1, or 2 depending on which button is hit. ESC is a shortcut for

The red, green, and blue values are averaged using the following
formula:
<UL><PRE>
color = c1 * weight + c2 * (1 - weight)
</PRE></UL>
<P>Thus, a <CODE>weight</CODE> value of 1.0 will return the

<H3>Description</H3>
<P>The <CODE>double</CODE> version takes RGB values in the range
0.0 to 1.0. The <CODE>uchar</CODE> version takes RGB values in
the range 0 to 255. The <tt>title</tt> argument specifies the
label (title) for the window.
<P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="fl_color_chooser.jpg" ALT="The fl_color_chooser dialog."></P>
<P><tt>fl_color_chooser()</tt> pops up a window to let the user
pick an arbitrary RGB color. They can pick the hue and
saturation in the &quot;hue box&quot; on the left (hold down
CTRL to just change the saturation), and the brighness using the
vertical slider. Or they can type the 8-bit numbers into the
RGB <A href=Fl_Value_Input.html#Fl_Value_Input><tt>
Fl_Value_Input</tt></A> fields, or drag the mouse across them to
adjust them. The pull-down menu lets the user set the input
fields to show RGB, HSV, or 8-bit RGB (0 to 255).
<P>This returns non-zero if the user picks ok, and updates the
RGB values. If the user picks cancel or closes the window this
returns zero and leaves RGB unchanged.
<P>If you use the color chooser on an 8-bit screen, it will
allocate all the available colors, leaving you no space to
exactly represent the color the user picks! You can however use
<A href="drawing.html#fast"><tt> fl_rectf()</tt></A> to fill a
region with a simulated color using dithering.

range 0 to FL_NUM_GREEN (8) minus 1. <tt>b</tt> must be in the

defaults to a blank string.
<P><tt>relative</tt> specifies whether the returned filename

char *fl_file_chooser(const char * message, const char *pattern, const char *fname, int relative = 0);
</PRE></UL>
<H3>Description</H3>
<P>FLTK provides a &quot;tab completion&quot; file chooser that
makes it easy to choose files from large directories. This file
chooser has several unique features, the major one being that
the Tab key completes filenames like it does in Emacs or tcsh,
and the list always shows all possible completions.
<P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="Fl_File_Chooser.jpg" ALT="The fl_file_chooser window.">
<P><tt>fl_file_chooser()</tt> pops up the file chooser, waits
for the user to pick a file or Cancel, and then returns a
pointer to that filename or <tt>NULL</tt> if Cancel is chosen.
<P><tt>message</tt> is a string used to title the window.
<P><tt>pattern</tt> is used to limit the files listed in a
directory to those matching the pattern. This matching is done
by <A
href="#fl_filename_match"><tt>fl_filename_match()</tt></A>. Use
<tt>NULL</tt> to show all files.
<P><tt>fname</tt> is a default filename to fill in the chooser
with. If this is <tt>NULL</tt> then the last filename that was
choosen is used (unless that had a different pattern, in which
case just the last directory with no name is used). The first
time the file chooser is called this defaults to a blank string.
<P><tt>relative</tt> specifies whether the returned filename
should be relative (any non-zero value) or absolute (0). The
default is to return absolute paths.
<P>The returned value points at a static buffer that is only
good until the next time <tt>fl_file_chooser()</tt> is called.

<tt>from</tt> does not start with a slash, the current working
directory is prepended to <tt>from</tt> with any occurances of

<P>This function replaces environment variables and home
directories with the corresponding strings. Any occurrence of
<tt>$X</tt> is replaced by <tt>getenv(&quot;X&quot;)</tt>; if
<TT>$X</TT> is not defined in the environment, the occurrence is
not replaced. Any occurence of <tt>~X</tt> is replaced by user
<tt>X</tt>'s home directory; if user <TT>X</TT> does not exist,
the occurrence is not replaced. Any resulting double slashes
cause everything before the second slash to be deleted.
<P>The result is copied to <TT>to</TT>, and <TT>from</TT> and
<TT>to</TT> may point to the same buffer.
<TT>fl_filename_expand()</TT> returns non-zero if any changes

</PRE></UL>
<H3>Description</H3>
<P>This is a portable and const-correct wrapper for the
<tt>scandir()</tt> function. <tt>d</tt> is the name of a
directory; it does not matter if it has a trailing slash or not.
For each file in that directory a &quot;dirent&quot; structure
is created. The only portable thing about a dirent is that
<TT>dirent.d_name</TT> is the <TT>nul</TT>-terminated file name.
An array of pointers to these <TT>dirent</TT>'s is created and a
pointer to the array is returned in <tt>*list</tt>. The number
of entries is given as a return value. If there is an error
reading the directory a number less than zero is returned, and
<tt>errno</tt> has the reason; <tt>errno</tt> does not work
under WIN32.
<P>The <tt>sort</tt> argument specifies a sort function to be used
when on the array of filenames. The following standard sort functions
are provided with FLTK:
<UL>
<LI><TT>fl_alphasort</tt> - The files are sorted in
ascending alphabetical order; upper- and lowercase
letters are compared according to their ASCII ordering -
uppercase before lowercase.
<LI><TT>fl_casealphasort</tt> - The files are sorted in
ascending alphabetical order; upper- and lowercase
letters are compared equally - case is not significant.
<LI><TT>fl_casenumericsort</TT> - The files are sorted
in ascending &quot;alphanumeric&quot; order, where an
attempt is made to put unpadded numbers in consecutive
order; upper- and lowercase letters are compared equally
- case is not significant.
<LI><TT>fl_numericsort</TT> - The files are sorted in
ascending &quot;alphanumeric&quot; order, where an
attempt is made to put unpadded numbers in consecutive
order; upper- and lowercase letters are compared
according to their ASCII ordering - uppercase before
lowercase.
</UL>
<P>You can free the returned list of files with the following
code:
<UL><PRE>
for (int i = return_value; i &gt; 0;) {
free((void*)(list[--i]));
}
free((void*)list);
