Detailed Description

An RGBA color.

The RGBA class is a convenient way to pass colors around. It's based on cairo's way to deal with (possibly translucent) colors and mirrors its behavior. All values are in the range from 0.0 to 1.0 inclusive. So the color (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0) represents transparent black and (1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0) is opaque white. Other values will be clamped to this range when drawing.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Gdk::RGBA::RGBA ( GdkRGBA *  gobject,
bool  make_a_copy = true 
)
explicit
Gdk::RGBA::RGBA ( const RGBA other)
Gdk::RGBA::RGBA ( RGBA&&  other)
noexcept
Gdk::RGBA::~RGBA ( )
noexcept
Gdk::RGBA::RGBA ( )

Instantiate a new Gdk::RGBA.

Gdk::RGBA::RGBA ( const Glib::ustring value)
explicit

Parses a textual representation of a color and creates a new Gdk::RGBA with the corresponding values in its red, green, blue and alpha fields.

The string can be one of:

  • A standard name (taken from the X11 rgb.txt file)
  • A hexadecimal value in the form #rgb, #rrggbb, #rrrgggbbb or #rrrrggggbbbb
  • An RGB color in the form rgb(r,g,b) (In this case the color will have full opacity)
  • An RGBA color in the form rgba(r,g,b,a)

Where r, g, b and a are respectively the red, green, blue and alpha color values. In the last two cases, r g and b are either integers in the range 0 to 255 or percentage values in the range 0% to 100%, and a is a floating point value in the range 0 to 1.

Parameters
valuethe string specifying the color.
Gdk::RGBA::RGBA ( float  red_,
float  green_,
float  blue_,
float  alpha_ = 1.0 
)

Construct a Gdk::RGBA, by specifying red, green, and blue color component values, as fractions.

Parameters
red_The red component of the color, as a fraction.
green_The green component of the color, as a fraction.
blue_The blue component of the color, as a fraction.
alpha_The alpha component of the color, as a fraction.

These string forms are string forms that are supported by the CSS3 colors module, and can be parsed by parse().

Note that this string representation may lose some precision, since “r”, “g” and “b” are represented as 8-bit integers. If this is a concern, you should use a different representation.

Returns
A newly allocated text string.
