Operator Reference
query_color (Operator)
query_color
— Query all color names displayable in the window.
Signature
query_color( : : WindowHandle : Colors)
Description
query_color
returns the names of all colors that are
usable for region output (disp_region
,
disp_polygon
, disp_circle
, etc.). On a b/w
screen query_color
returns 'black' and 'white' .
These two “colors” are displayable on any screen.
In addition to 'black' and 'white' several gray values
(e.g., 'dim gray' ) are returned on
screens capable of gray values. A list of all displayable colors is
returned for screens with color lookup table. The returned tuple of
colors begins with b/w, followed by the three primaries
('red' ,'green' ,'blue' ) and several gray values.
query_all_colors(::WindowHandle:Colors )
returns a list of all
available colors.
For screens with true-color output the same list is returned by
query_color
. The list of available colors (to HALCON )
must not be confused with the list of displayable colors. For
screens with true-color output the available colors are only a small
subset of the displayable colors. Colors that are not directly
available to HALCON can be chosen manually with set_rgb
or set_hsi
. If colors are chosen that are known to
HALCON but cannot be displayed, HALCON can choose a similar
color. To use this feature, set_check(::'~color':)
must be set.
