Class, Method Overview

ColorPickerDialog

• ColorPickerDialog(color=QColor(255, 255, 255), orientation='horizontal')

  • color argument's type can be QColor or str.

  • orientation argument decides the overall layout direction of the dialog. There are two values. 'horizontal', 'vertical'. See layout preview below.

• getColor() -> QColor - get the color.

If you only want to use this as a part of window(not as whole dialog), use ColorPickerWidget(color=QColor(255, 255, 255), orientation='horizontal'). See the example below.

ColorPickerWidget

• colorChanged(color: QColor) - signal. After color being changed, this will be emitted.

• getCurrentColor() -> QColor - get the current color.

Code Sample

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QApplication, QHBoxLayout, QWidget, QTextEdit

from pyqt_color_picker import ColorPickerWidget





class Window(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):

        super().__init__()

        self.__initUi()



    def __initUi(self):

        self.__te = QTextEdit()

        self.__colorPicker = ColorPickerWidget(orientation='vertical')

        self.__colorPicker.colorChanged.connect(self.colorChanged) # when color has changed, call the colorChanged function

        lay = QHBoxLayout()

        lay.addWidget(self.__te)

        lay.addWidget(self.__colorPicker)

        mainWidget = QWidget()
