Gdk::Colormap Class Reference

Detailed Description
A Colormap is an object that contains the mapping between the color values stored in memory and the RGB values that are used to display color values.In general, colormaps only contain significant information for pseudo-color visuals, but even for other visual types, a colormap object is required in some circumstances.
There are a couple of special colormaps that can be retrieved. The system colormap (retrieved with get_system()) is the default colormap of the system. If you are using GdkRGB, there is another colormap that is important - the colormap in which GdkRGB works, retrieved with Gdk::rgb_get_colormap(). However, when using GdkRGB, it is not generally necessary to allocate colors directly.

bool Gdk::Colormap::alloc_color | ( | Color& | color, | |
bool | writeable = false , |
|||
bool | best_match = true | |||
) |
Allocates a single color from a colormap.
- Parameters:
-
color The color to allocate. On return the <structfield>pixel</structfield> field will be filled in if allocation succeeds. writeable If true
, the color is allocated writeable (their values can later be changed using gdk_color_change()). Writeable colors cannot be shared between applications.best_match If true
, GDK will attempt to do matching against existing colors if the color cannot be allocated as requested.
- Returns:
true
if the allocation succeeded.

void Gdk::Colormap::query_color | ( | gulong | pixel, | |
Color& | result | |||
) |
Locates the RGB color in colormap corresponding to the given hardware pixel pixel.
pixel must be a valid pixel in the colormap; it's a programmer error to call this function with a pixel which is not in the colormap. Hardware pixels are normally obtained from alloc_colors(), or from a Gdk::Image. (A Gdk::Image contains image data in hardware format, a Gdk::Pixbuf contains image data in a canonical 24-bit RGB format.)
This function is rarely useful; it's used for example to implement the eyedropper feature in Gtk::ColorSelection.
- Parameters:
-
pixel Pixel value in hardware display format. result Gdk::Color with red, green, blue fields initialized.
Friends And Related Function Documentation
Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Colormap> wrap | ( | GdkColormap * | object, | |
bool | take_copy = false | |||
) | [related] |
A Glib::wrap() method for this object.
- Parameters:
-
object The C instance. take_copy False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.
- Returns:
- A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
