Description:

PtColorSel is a superclass for all color-selection widgets. It defines a common interface to widgets that let you select colors. To maintain consistency, any widget that implements color selection should be a descendant of PtColorSel.

New resources:

Resource C type Pt type Default
Pt_ARG_CS_COLOR PgColor_t Scalar Pg_BLACK
Pt_ARG_CS_COLOR_MODELS PgColorModel_t *,
short
Array {Pg_CM_RGB}
Pt_ARG_CS_CURRENT_MODEL uint8_t Scalar 0
Pt_ARG_CS_FLAGS uint16_t Flags 0
Pt_ARG_CS_PALETTE PgPalette_t * Alloc NULL
Pt_CB_CS_COLOR_CHANGED PtCallback_t * Link NULL

Pt_ARG_CS_COLOR

C type Pt type Default
PgColor_t Scalar Pg_BLACK

The currently selected color. See PgColor_t in the Photon Library Reference.

Pt_ARG_CS_COLOR_MODELS

C type Pt type Default
PgColorModel_t *, short Array {Pg_CM_RGB}

A list of color models that this color selector supports. When you set a color using a color model that the selector doesn't support, the actual color can still be calculated; ensuring that the color model is supported can reduce roundoff errors if the color doesn't cleanly map between RGB and the color model in question.

In addition, this resource is useful for widgets that let you choose from the different color models that the widget supports.

The following color models are defined:

Pg_CM_RGB
Red-green-blue.
Pg_CM_HSB
Hue-saturation-brightness.
Pg_CM_HLS
Hue-lightness-saturation. A modified HSB model that's more intuitive for selecting colors in a GUI.
Pg_CM_CMYK
Cyan-magenta-yellow-black.

Here's an example of how to set this resource:

PgColorModel_t const *models[]={Pg_CM_RGB, Pg_CM_CMYK,
                                Pg_CM_HSB};

PtSetResource( my_widget, Pt_ARG_CS_COLOR_MODELS,
               models, 3 );

Pt_ARG_CS_CURRENT_MODEL

C type Pt type Default
uint8_t Scalar 0

An index to the currently active model into the array of color models that this widget supports. Indexes start at 0.

Pt_ARG_CS_FLAGS

C type Pt type Default
uint16_t Flags 0

Flags that control the widget's behavior:

Pt_CS_FAST_UPDATE
If the selector is undergoing a high-bandwidth change, do any rendering (if applicable) in a “fast” manner. This is a meta-flag that doesn't actually affect the behavior of PtColorSel itself, but may be observed by subclasses (PtColorPatch uses it to render the two-dimensional patch).
Pt_CS_QUANTIZE_COLOR
Ensure Pt_ARG_CS_COLOR is always mapped (quantized) to the nearest match in the palette if a palette is set. The PtColorSel widget always does this matching, so subclasses don't need to implement it.

Pt_ARG_CS_PALETTE

C type Pt type Default
PgPalette_t * Alloc NULL

The color palette supported by this PtColorSel. A palette serves these main purposes:

Pt_CB_CS_COLOR_CHANGED

C type Pt type Default
PtCallback_t * Link NULL

A list of PtCallback_t structures that define the callbacks that are invoked when the selected color changes.

Each callback is passed a PtCallbackInfo_t structure that contains at least the following members:

reason
Pt_CB_CS_COLOR_CHANGED
reason_subtype
A combination of the following:
event
A pointer to a PhEvent_t structure that describes the event that caused the callback to be invoked.
cbdata
A pointer to a PtColorSelCallback_t structure that contains at least these members:

These callbacks should return Pt_CONTINUE.

Inherited resources:

If the widget modifies an inherited resource, the “Default override” column indicates the new value. This modification affects any subclasses of the widget.
