Description

Details

GtkColorSelection

typedef struct _GtkColorSelection GtkColorSelection;

The GtkColorSelection struct contains private data only, and should be accessed using the functions below.

GtkWidget*          gtk_color_selection_new             (void);

Creates a new GtkColorSelection.

Returns : a new GtkColorSelection
