## Detailed Description

The Fl_Color_Chooser widget provides a standard RGB color chooser.

You can place any number of the widgets into a panel of your own design. The diagram shows the widget as part of a color chooser dialog created by the fl_color_chooser() function. The Fl_Color_Chooser widget contains the hue box, value slider, and rgb input fields from the above diagram (it does not have the color chips or the Cancel or OK buttons). The callback is done every time the user changes the rgb value. It is not done if they move the hue control in a way that produces the same rgb value, such as when saturation or value is zero.

The fl_color_chooser() function pops up a window to let the user pick an arbitrary RGB color. They can pick the hue and saturation in the "hue box" on the left (hold down CTRL to just change the saturation), and the brightness using the vertical slider. Or they can type the 8-bit numbers into the RGB Fl_Value_Input fields, or drag the mouse across them to adjust them. The pull-down menu lets the user set the input fields to show RGB, HSV, or 8-bit RGB (0 to 255).

The user can press CTRL-C to copy the currently selected color value as text in RGB hex format with leading zeroes to the clipboard, for instance `FL_GREEN` would be '00FF00' (since FLTK 1.4.0).

fl_color_chooser() returns non-zero if the user picks ok, and updates the RGB values. If the user picks cancel or closes the window this returns zero and leaves RGB unchanged.

If you use the color chooser on an 8-bit screen, it will allocate all the available colors, leaving you no space to exactly represent the color the user picks! You can however use fl_rectf() to fill a region with a simulated color using dithering.

Callback reasons can be `FL_REASON_DRAGGED`, `FL_REASON_CHANGED`, or `FL_REASON_RESELECTED`.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ Fl_Color_Chooser()

Fl_Color_Chooser::Fl_Color_Chooser | ( | int | X,
|  | int | Y,
|  | int | W,
|  | int | H,
|  | const char * | L = 0 )

Creates a new Fl_Color_Chooser widget using the given position, size, and label string.

The recommended dimensions are 200x95. The color is initialized to black.

Parameters

  [in] | X,Y,W,H | position and size of the widget
  [in] | L | widget label, default is no label

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ b()

double Fl_Color_Chooser::b | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the current blue value.

0 <= b <= 1.

## ◆ g()

double Fl_Color_Chooser::g | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the current green value.

0 <= g <= 1.

## ◆ handle()

int Fl_Color_Chooser::handle | ( | int | e | ) |
| virtual

Handles all events received by this widget.

This specific handle() method processes the standard 'copy' function as seen in other input widgets. It copies the current color value to the clipboard as a string in RGB format ('RRGGBB').

This format is independent of the Fl_Color_Chooser display format setting. No other formats are supplied.

The keyboard events handled are:

- ctrl-c
- ctrl-x
- ctrl-Insert

All other events are processed by the parent class `Fl_Group`.

This enables the user to choose a color value, press `ctrl-c` to copy the value to the clipboard and paste it into a color selection widget in another application window or any other text input (e.g. a preferences dialog or an editor).

Note
  Keyboard event handling by the current focus widget has priority, hence moving the focus to one of the buttons or selecting text in one of the input widgets effectively disables this special method.

Parameters

  [in] | e | current event

Returns
  1 if event has been handled, 0 otherwise

See also
  Fl_Group::handle(int)

Reimplemented from Fl_Widget.

## ◆ hsv()

int Fl_Color_Chooser::hsv | ( | double | H,
|  | double | S,
|  | double | V )

Set the hsv values.

The passed values are clamped (or for hue, modulus 6 is used) to get legal values. Does not do the callback.

Parameters

  [in] | H,S,V | color components.

Returns
  1 if a new hsv value was set, 0 if the hsv value was the previous one.

## ◆ hsv2rgb()

void Fl_Color_Chooser::hsv2rgb | ( | double | H,
|  | double | S,
|  | double | V,
|  | double & | R,
|  | double & | G,
|  | double & | B )
| static

This static method converts HSV colors to RGB colorspace.

Parameters

  [in] | H,S,V | color components
  [out] | R,G,B | color components

## ◆ hue()

double Fl_Color_Chooser::hue | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the current hue.

0 <= hue < 6. Zero is red, one is yellow, two is green, etc. This value is convenient for the internal calculations - some other systems consider hue to run from zero to one, or from 0 to 360.

## ◆ mode() [1/2]

int Fl_Color_Chooser::mode | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Returns which Fl_Color_Chooser variant is currently active.

Returns
  color modes are rgb(0), byte(1), hex(2), or hsv(3)

## ◆ mode() [2/2]

void Fl_Color_Chooser::mode | ( | int | newMode | ) |

Set which Fl_Color_Chooser variant is currently active.

Parameters

  [in] | newMode | color modes are rgb(0), byte(1), hex(2), or hsv(3)

## ◆ r()

double Fl_Color_Chooser::r | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the current red value.

0 <= r <= 1.

## ◆ rgb()

int Fl_Color_Chooser::rgb | ( | double | R,
|  | double | G,
|  | double | B )

Sets the current rgb color values.

Does not do the callback. Does not clamp (but out of range values will produce psychedelic effects in the hue selector).

Parameters

  [in] | R,G,B | color components.

Returns
  1 if a new rgb value was set, 0 if the rgb value was the previous one.

## ◆ rgb2hsv()

void Fl_Color_Chooser::rgb2hsv | ( | double | R,
|  | double | G,
|  | double | B,
|  | double & | H,
|  | double & | S,
|  | double & | V )
| static

This static method converts RGB colors to HSV colorspace.

Parameters

  [in] | R,G,B | color components
  [out] | H,S,V | color components

## ◆ saturation()

double Fl_Color_Chooser::saturation | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the saturation.

0 <= saturation <= 1.

## ◆ value()

double Fl_Color_Chooser::value | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the value/brightness.

0 <= value <= 1.
