 0 (wxALPHA_TRANSPARENT) to
72 wxColour(unsigned char red
, unsigned char green
, unsigned char blue
,
73 unsigned char alpha
= wxALPHA_OPAQUE
);
79 wxColour(const wxString
& colourName
);
84 wxColour(const wxColour
& colour
);
87 Returns the alpha value, on platforms where alpha is not yet supported, this
88 always returns wxALPHA_OPAQUE.
90 virtual unsigned char Alpha() const;
93 Returns the blue intensity.
95 virtual unsigned char Blue() const;
98 Converts this colour to a wxString using the given flags.
100 The supported flags are @c wxC2S_NAME, to obtain the colour name
101 (e.g. wxColour(255,0,0) == "red"), @c wxC2S_CSS_SYNTAX, to obtain
102 the colour in the "rgb(r,g,b)" or "rgba(r,g,b,a)" syntax
103 (e.g. wxColour(255,0,0,85) == "rgba(255,0,0,0.333)"), and
104 @c wxC2S_HTML_SYNTAX, to obtain the colour as "#" followed by 6
105 hexadecimal digits (e.g. wxColour(255,0,0) == "#FF0000").
107 This function never fails and always returns a non-empty string but
108 asserts if the colour has alpha channel (i.e. is non opaque) but
109 @c wxC2S_CSS_SYNTAX (which is the only one supporting alpha) is not
114 virtual wxString
GetAsString(long flags
= wxC2S_NAME
| wxC2S_CSS_SYNTAX
) const;
118 Sets the RGB or RGBA colour values from a single 32 bit value.
120 The arguments @a colRGB and @a colRGBA should be of the form 0x00BBGGRR
121 and 0xAABBGGRR respectively where @c 0xRR, @c 0xGG, @c 0xBB and @c 0xAA
122 are the values of the red, blue, green and alpha components.
124 Notice the right-to-left order of components!
126 @see GetRGB(), GetRGBA()
130 void SetRGB(wxUint32 colRGB
);
131 void SetRGBA(wxUint32 colRGBA
);
136 Gets the RGB or RGBA colour values as a single 32 bit value.
138 The returned value is of the same form as expected by SetRGB() and
141 Notice that GetRGB() returns the value with 0 as its highest byte
142 independently of the value actually returned by Alpha(). So for a fully
143 opaque colour, the return value of GetRGBA() is @c 0xFFBBGGRR while
144 that of GetRGB() is @c 0x00BBGGRR.
148 wxUint32
GetRGB() const;
149 wxUint32
GetRGBA() const;
153 Returns a pixel value which is platform-dependent.
154 On Windows, a COLORREF is returned.
155 On X, an allocated pixel value is returned.
156 If the pixel is invalid (on X, unallocated), @c -1 is returned.
158 int GetPixel() const;
161 Returns the green intensity.
163 virtual unsigned char Green() const;
166 Returns @true if the colour object is valid (the colour has been initialised
169 virtual bool IsOk() const;
172 Returns the red intensity.
174 virtual unsigned char Red() const;
178 Sets the RGB intensity values using the given values (first overload),
179 extracting them from the packed long (second overload), using the given
180 string (third overloard).
182 When using third form, Set() accepts: colour names (those listed in
183 wxColourDatabase), the CSS-like @c "rgb(r,g,b)" or @c "rgba(r,g,b,a)" syntax
184 (case insensitive) and the HTML-like syntax: @c "#" followed by 6 hexadecimal
185 digits for red, green, blue components.
187 Returns @true if the conversion was successful, @false otherwise.
191 void Set(unsigned char red
, unsigned char green
,
193 unsigned char alpha
= wxALPHA_OPAQUE
);
194 void Set(unsigned long RGB
);
195 bool Set(const wxString
& str
);
199 Tests the inequality of two colours by comparing individual red, green, blue
200 colours and alpha values.
202 bool operator !=(const wxColour
& colour
) const;
205 Assignment operator, using a colour name to be found in the colour database.
207 @see wxColourDatabase
209 wxColour
& operator=(const wxColour
& colour
);
212 Tests the equality of two colours by comparing individual red, green, blue
213 colours and alpha values.
215 bool operator ==(const wxColour
& colour
) const;
218 Assign 0 or 255 to rgb out parameters.

224 Create a disabled (dimmed) colour from (in/out) rgb parameters.
227 static void MakeDisabled(unsigned char* r
, unsigned char* g
, unsigned char* b

= 255);
230 Create a grey colour from (in/out) rgb parameters using integer arithmetic.
233 static void MakeGrey(unsigned char* r
, unsigned char* g
, unsigned char* b
);
236 Create a grey colour from (in/out) rgb parameters using floating point arithmetic.
237 Defaults to using the standard ITU-T BT.601 when converting to YUV, where every pixel equals
238 (R * @a weight_r) + (G * @a weight_g) + (B * @a weight_b).
241 static void MakeGrey(unsigned char* r
, unsigned char* g
, unsigned char* b

, double weight_b

245 Blend colour, taking alpha into account.
248 static unsigned char AlphaBlend(unsigned char fg
, unsigned char bg
, double alpha
);
251 ChangeLightness() is a utility function that simply darkens
252 or lightens a color, based on the specified percentage
253 ialpha of 0 would be completely black, 200 completely white
254 an ialpha of 100 returns the same colour
257 static void ChangeLightness(unsigned char* r
, unsigned char* g
