Subgroup: Color

Class: QgsColorWidget

class qgis.gui.QgsColorWidget

Bases: PyQt5.QtWidgets.QWidget

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 – color to alter
  • component – color component to alter
  • newValue – new value of color component. Values are automatically clipped to a

valid range for the color component.

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

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

Returns:maximum value allowed for color component

set

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).

Returns:explicitly set hue for widget
