DESCRIPTION

28       The QGLColormap class is used for installing custom colormaps into
29       QGLWidgets.
30
31       QGLColormap provides a platform independent way of specifying and
32       installing indexed colormaps into QGLWidgets. QGLColormap is especially
33       useful when using the OpenGL color-index mode.
34
35       Under X11 you must use an X server that supports either a PseudoColor
36       or DirectColor visual class. If your X server currently only provides a
37       GrayScale, TrueColor, StaticColor or StaticGray visual, you will not be
38       able to allocate colorcells for writing. If this is the case, try
39       setting your X server to 8 bit mode. It should then provide you with at
40       least a PseudoColor visual. Note that you may experience colormap
41       flashing if your X server is running in 8 bit mode.
42
43       Under Windows the size of the colormap is always set to 256 colors.
44       Note that under Windows you can also install colormaps in child
45       widgets.
46
47       This class uses explicit sharing (see Shared Classes).
48
49       Example of use:
50
51           #include <qapplication.h>
52           #include <qglcolormap.h>
53           int main()
54           {
55               QApplication a( argc, argv );
56               MySuperGLWidget widget( 0 ); // A QGLWidget in color-index mode
57               QGLColormap colormap;
58               // This will fill the colormap with colors ranging from
59               // black to white.
60               for ( int i = 0; i < colormap.size(); i++ )
61                   colormap.setEntry( i, qRgb( i, i, i ) );
62               widget.setColormap( colormap );
63               widget.show();
64               return a.exec();
65           }

76

QGLColormap::~QGLColormap ()

78       Dereferences the QGLColormap and deletes it if this was the last
79       reference to it.
80

void QGLColormap::detach ()

82       Detaches this QGLColormap from the shared block.
83

QColor QGLColormap::entryColor ( int idx ) const

85       Returns the QRgb value in the colorcell with index idx.
86

QRgb QGLColormap::entryRgb ( int idx ) const

88       Returns the QRgb value in the colorcell with index idx.
