Member Function Documentation

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 296 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.

iccProfile()

QColorSpace QgsColorUtils::iccProfile ( const QString &  iccProfileFilePath, QString &  errorMsg  )

static

Loads an ICC profile from iccProfileFilePath and returns associated color space.

If an error occurred, an invalid color space is returned and errorMsg is updated with error message

Parameters

iccProfileFilePath	ICC profile file path
errorMsg	Will be set to a user-friendly message if an error occurs while loading the ICC profile file

Returns

loaded color space

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.

saveIccProfile()

QString QgsColorUtils::saveIccProfile ( const QColorSpace &  colorSpace, const QString &  iccProfileFilePath  )

static

Save color space colorSpace to an ICC profile file iccProfileFilePath.

Returns

error message if an error occurred else empty string.

toColorModel()

Qgis::ColorModel QgsColorUtils::toColorModel ( QColorSpace::ColorModel  colorModel, bool *  ok = nullptr  )

static

Convert and returns Qt colorModel to Qgis::ColorModel.

ok is set to true if colorModel is a valid Qgis::ColorModel.

Note

Not available in Python bindings

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).
