Details

class Gdk.Color(red, green, blue)

A Gdk.Color is used to describe a color, similar to the XColor struct used in the X11 drawing API.

Deprecated since version 3.14: Use Gdk.RGBA

classmethod from_floats(red, green, blue)

Return a new Color object from red/green/blue values from 0.0 to 1.0.

classmethod parse(spec)

Parameters:spec (str) – the string specifying the color Returns:True if the parsing succeeded

color:the Gdk.Color to fill in

Return type:(bool, color: Gdk.Color)

Parses a textual specification of a color and fill in the red, green, and blue fields of a Gdk.Color.

The string can either one of a large set of standard names (taken from the X11 rgb.txt file), or it can be a hexadecimal value in the form “\#rgb” “\#rrggbb”, “\#rrrgggbbb” or “\#rrrrggggbbbb” where “r”, “g” and “b” are hex digits of the red, green, and blue components of the color, respectively. (White in the four forms is “\#fff”, “\#ffffff”, “\#fffffffff” and “\#ffffffffffff”).

Deprecated since version 3.14: Use Gdk.RGBA

copy()

Returns:a copy of self Return type:Gdk.Color

Makes a copy of a Gdk.Color.

The result must be freed using Gdk.Color.free().

Deprecated since version 3.14: Use Gdk.RGBA

equal(colorb)

Parameters:colorb (Gdk.Color) – another Gdk.Color Returns:True if the two colors compare equal Return type:bool

Compares two colors.

Deprecated since version 3.14: Use Gdk.RGBA

free()

Frees a Gdk.Color created with Gdk.Color.copy().

Deprecated since version 3.14: Use Gdk.RGBA

hash()

Returns:The hash function applied to self Return type:int

A hash function suitable for using for a hash table that stores Gdk.Colors.

Deprecated since version 3.14: Use Gdk.RGBA

to_floats()

Return (red_float, green_float, blue_float) triple.

to_string()

Returns:a newly-allocated text string Return type:str

Returns a textual specification of self in the hexadecimal form “\#rrrrggggbbbb” where “r”, “g” and “b” are hex digits representing the red, green and blue components respectively.

The returned string can be parsed by Gdk.Color.parse().

New in version 2.12.

Deprecated since version 3.14: Use Gdk.RGBA
