Class: QgsColorWidget

class qgis.gui.QgsColorWidget(parent: QWidget = None, component: QgsColorWidget.ColorComponent = QgsColorWidget.Multiple)

Bases: PyQt5.QtWidgets.QWidget

Construct a new color widget.

Parameters
  • parent (QWidget = None) – parent QWidget for the widget

  • component (QgsColorWidget.ColorComponent = QgsColorWidget.Multiple) – color component the widget alters

A base class for interactive color widgets. Widgets can either allow setting a single component of a color (e.g., the red or green components), or an entire color. The QgsColorWidget also keeps track of any explicitly set hue for the color, so that this information is not lost when the widget is set to a color with an ambiguous hue (e.g., black or white shades).

actionEvent()
alterColor(self, color: Union[QColor, Qt.GlobalColor, QGradient], component: QgsColorWidget.ColorComponent, newValue: int)

Alters a color by modifiying the value of a specific color component

Parameters
  • color (Union[QColor) – color to alter

  • component (QgsColorWidget.ColorComponent) – color component to alter

  • newValue (int) – new value of color component. Values are automatically clipped to a valid range for the color component.

changeEvent()
childEvent()
closeEvent()
color(self) → QColor

Returns the current color for the widget

Return type

QColor

Returns

current widget color

setColor()

colorChanged

Emitted when the widget’s color changes

Parameters

color – new widget color [signal]

component(self) → QgsColorWidget.ColorComponent

Returns the color component which the widget controls

Return type

QgsColorWidget.ColorComponent

Returns

color component for widget

See also

setComponent()

componentRange(self) → int

Returns the range of valid values for the color widget’s component

Returns

maximum value allowed for color component, or -1 if widget has multiple components

componentRange(self, component: QgsColorWidget.ColorComponent) -> int Returns the range of valid values a color component

Return type

int

Returns

maximum value allowed for color component

componentValue(self) → int

Returns the current value of the widget’s color component

Returns

value of color component, or -1 if widget has multiple components or an invalid color set

See also

component()

componentValue(self, component: QgsColorWidget.ColorComponent) -> int Returns the value of a component of the widget’s current color. This method correctly handles hue values when the color has an ambiguous hue (e.g., black or white shades)

Parameters

component – color component to return

Return type

int

Returns

value of color component, or -1 if widget has an invalid color set

New in version 2.14: [signal]

hue(self) → int

Returns the hue for the widget. This may differ from the hue for the QColor returned by color(), as QColor returns a hue of -1 if the color’s hue is ambiguous (e.g., if the saturation is zero).

Return type

int

Returns

explicitly set hue for widget
