To use these routines <STRONG>start_color</STRONG> must be - called, usually right after <STRONG>initscr</STRONG>. Colors are always - used in pairs (referred to as color-pairs). A color-pair - consists of a foreground color (for characters) and a - background color (for the blank field on which the charac- - ters are displayed). A programmer initializes a color- - pair with the routine <STRONG>init_pair</STRONG>. After it has been ini- - tialized, <STRONG>COLOR_PAIR</STRONG>(<EM>n</EM>), a macro defined in <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG>, - can be used as a new video attribute. - - If a terminal is capable of redefining colors, the pro- - grammer can use the routine <STRONG>init_color</STRONG> to change the defi- - nition of a color. The routines <STRONG>has_colors</STRONG> and - <STRONG>can_change_color</STRONG> return <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG> or <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>, depending on - whether the terminal has color capabilities and whether - the programmer can change the colors. The routine - <STRONG>color_content</STRONG> allows a programmer to extract the amounts - of red, green, and blue components in an initialized - color. The routine <STRONG>pair_content</STRONG> allows a programmer to - find out how a given color-pair is currently defined. - - <STRONG>Routine</STRONG> <STRONG>Descriptions</STRONG> - The <STRONG>start_color</STRONG> routine requires no arguments. It must be - called if the programmer wants to use colors, and before - any other color manipulation routine is called. It is - good practice to call this routine right after <STRONG>initscr</STRONG>. - <STRONG>start_color</STRONG> initializes eight basic colors (black, red, - green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, and white), and two - global variables, <STRONG>COLORS</STRONG> and <STRONG>COLOR_PAIRS</STRONG> (respectively - defining the maximum number of colors and color-pairs the - terminal can support). It also restores the colors on the - terminal to the values they had when the terminal was just - turned on. - - The <STRONG>init_pair</STRONG> routine changes the definition of a color- - pair. It takes three arguments: the number of the color- - pair to be changed, the foreground color number, and the - background color number. For portable applications: - - - The value of the first argument must be between <STRONG>1</STRONG> and - <STRONG>COLOR_PAIRS-1</STRONG>. - - - The value of the second and third arguments must be - between 0 and <STRONG>COLORS</STRONG> (the 0 color pair is wired to - white on black and cannot be changed). - - If the color-pair was previously initialized, the screen - is refreshed and all occurrences of that color-pair are - changed to the new definition. - - As an extension, ncurses allows you to set color pair 0 - via the <STRONG>assume_default_colors</STRONG> routine, or to specify the - use of default colors (color number <STRONG>-1</STRONG>) if you first - invoke the <STRONG>use_default_colors</STRONG> routine. - - The <STRONG>init_color</STRONG> routine changes the definition of a color. - It takes four arguments: the number of the color to be - changed followed by three RGB values (for the amounts of - red, green, and blue components). The value of the first - argument must be between <STRONG>0</STRONG> and <STRONG>COLORS</STRONG>. (See the section - <STRONG>Colors</STRONG> for the default color index.) Each of the last - three arguments must be a value between 0 and 1000. When - <STRONG>init_color</STRONG> is used, all occurrences of that color on the - screen immediately change to the new definition. - - The <STRONG>has_colors</STRONG> routine requires no arguments. It returns - <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG> if the terminal can manipulate colors; otherwise, it - returns <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>. This routine facilitates writing terminal- - independent programs. For example, a programmer can use - it to decide whether to use color or some other video - attribute. - - The <STRONG>can_change_color</STRONG> routine requires no arguments. It - returns <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG> if the terminal supports colors and can - change their definitions; other, it returns <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>. This - routine facilitates writing terminal-independent programs. - - The <STRONG>color_content</STRONG> routine gives programmers a way to find - the intensity of the red, green, and