These functions are used to modify colormaps. 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 gdk_colormap_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.
In previous revisions of this interface, a number
of functions that take a GdkColormap parameter
were replaced with functions whose names began
with "gdk_colormap_". This process will probably
be extended somewhat in the future -
gdk_color_white()
, gdk_color_black()
, and
gdk_color_change()
will probably become aliases.
typedef struct { guint32 pixel; guint16 red; guint16 green; guint16 blue; } GdkColor;
The GdkColor structure is used to describe an allocated or unallocated color.
guint32 pixel ; |
For allocated colors, the value used to draw this color on the screen. |
guint16 red ; |
The red component of the color. This is a value between 0 and 65535, with 65535 indicating full intensitiy. |
guint16 green ; |
The blue component of the color. |
guint16 blue ; |
The green component of the color. |
typedef struct { gint size; GdkColor *colors; } GdkColormap;

if TRUE , the newly created colormap will be
a private colormap, and all colors in it will be
allocated for the applications use.
|
Returns : | the new GdkColormap. |
GdkColormap* gdk_colormap_ref (GdkColormap *cmap);
gdk_colormap_ref
is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

void gdk_colormap_unref (GdkColormap *cmap);
gdk_colormap_unref
is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

gint gdk_colormap_get_system_size (void);
gdk_colormap_get_system_size

void gdk_colormap_change (GdkColormap *colormap, gint ncolors);
gdk_colormap_change
is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Changes the value of the first ncolors
in a private colormap
to match the values in the colors
array in the colormap. This function is obsolete and
should not be used. See gdk_color_change()
.
colormap : |
a GdkColormap. |

the number of colors to change. |
gint gdk_colormap_alloc_colors (GdkColormap *colormap, GdkColor *colors, gint ncolors, gboolean writeable, gboolean best_match, gboolean *success);

The number of colors in colors .
|
writeable : |
If TRUE , the colors are 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 colors cannot be allocated as requested.
|
success : |
An array of length ncolors . On return, this
indicates whether the corresponding color in colors was
successfully allocated or not.
|
Returns : | The number of colors that were not successfully allocated. |
gboolean gdk_colormap_alloc_color (GdkColormap *colormap, GdkColor *color, gboolean writeable, gboolean best_match);

color : |
the color to allocate. On return the
pixel 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_free_colors (GdkColormap *colormap, GdkColor *colors, gint ncolors);
Frees previously allocated colors.

void gdk_colormap_query_color (GdkColormap *colormap, gulong pixel, GdkColor *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 gdk_colormap_alloc_colors()
, or from a GdkImage. (A
GdkImage contains image data in hardware format, a GdkPixbuf
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 GtkColorSelection.
colormap : |
a GdkColormap |
pixel : |
pixel value in hardware display format |
result : |
GdkColor with red, green, blue fields initialized |
GdkVisual* gdk_colormap_get_visual (GdkColormap *colormap);
Returns the visual for which a given colormap was created.
colormap : |
a GdkColormap. |

GdkScreen* gdk_colormap_get_screen (GdkColormap *cmap);
Gets the screen for which this colormap was created.
cmap : |
a GdkColormap |
Returns : | the screen for which this colormap was created. |
