⭐ METHODS ⭐

okay this is the main character section, let's go 🫶

widget = Gtk2::ColorSelection->new

makes you a brand new color selection widget. slay. ✨

unsigned = $colorsel->get_current_alpha

reads back the current alpha value. it's an unsigned number bestie.

$colorsel->set_current_alpha ($alpha)

sets the current alpha.

  • $alpha (unsigned) — the alpha value you wanna set 👑

color = $colorsel->get_current_color

hands you back the current color as a Gtk2::Gdk::Color.

$colorsel->set_current_color ($color)

sets the current color.

  • $color (Gtk2::Gdk::Color) — the color to set 🎨

boolean = $colorsel->get_has_opacity_control

tells you whether opacity control is on. boolean, so true/false energy.

$colorsel->set_has_opacity_control ($has_opacity)

turns the opacity control on or off.

  • $has_opacity (boolean) — do we want opacity control or not 🙈

boolean = $colorsel->get_has_palette

asks if a palette is in use.

$colorsel->set_has_palette ($has_palette)

sets whether a palette should be used.

  • $has_palette (boolean) — palette yes or palette no 🌈

boolean = $colorsel->is_adjusting

are we mid-adjustment? boolean says it all.

list = Gtk2::ColorSelection->palette_from_string ($string)

decodes a palette string and gives you back a list of Gtk2::Gdk::color's.

  • $string (string) — the string to decode 🍓

(string) = Gtk::ColorSelection->palette_to_string (...)

encodes a palette as a string — super handy for persistent storage, bestie, so your palette doesn't ghost you on restart 💾

  • ... (list) — of Gtk2::Gdk::Color's for the palette

unsigned = $colorsel->get_previous_alpha

gives you the previous alpha. unsigned, obvi.

$colorsel->set_previous_alpha ($alpha)

sets the previous alpha.

  • $alpha (unsigned) — the previous alpha you want 💜

color = $colorsel->get_previous_color

returns the previous color as a Gtk2::Gdk::Color.

$colorsel->set_previous_color ($color)

sets the previous color.

  • $color (Gtk2::Gdk::Color) — the previous color 🎀

🧚 PROPERTIES 🧚

the properties, with all their flags, no cap:

  • 'current-alpha' (Glib::UInt : default 65535 : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — the current opacity value (0 is fully transparent, 65535 is fully opaque) 👀
  • 'current-color' (Gtk2::Gdk::Color : default undef : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — the current color, literally the whole point
  • 'has-opacity-control' (boolean : default false : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — whether the color selector should let you set opacity
  • 'has-palette' (boolean : default false : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — whether a palette should be used

🔥 SIGNALS 🔥

  • color-changed (Gtk2::ColorSelection) — fires when the color changes, and honestly? iconic behavior 💅
