Gnome2:...orPicker(3)

💖 Gnome2::ColorPicker 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Gnome2::ColorPicker page — it's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally just a wrapper for GnomeColorPicker 🎨✨ no cap.

🌈 HIERARCHY

so this is the family tree and yes, it's giving royalty. here's who our girl descends from, in order:

Glib::Object
+----Glib::InitiallyUnowned
     +----Gtk2::Object
          +----Gtk2::Widget
               +----Gtk2::Container
                    +----Gtk2::Bin
                         +----Gtk2::Button
                              +----Gnome2::ColorPicker

like… six levels of ancestors. main character lineage fr fr 👑

🦋 INTERFACES

she also implements these, periodt:

✨ METHODS ✨

widget = Gnome2::ColorPicker->new

make a brand new color picker, fresh out the box 🎀 that's it, that's the whole thing, no arguments, she's just born.

(r, g, b, a) = $cp->get_d

$cp->set_d ($r, $g, $b, $a)

the double-precision era 💅 getters and setters for the color as doubles. the args are:

• $r (double) — red, but make it floating point
• $g (double) — green, also floaty
• $b (double) — blue, floaty too
• $a (double) — alpha, the see-through-ness, floaty obviously

boolean = $cp->get_dither

$cp->set_dither ($dither)

do we dither the color or not? that's the question 🫶

• $dither (boolean) — true or false, bestie, pick one

(r, g, b, a) = $cp->get_i16

$cp->set_i16 ($r, $g, $b, $a)

now we're in 16-bit integer territory, a whole different vibe 😌

• $r (unsigned)
• $g (unsigned)
• $b (unsigned)
• $a (unsigned)

all unsigned, all 16-bit, all iconic.

(r, g, b, a) = $cp->get_i8

$cp->set_i8 ($r, $g, $b, $a)

and the 8-bit version, the little one, the baby 🍓

• $r (unsigned)
• $g (unsigned)
• $b (unsigned)
• $a (unsigned)

string = $cp->get_title

$cp->set_title ($title)

every picker deserves a name, honestly 💜

• $title (string) — the text you want up in there

boolean = $cp->get_use_alpha

$cp->set_use_alpha ($use_alpha)

are we doing transparency today or not 🌸

• $use_alpha (boolean) — turn that alpha channel on or off

---

🎀 PROPERTIES 🎀

here's the property list, all of them, no skips, no cuts:

• 'alpha' (Glib::UInt : default 0 : readable / writable) — the alpha value of the chosen color
• 'blue' (Glib::UInt : default 0 : readable / writable) — the amount of blue in the chosen color
• 'dither' (boolean : default true : readable / writable) — whether or not to dither to color
• 'green' (Glib::UInt : default 0 : readable / writable) — the amount of green in the chosen color
• 'red' (Glib::UInt : default 0 : readable / writable) — the amount of red in the chosen color
• 'title' (string : default undef : readable / writable) — the title to give to the color picker
• 'use-alpha' (boolean : default false : readable / writable) — whether or not to give the color an alpha value

not me listing all seven like a good student because of course I did 😭

🔥 SIGNALS 🔥

one signal, and she's the moment:
