Colors ( color )

Definition

The data type color is the type of all colors available for drawing operations in windows (cf. Windows). Each color is defined by a triple of integers (r, g, b) with 0 < = r, g, b < = 255, the so-called rgb-value of the color. The number of available colors is restricted and depends on the underlying hardware. Colors can be created from rgb-values, from names in a color data base (X11), or from the 16 integer constants (enumeration in < LEDA/incl/impl/x_window.htex2html_wrap_inline> ) black, white, red, green, blue, yellow, violet, orange; cyan, brown, pink, green2, blue2, grey1, grey2, grey3.

Creation

color col creates a color with rgb-value (0, 0, 0) (i.e. black).

color col(int r, int g, int b) creates a color with rgb-value (r, g, b).

color col(const char* name) creates a color and initializes it with the rgb-value of color name from the X11 color data base ((0, 0, 0) if name does not exist).

color col(int i) creates a color and initializes it with one of the 16 predefined colors. Here i is one of the 16 integer constants black, white, red, green, blue, yellow, violet, orange, cyan, brown, pink, green2, blue2, grey1, grey2, or grey3.

Operations

void col.set_rgb(int r, int g, int b)
    sets the rgb-value of col to (r, g, b).

void col.get_rgb(int& r, int& g, int& b)
    assigns the rgb-value of col to (r, g, b).

void col.set_red(int r) changes the r-value of col to r.

void col.set_green(int g) changes the g-value of col to g.

void col.set_blue(int b) changes the b-value of col to b.
