Inheritance diagram for wxColour:Detailed Description
A colour is an object representing a combination of Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) intensity values and an Alpha value, and is used to determine drawing colours.
See the entry for wxColourDatabase for how a pointer to a predefined, named colour may be returned instead of creating a new colour.
Valid RGB values are in the range 0 to 255.
You can retrieve the current system colour settings with wxSystemSettings.
Channel Accessor Functions
Note that this class provides pairs of functions for each of the colour channels, i.e. red, green, blue and alpha values. The one word functions Red(), Green(), Blue() and Alpha() return the values of type unsigned char, while GetRed(), GetGreen(), GetBlue() and GetAlpha() returns the same value as unsigned int. According to the C++ integer promotion rules, the result of any arithmetic expression involving the former will be (signed) int, while that of the latter will be unsigned, which is what would be commonly expected, so the latter family of functions should be typically preferred (but they are only available since wxWidgets 3.1.6).
Predefined objects/pointers:
- wxNullColour - An empty, invalid colour.
- wxTransparentColour - Valid but fully transparent colour (new in 2.9.1).
- wxBLACK
- wxBLUE
- wxCYAN
- wxGREEN
- wxYELLOW
- wxLIGHT_GREY
- wxRED
- wxWHITE

Member Function Documentation
◆ Alpha()
|
virtual |
Returns the alpha value, on platforms where alpha is not yet supported, this always returns wxALPHA_OPAQUE.
- See also
- GetAlpha()
◆ AlphaBlend()
|
static |
Blend colour, taking alpha into account.
- Since
- 2.9.0
◆ Blue()
|
virtual |
Returns the blue intensity.
- See also
- GetBlue()
◆ ChangeLightness() [1/2]
| wxColour wxColour::ChangeLightness | ( | int | ialpha | ) | const |
wxColour wrapper for ChangeLightness(r,g,b,ialpha).
- Since
- 2.9.0
◆ ChangeLightness() [2/2]
|
static |
Utility function that simply darkens or lightens a color, based on the specified percentage ialpha.
ialpha of 0 would be make the color completely black, 200 completely white and 100 would not change the color.
- Since
- 2.9.0
◆ GetAlpha()
| unsigned int wxColour::GetAlpha | ( | ) | const |
Returns the alpha value, on platforms where alpha is not yet supported, this always returns wxALPHA_OPAQUE.
- Since
- 3.1.6
◆ GetAsString()
|
virtual |
Converts this colour to a wxString using the given flags.
The supported flags are wxC2S_NAME, to obtain the colour name (e.g. wxColour(255,0,0) == "red"), wxC2S_CSS_SYNTAX, to obtain the colour in the "rgb(r,g,b)" or "rgba(r,g,b,a)" syntax (e.g. wxColour(255,0,0,85) == "rgba(255,0,0,0.333)"), and wxC2S_HTML_SYNTAX, to obtain the colour as "#" followed by 6 hexadecimal digits (e.g. wxColour(255,0,0) == "#FF0000").
This function returns empty string if the colour is not initialized (see IsOk()). Otherwise, the returned string is always non-empty, but the function asserts if the colour has alpha channel (i.e. is non opaque) but wxC2S_CSS_SYNTAX (which is the only one supporting alpha) is not specified in flags.
- Note
- For non-solid (i.e. non-RGB) colour this function returns "rgb(??, ?? ??)" or "#??????".
- Since
- 2.7.0
◆ GetBlue()
| unsigned int wxColour::GetBlue | ( | ) | const |
Returns the blue intensity as unsigned int.
- Since
- 3.1.6
◆ GetGreen()
| unsigned int wxColour::GetGreen | ( | ) | const |
Returns the green intensity as unsigned int.
- Since
- 3.1.6
◆ GetLuminance()
| double wxColour::GetLuminance | ( | ) | const |
Return the perceived brightness of the colour.
This value is computed using the simple
formula with the coefficients taken from the RGB to YIQ conversion formula and R, G and B being the values of the corresponding colour channels normalized to 0..1 range, so that the return value is 0 for black and 1 for white.
- Since
- 3.1.3
◆ GetPixel()
| wxIntPtr wxColour::GetPixel | ( | ) | const |
Returns a pixel value which is platform-dependent.
On Windows, a COLORREF is returned. On X, an allocated pixel value is returned. If the pixel is invalid (on X, unallocated), -1 is returned.
◆ GetRed()
| unsigned int wxColour::GetRed | ( | ) | const |
Returns the red intensity as unsigned int.
- Since
- 3.1.6
◆ GetRGB()
| wxUint32 wxColour::GetRGB | ( | ) | const |
Gets the RGB or RGBA colour values as a single 32 bit value.
The returned value is of the same form as expected by SetRGB() and SetRGBA().
Notice that GetRGB() returns the value with 0 as its highest byte independently of the value actually returned by Alpha(). So for a fully opaque colour, the return value of GetRGBA() is 0xFFBBGGRR while that of GetRGB() is 0x00BBGGRR.
- Since
- 2.9.1
◆ GetRGBA()
| wxUint32 wxColour::GetRGBA | ( | ) | const |
Gets the RGB or RGBA colour values as a single 32 bit value.
The returned value is of the same form as expected by SetRGB() and SetRGBA().
Notice that GetRGB() returns the value with 0 as its highest byte independently of the value actually returned by Alpha(). So for a fully opaque colour, the return value of GetRGBA() is 0xFFBBGGRR while that of GetRGB() is 0x00BBGGRR.
- Since
- 2.9.1
◆ Green()
|
virtual |
Returns the green intensity.
- See also
- GetGreen()
◆ IsOk()
|
virtual |
Returns true if the colour object is valid (the colour has been initialised with RGB values).

is solid, false if it is a pattern (currently only possible on macOS)