blue (RGB) components - in a color. It requires four arguments: the color number, - and three addresses of <STRONG>short</STRONG>s for storing the information - about the amounts of red, green, and blue components in - the given color. The value of the first argument must be - between 0 and <STRONG>COLORS</STRONG>. The values that are stored at the - addresses pointed to by the last three arguments are - between 0 (no component) and 1000 (maximum amount of com- - ponent). - - The <STRONG>pair_content</STRONG> routine allows programmers to find out - what colors a given color-pair consists of. It requires - three arguments: the color-pair number, and two addresses - of <STRONG>short</STRONG>s for storing the foreground and the background - color numbers. The value of the first argument must be - between 1 and <STRONG>COLOR_PAIRS-1</STRONG>. The values that are stored - at the addresses pointed to by the second and third argu- - ments are between 0 and <STRONG>COLORS</STRONG>. - - <STRONG>Colors</STRONG> - In <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG> the following macros are defined. These are - the default colors. <STRONG>curses</STRONG> also assumes that <STRONG>COLOR_BLACK</STRONG> - is the default background color for all terminals. - - <STRONG>COLOR_BLACK</STRONG> - <STRONG>COLOR_RED</STRONG> - <STRONG>COLOR_GREEN</STRONG> - <STRONG>COLOR_YELLOW</STRONG> - <STRONG>COLOR_BLUE</STRONG> - <STRONG>COLOR_MAGENTA</STRONG> - <STRONG>COLOR_CYAN</STRONG> - <STRONG>COLOR_WHITE</STRONG> - - -</PRE> -<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE> - The routines <STRONG>can_change_color()</STRONG> and <STRONG>has_colors()</STRONG> return - <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG> or <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>. - - All other routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and - an <STRONG>OK</STRONG> (SVr4 specifies only "an integer value other than - <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion. - - -</PRE> -<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE> - In the <EM>ncurses</EM> implementation, there is a separate color - activation flag, color palette, color pairs table, and - associated COLORS and COLOR_PAIRS counts for each screen; - the <STRONG>start_color</STRONG> function only affects the current screen. - The SVr4/XSI interface is not really designed with this in - mind, and historical implementations may use a single - shared color palette. - - Note that setting an implicit background color via a color - pair affects only character cells that a character write - operation explicitly touches. To change the background - color used when parts of a window are blanked by erasing - or scrolling operations, see <STRONG><A HREF="curs_bkgd.3x.html">curs_bkgd(3x)</A></STRONG>. - - Several caveats apply on 386 and 486 machines with VGA- - compatible graphics: - - - COLOR_YELLOW is actually brown. To get yellow, use - COLOR_YELLOW combined with the <STRONG>A_BOLD</STRONG> attribute. - - - The A_BLINK attribute should in theory cause the - background to go bright. This often fails to work, - and even some cards for which it mostly works (such - as the Paradise and compatibles) do the wrong thing - when you try to set a bright "yellow" background (you - get a blinking yellow foreground instead). - - - Color RGB values are not settable. - - -</PRE> -<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE> - This implementation satisfies XSI Curses's minimum maxi- - mums for <STRONG>COLORS</STRONG> and <STRONG>COLOR_PAIRS</STRONG>. - - The <STRONG>init_pair</STRONG> routine accepts negative values of fore- - ground and background color to support the - <STRONG>use_default_colors</STRONG> extension, but only if that routine has - been first invoked. - - The assumption that <STRONG>COLOR_BLACK</STRONG> is the default background - color for all terminals can be modified using the - <STRONG>assume_default_colors</STRONG> extension, - - - -</PRE> -<H2>SEE ALSO</H2><PRE> - <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="curs_initscr.3x.html">curs_initscr(3x)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="curs_attr.3x.html">curs_attr(3x)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG>default_col-</STRONG> - <STRONG><A HREF="default_colors.3x.html">ors(3x)</A></STRONG> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -</PRE> -<HR> -<ADDRESS> -Man(1) output converted with -<a href="http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/man2html.html">man2html</a> -</ADDRESS> -</BODY> -</HTML> |
