clone(self) → QgsColorScheme

Clones a color scheme

Return type

QgsColorScheme

Returns

copy of color scheme

fetchColors(self, context: str = '', baseColor: Union[QColor, Qt.GlobalColor, QGradient] = QColor()) → object

Gets a list of colors from the scheme. The colors can optionally be generated using the supplied context and base color.

Parameters
  • context (str = '') – string specifying an optional context for the returned colors. For instance, a “recent colors” scheme may filter returned colors by context so that colors used only in a “composer” context are returned.

  • baseColor (Union[QColor) – base color for the scheme’s colors. Some color schemes may take advantage of this to filter or modify their returned colors to colors related to the base color.

Return type

object

Returns

a list of QPairs of color and color name

flags(self) → QgsColorScheme.SchemeFlags

Returns the current flags for the color scheme.

Return type

QgsColorScheme.SchemeFlags

Returns

current flags

isEditable(self) → bool

Returns whether the color scheme is editable

Return type

bool

Returns

true if scheme is editable

schemeName(self) → str

Gets the name for the color scheme

Return type

setColors(self, colors: object, context: str = '', baseColor: Union[QColor, Qt.GlobalColor, QGradient] = QColor()) → bool

Sets the colors for the scheme. This method is only valid for editable color schemes.

Parameters
  • colors (object) – list of colors for the scheme
