                                             gint len);

Attempts to parse a color name. This function accepts RGB hex values or SVG 1.0 color keywords. The format of an RGB value in hexadecimal notation is a '#' immediately followed by either three or six hexadecimal characters.

This funcion does not touch the alpha component of rgb.

rgb : a GimpRGB struct used to return the parsed color
name : a color name (in UTF-8 encoding)
len : the length of name, in bytes. or -1 if name is nul-terminated
Returns : TRUE if name was parsed successfully and rgb has been set, FALSE otherwise

Since GIMP 2.2

                                             gint len);

Attempts to parse a string describing a color in RGB value in hexadecimal notation (optionally prefixed with a '#').

This funcion does not touch the alpha component of rgb.

rgb : a GimpRGB struct used to return the parsed color
hex : a string describing a color in hexadecimal notation
len : the length of hex, in bytes. or -1 if hex is nul-terminated

gimp_rgb_parse_css ()

gboolean    gimp_rgb_parse_css              (GimpRGB *rgb,

                                             gint len);

Attempts to parse a string describing a color in RGB value in CSS notation. This can be either a numerical representation (rgb(255,0,0) or rgb(100%,0%,0%)) or a hexadecimal notation as parsed by gimp_rgb_parse_hex() (#ff0000) or a color name as parsed by gimp_rgb_parse_name() (red).

This funcion does not touch the alpha component of rgb.

rgb : a GimpRGB struct used to return the parsed color
css : a string describing a color in CSS notation
len : the length of hex, in bytes. or -1 if hex is nul-terminated
Returns : TRUE if css was parsed successfully and rgb has been set, FALSE otherwise

                                             GimpRGB **colors);

Allows to retrieve the list of SVG 1.0 color keywords that is used by gimp_rgb_parse_name().

The returned strings are const and must not be freed. Only the two arrays are allocated dynamically. You must call g_free() on the names and colors arrays when they are not any longer needed.

names : return location for an array of color names
colors : return location for an array of GimpRGB structs
Returns : the number of named colors (i.e. the length of the returned arrays)

Similar to gimp_rgb_parse_css() but handles RGB colors with alpha channel in the numerical CSS notation (rgba(255,0,0,255) or rgba(100%,0%,0%,1000%)).

It doesn't handle the hexadecimal notation or color names because they leave the alpha channel unspecified.

rgba : a GimpRGB struct used to return the parsed color
css : a string describing a color in CSS notation
len : the length of hex, in bytes. or -1 if hex is nul-terminated
Returns : TRUE if css was parsed successfully and rgb has been set, FALSE otherwise
