chooseColor(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation chooseColor(3)NAME
chooseColor - pops up a dialog box for the user to select a color.
SYNOPSIS
$color = $widget->chooseColor?(-option=>value, ...)?;
DESCRIPTION
The method chooseColor is implemented as a perl wrapper on the core tk
"command" tk_chooseColor, and $widget is passed as the argument to the
hidden -parent option. The implementation of internal tk_chooseColor
is platform specific, on Win32 it is a native dialog, and on UNIX/X it
is implemented in terms of Tk::ColorEditor.
The chooseColor method pops up a dialog box for the user to select a
color. The following option-value pairs are possible as command line
arguments:
-initialcolor=>color
Specifies the color to display in the color dialog when it pops up.
color must be in a form acceptable to the Tk_GetColor function.
-parent=>$widget
Makes $widget the logical parent of the color dialog. The color
dialog is displayed on top of its parent window.
-title=>titleString
Specifies a string to display as the title of the dialog box. If
this option is not specified, then a default title will be dis‐
played.
If the user selects a color, tk_chooseColor will return the name of the
color in a form acceptable to Tk_GetColor. If the user cancels the
operation, the command will return undef.
EXAMPLE
$widget->configure(-fg => $parent->chooseColor(-initialcolor => 'gray',
-title => "Choose color"));
