gtk.gdk.Color — an object holding color information
| class gtk.gdk.Color(gobject.GBoxed): | 
Functions
    def gtk.gdk.color_parse(spec)| 
 | 
A gtk.gdk.Color
contains the values of a color that may or may not be allocated. The red,
green and blue attributes are specified by an unsigned integer in the range
0-65535. The pixel value is an index into the colormap that has allocated
the gtk.gdk.Color.
Typically a color is allocated by using the gdk.Colormap.alloc_color() 
method. Unallocated colors can be used to specify the color attributes of
gtk.Style
objects since these colors will be allocated when an attempt is made to use
the gtk.Style
object.
      Starting with PyGTK 2.14 gtk.gdk.Color objects are properly
      comparable.  By Python rules, colors (being mutable) are now unhashable.  If you
      need to use them as dictionary keys, use string representation instead.  You can
      convert string representation to gtk.gdk.Color objects using
      the constructor.
    
      Also beginning with PyGTK 2.14 gtk.gdk.Color objects have
      custom support for str and repr Python
      functions.  For any color it holds that:
    
  color == eval(repr(color))
        gtk.gdk.Color(red=0, green=0, blue=0, pixel=0)    gtk.gdk.Color(spec)| 
 | The red color component in the range 0-65535 | 
| 
 | The green color component in the range 0-65535 | 
| 
 | The blue color component in the range 0-65535 | 
| 
 | The index of the color when allocated in its colormap | 
| 
 | String containing color specification | 
| Returns : | a new gtk.gdk.Colorobject | 
Second form of the constructor is available in PyGTK 2.14 and above.
Creates a new gtk.gdk.Color object
with the color component values specified by red,
green and blue (all default to
0) and using the pixel value specified by pixel. The
value of pixel will be overwritten when the color is
allocated.
Second form of the constructor is analogous to
      gtk.gdk.color_parse.
    def to_string()| Returns : | a string | 
This method is available in PyGTK 2.12 and above.
                The to_string() method 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.
            
Starting with PyGTK 2.14 you can also
                use str(color) code.  However, that can return a
                shorter (3, 6 or 12 hexadecimal digits) string if shorter version means
                the same for the constructor.
    def gtk.gdk.color_parse(spec)| 
 | a string containing a color specification | 
| Returns : | a gtk.gdk.Colorobject | 
The gtk.gdk.color_parse() method returns
the gtk.gdk.Color
specified by spec. The format of
spec is a string containing the specification of the
color either as a name (e.g. "navajowhite") as specified in the X11
rgb.txt file or as a hexadecimal string (e.g.
"#FF0078"). The hexadecimal string must start with '#' and must contain 3
sets of hexadecimal digits of the same length (i.e. 1, 2 ,3 or 4 digits).
For example the following specify the same color value: "#F0A", "#FF00AA",
"#FFF000AAA" and "#FFFF0000AAAA". The gtk.gdk.Color is
not allocated.
This function raise the ValueError (TypeError prior to PyGTK 2.4) exception if unable to parse the color specification
