gdk_color_copy ()

GdkColor *
gdk_color_copy (const GdkColor *color);

Makes a copy of a GdkColor.

The result must be freed using gdk_color_free().

gdk_color_free ()

void
gdk_color_free (GdkColor *color);

Frees a GdkColor created with gdk_color_copy().

gdk_color_parse ()

gboolean
gdk_color_parse (const gchar *spec,
                 GdkColor *color);

Parses a textual specification of a color and fill in the red , green , and blue fields of a GdkColor.

The string can either one of a large set of standard names (taken from the X11 rgb.txt file), or it can be a hexadecimal value in the form “#rgb” “#rrggbb”, “#rrrgggbbb” or “#rrrrggggbbbb” where “r”, “g” and “b” are hex digits of the red, green, and blue components of the color, respectively. (White in the four forms is “#fff”, “#ffffff”, “#fffffffff” and “#ffffffffffff”).

gdk_color_equal ()

gboolean
gdk_color_equal (const GdkColor *colora,
                 const GdkColor *colorb);

Compares two colors.

gdk_color_hash ()

guint
gdk_color_hash (const GdkColor *color);

A hash function suitable for using for a hash table that stores GdkColors.

gdk_color_to_string ()

gchar *
gdk_color_to_string (const GdkColor *color);

Returns a textual specification of color in the hexadecimal form “#rrrrggggbbbb” where “r”, “g” and “b” are hex digits representing the red, green and blue components respectively.

The returned string can be parsed by gdk_color_parse().

GdkColor

typedef struct {
  guint32 pixel;
  guint16 red;
  guint16 green;
  guint16 blue;
} GdkColor;

A GdkColor is used to describe a color, similar to the XColor struct used in the X11 drawing API.
