C - FLTK Enumerations

This appendix lists the enumerations provided in the <FL/Enumerations.H> header file, organized by section. Constants whose value is zero are marked with "(0)", this is often useful to know when programming.

Version Numbers

The FLTK version number is stored in a number of compile-time constants:

FL_MAJOR_VERSION - The major release number, currently 1.
FL_MINOR_VERSION - The minor release number, currently 1.
FL_PATCH_VERSION - The patch release number, currently 0.
FL_VERSION - A combined floating-point version number for the major, minor, and patch release numbers, currently 1.0100.

Colors

The Fl_Color enumeration type holds a FLTK color value. Colors are either 8-bit indexes into a virtual colormap or 24-bit RGB color values. Color indices occupy the lower 8 bits of the value, while RGB colors occupy the upper 24 bits, for a byte organization of RGBI.

Color Constants

Constants are defined for the user-defined foreground and background colors, as well as specific colors and the start of the grayscale ramp and color cube in the virtual colormap. Inline functions are provided to retrieve specific grayscale, color cube, or RGB color values.

The following color constants can be used to access the user-defined colors:

FL_BACKGROUND_COLOR - the default background color
FL_BACKGROUND2_COLOR - the default background color for text, list, and valuator widgets
FL_FOREGROUND_COLOR - the default foreground color (0) used for labels and text
FL_INACTIVE_COLOR - the inactive foreground color
FL_SELECTION_COLOR - the default selection/highlight color

The following color constants can be used to access the colors from the FLTK standard color cube:

FL_BLACK
FL_BLUE
FL_CYAN
FL_DARK_BLUE
FL_DARK_CYAN
FL_DARK_GREEN
FL_DARK_MAGENTA
FL_DARK_RED
FL_DARK_YELLOW
FL_GREEN
FL_MAGENTA
FL_RED

FL_YELLOW

The inline methods for getting a grayscale, color cube, or RGB color value are described in Appendix B - Function Reference.
