Details

class Gdk.RGBA(red=1.0, green=1.0, blue=1.0, alpha=1.0)

A Gdk.RGBA is used to represent a (possibly translucent) color, in a way that is compatible with cairo’s notion of color.

classmethod from_color(color)

Returns a new RGBA instance given a Color instance.

copy()[source]

Returns:

A newly allocated Gdk.RGBA, with the same contents as self

Return type:

Gdk.RGBA

Makes a copy of a Gdk.RGBA.

The result must be freed through Gdk.RGBA.free().

New in version 3.0.

equal(p2)[source]

Parameters:

p2 (Gdk.RGBA) – another Gdk.RGBA pointer

Returns:

True if the two colors compare equal

Return type:

bool

Compares two RGBA colors.

New in version 3.0.

free()[source]

Frees a Gdk.RGBA created with Gdk.RGBA.copy()

New in version 3.0.

hash()[source]

Returns:

The hash value for self

Return type:

int

A hash function suitable for using for a hash table that stores Gdk.RGBAs.

New in version 3.0.

parse(spec)[source]

Parameters:

spec (str) – the string specifying the color

Returns:

True if the parsing succeeded

Return type:

bool

Parses a textual representation of a color, filling in the red, green, blue and alpha fields of the self Gdk.RGBA.

The string can be either one of:

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.

New in version 3.0.

to_color()

Converts this RGBA into a Color instance which excludes alpha.

to_string()[source]

Returns:

A newly allocated text string

Return type:

str

Returns a textual specification of self in the formrgb(r,g,b) orrgba(r g,b,a), where “r”, “g”, “b” and “a” represent the red, green, blue and alpha values respectively. “r”, “g”, and “b” are represented as integers in the range 0 to 255, and “a” is represented as a floating point value in the range 0 to 1.

These string forms are string forms that are supported by the CSS3 colors module, and can be parsed by Gdk.RGBA.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.

New in version 3.0.
