colorFromString()

QColor QgsColorUtils::colorFromString ( const QString &  string )

static

Decodes a string into a color value.

This method losslessly retrieves a color's definition from a string value. All properties of the color are restored, including the color specification and original values of the color's components. It is therefore suitable for restoring high color depth colors (such as 16 bit colors), or colors using alternative specifications such as CMYK colors.

An invalid color will be returned if the color could not be read.

colorToString()

Definition at line 295 of file qgscolorutils.cpp.

colorToString()

QString QgsColorUtils::colorToString ( const QColor &  color )

static

Encodes a color into a string value.

This method losslessly stores a color's definition into a single string value. All properties of the color are stored, including the color specification and original values of the color's components. It is therefore suitable for storing high color depth colors (such as 16 bit colors), or colors using alternative specifications such as CMYK colors.

readXml()

QColor QgsColorUtils::readXml ( const QDomElement &  element, const QString &  identifier, const QgsReadWriteContext &  context  )

static

Reads a color from an XML element, matching the specified identifier string.

This method losslessly retrieves a color's definition from an XML element. All properties of the color are restored, including the color specification and original values of the color's components. It is therefore suitable for restoring high color depth colors (such as 16 bit colors), or colors using alternative specifications such as CMYK colors.

An invalid color will be returned if the color could not be read.

writeXml()

writeXml()

void QgsColorUtils::writeXml ( const QColor &  color, const QString &  identifier, QDomDocument &  document, QDomElement &  element, const QgsReadWriteContext &  context  )

static

Writes a color to an XML element, storing it under the specified identifier.

This method losslessly stores a color's definition in an XML element. All properties of the color are stored, including the color specification and original values of the color's components. It is therefore suitable for storing high color depth colors (such as 16 bit colors), or colors using alternative specifications such as CMYK colors.

The identifier string is used to specify the element name for the stored color, allowing for multiple color definitions to be stored in a single element (assuming each uses a unique identifier string).
