## Detailed Description

An RGBA Color.

The RGBA class is a convenient way to pass rgba colors around. It's based on cairo's way to deal with (possibly translucent) colors and mirrors its behavior. All values are in the range from 0.0 to 1.0 inclusive. So the color (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0) represents transparent black and (1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0) is opaque white. Other values will be clamped to this range when drawing.

## RGBA() [5/5]

Gdk::RGBA::RGBA | ( | const Glib::ustring & | value | ) |

explicit

Parses a textual representation of a color and creates a new Gdk::RGBA with the corresponding values in its `red`, `green`, `blue` and `alpha` fields.

The string can be one of:

- A standard name (taken from the X11 rgb.txt file)
- A hexadecimal value in the form `#rgb`, `#rrggbb`, `#rrrgggbbb` or #rrrrggggbbbb
- An RGB color in the form `rgb(r,g,b)` (In this case the color will have full opacity)
- An RGBA color in the form `rgba(r,g,b,a)`

Where `r`, `g`, `b` and `a` are respectively the red, green, blue and alpha color values. In the last two cases, `r` `g` and `b` are either integers in the range 0 to 255 or percentage values in the range 0% to 100%, and `a` is a floating point value in the range 0 to 1.

Parameters

  value | the string specifying the color.

These string forms are string forms those supported by the CSS3 colors module, and can be parsed by parse().

Note that this string representation may lose some precision, since r, g and b are represented as 8-bit integers. If this is a concern, you should use a different representation.
