Edje Color Class example

This example shows how to manipulate and change Color classes. In this example we will create two surfaces to show what happens when you change the color class at the process and object level.

It's a very simple example, there are two surfaces created from the same EDC, but just in one of them we will set a specific color class, although both will be affected by color class set at the process level as you will see.

It's important you know that all colors has the format R G B A. Just to be easier to understand this example, we will create a small set of colors that will be used along of the example. This piece of code is shown below:

static color colors_init_data[] =
  {{255, 0, 0, 255},            /* red */
   {0, 255, 0, 255},            /* green */
   {0, 0, 255, 255},            /* blue */
   {0, 0, 0, 255},              /* black */
   {255, 255, 255, 255},        /* white */
   {128, 128, 128, 255},        /* gray */
   {255, 255, 0, 255},          /* yellow */
   {255, 0, 255, 255}           /* pink */
  };
 
static char *color_names[] =
  {"red", "green", "blue", "black", "white",
   "gray", "yellow", "pink"};
 
static Eina_Bool
_get_color_from_name(const char *n, color *c)
{
   int i;
   for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
     if (!strcmp(n, color_names[i]))
       {
          (*c)[0] = (colors_init_data[i])[0];
          (*c)[1] = (colors_init_data[i])[1];
          (*c)[2] = (colors_init_data[i])[2];
          (*c)[3] = (colors_init_data[i])[3];
          return EINA_TRUE;
       }
 
   return EINA_FALSE;
}

Focusing on the relevant parts of the code we go right to the part where we set the new color class. For that we will use the functions edje_color_class_set ( which will affect all edjes) and edje_object_color_class_set (which affects just the specific object).

   edje_color_class_set(argv[1],                     /* class name   */
                        c1[0], c1[1], c1[2], c1[3],  /* Object color */
                        c2[0], c2[1], c2[2], c2[3],  /* Text outline */
                        c3[0], c3[1], c3[2], c3[3]); /* Text shadow  */
 
   /* Setting an arbitrary value just to see the difference between */
   /* process level and object level */
   edje_object_color_class_set(edje_obj2, argv[1], /* class name   */
                               128, 180, 77, 255,  /* Object color */
                               200, 22, 86, 255,   /* Text outline */
                               39, 90, 187, 255);  /* Text shadow  */

Note

• argv[1] is the name of a color class used in the EDC.
• The second and third colors only apply to text part.
• The color class set for the object overrides the color previously set.

After we have set the color class we will check the color classes, for that we created a function which prints all color classes and tries to get theirs values and print too.

_color_classes_print(void)
{
   Eina_List *classes;
   char *class_name;
 
   printf("Getting the color classes\n\n");
   classes = edje_color_class_list();
   EINA_LIST_FREE(classes, class_name)
     {
        int r1, r2, r3, g1, g2, g3, b1, b2, b3,
          a1, a2, a3;
 
        printf("\ncolor class: %s\n", class_name);
        if (!edje_color_class_get(class_name, &r1, &g1, &b1, &a1,
                                  &r2, &g2, &b2, &a2, &r3, &g3, &b3, &a3))
          fprintf(stderr, "Cannot get the color class\n");
        else
          {
 
             printf("Object color r: %d g: %d b: %d a: %d\n",
                     r1, g1, b1, a1);
             printf("Text outline color r: %d g: %d b: %d a: %d\n",
                     r2, g2, b2, a2);
             printf("Text shadow color r: %d g: %d b: %d a: %d\n",
                     r3, g3, b3, a3);
          }
        free(class_name);
     }
}

There are two other things that are worth mentioning, we added two callbacks for the objects, one for mouse down (that we use to delete the color class) and another for the signal emitted when a color class is deleted.

   evas_object_event_callback_add(edje_obj1, EVAS_CALLBACK_MOUSE_DOWN,
                                  _on_mouse_down, NULL);
   edje_object_signal_callback_add(edje_obj1, "color_class,del", "*",
                                   (Edje_Signal_Cb) _color_class_callback_delete,
                                   "process");

And then we delete the color class:

_on_mouse_down(void *data EINA_UNUSED, Evas *e EINA_UNUSED, Evas_Object *obj, void *event_info)
{
   Evas_Event_Mouse_Down *ev = event_info;
 
   if (ev->button == 1)
     {
        if (obj == edje_obj1)
          edje_color_class_del(selected_class);
        else
          edje_object_color_class_del(edje_obj2, selected_class);
     }

Our example will look like this, if you run with the parameters "green_class gray pink yellow":
