NAME

       XmColorSelector - The Color Selector widget

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/ColorS.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The  Color  Selector  widget  allows  users to choose a color by using either a set of RGB
       sliders or choosing from a list of all colors available in the rgb database. The  name  or
       rgb  value,  as  well as the color selected, are dynamically displayed to the user as they
       pick and choose different colors.

       All resource names begin with XmN and all resource class names begin with XmC.

blueSliderLabel

       The string appearing for the label of the blue slider

colorListTogLabel

       The string appearing for the label of the color list toggle

colorMode

       The color list can be used in either slider or list mode. Acceptable values are XmListMode
       and XmScaleMode. This resource allows the application to determine the mode that the color
       selector should use when it is created. After this point, the user may freely change modes
       by utilizing a pair of radio buttons in the color selector. A type converter is registered
       to convert the strings "ScaleMode" and "ListMode" to color modes for use with the resource
       database.

colorName

       This  resource controls the color name that is currently displayed to the user. This value
       can be modified to change the color displayed in the color selector or queried to find the
       color  the  user  has selected. The string returned here is either a color name or a pound
       sign (#) followed by a set of rgb values as specified in the Xlib specification.

fileReadError

       The message which is displayed when the Color Selector cannot read the rgb.txt  file.  The
       message  is  displayed  at  the  top  of the window in which the color list would normally
       appear.

greenSliderLabel

       The string appearing for the label of the green slider

marginHeight

marginWidth

       This is the amount of space left between each of the children in the  color  selector  and
       between the outside children and the edge of the color selector widget.

noCellError

       This  resource  controls the message which is displayed in the sample color field when the
       Color Selector cannot allocate a read/write color cell

redSliderLabel

       The string appearing for the label of the red slider

rgbFile

       This is the name of the file to be loaded, which contains the valid color names.  Each  of
       these names is sorted and the duplicates removed before being shown to the user.

sliderTogLabel

       The string appearing for the label of the color slider toggle

Convenience Routine

XmCreateColorSelector - Widget creation convenience routine

       Widget XmCreateColorSelector(
                        Widget parent,     /* Widget id of parent for ColorSelector */
                        String name,       /* Name of the created widget */
                        ArgList args,      /* argument list */
                        Cardinal num_args  /* number of items in argument list */
                        )

Children

       The  color  selector is composed of many sub-widgets. As with all widgets, most values are
       passed to this widget through the argument list at creation time or via set values and are
       passed  to  each of this widget's children, although get values requests must be made on a
       child-by-child  basis.  The  children  of  the  color  selector  are  listed  below.   The
       documentation  for  each  of  the children should be consulted for a list of resources for
       each child.
