into a <a href="qglwidget.html">QGLWidget</a>.</p>
<p>QGLColormap provides a platform independent way of specifying
and installing indexed colormaps for a <a href="qglwidget.html">QGLWidget</a>. QGLColormap is especially useful
when using the OpenGL color-index mode.</p>
<p>Under X11 you must use an X server that supports either a
<tt>PseudoColor</tt> or <tt>DirectColor</tt> visual class. If your
X server currently only provides a <tt>GrayScale</tt>,
<tt>TrueColor</tt>, <tt>StaticColor</tt> or <tt>StaticGray</tt>
visual, you will not be able to allocate colorcells for writing. If
this is the case, try setting your X server to 8 bit mode. It
should then provide you with at least a <tt>PseudoColor</tt>
visual. Note that you may experience colormap flashing if your X
server is running in 8 bit mode.</p>
<p>The <a href="qglcolormap.html#size">size</a>() of the colormap
is always set to 256 colors. Note that under Windows you can also
install colormaps in child widgets.</p>
<p>This class uses <a href="implicit-sharing.html">implicit
sharing</a> as a memory and speed optimization.</p>
<p>Example of use:</p>
<pre class="highlightedCode brush: cpp">
#include <QApplication>
#include <QGLColormap>
int main()
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
MySuperGLWidget widget; <span class="comment">// a QGLWidget in color-index mode</span>
QGLColormap colormap;
<span class="comment">// This will fill the colormap with colors ranging from</span>
<span class="comment">// black to white.</span>
for (int i = 0; i < colormap.size(); i++)
colormap.setEntry(i, qRgb(i, i, i));
widget.setColormap(colormap);
widget.show();
return app.exec();
}

<h3 class="fn"><a name="QGLColormap-2" />QGLColormap.__init__ (<i>self</i>, <a href="qglcolormap.html">QGLColormap</a>)</h3><p>Construct a shallow copy of <i>map</i>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="detach" />QGLColormap.detach (<i>self</i>)</h3><h3 class="fn"><a name="entryColor" /><a href="qcolor.html">QColor</a> QGLColormap.entryColor (<i>self</i>, int <i>idx</i>)</h3><p>Returns the <a href="qcolor.html#QRgb-typedef">QRgb</a> value in
the colorcell with index <i>idx</i>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="entryRgb" />int QGLColormap.entryRgb (<i>self</i>, int <i>idx</i>)</h3><p>Returns the <a href="qcolor.html#QRgb-typedef">QRgb</a> value in
the colorcell with index <i>idx</i>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="find" />int QGLColormap.find (<i>self</i>, int <i>color</i>)</h3><p>Returns the index of the color <i>color</i>. If <i>color</i> is
not in the map, -1 is returned.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="findNearest" />int QGLColormap.findNearest (<i>self</i>, int <i>color</i>)</h3><p>Returns the index of the color that is the closest match to
color <i>color</i>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="handle" />int QGLColormap.handle (<i>self</i>)</h3><h3 class="fn"><a name="isEmpty" />bool QGLColormap.isEmpty (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns true if the colormap is empty or it is not in use by a
<a href="qglwidget.html">QGLWidget</a>; otherwise returns
false.</p>
<p>A colormap with no color values set is considered to be empty.
For historical reasons, a colormap that has color values set but
which is not in use by a <a href="qglwidget.html">QGLWidget</a> is
also considered empty.</p>
<p>Compare <a href="qglcolormap.html#size">size</a>() with zero to
determine if the colormap is empty regardless of whether it is in
use by a <a href="qglwidget.html">QGLWidget</a> or not.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qglcolormap.html#size">size</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setEntries" />QGLColormap.setEntries (<i>self</i>, list-of-int <i>colors</i>, int <i>base</i> = 0)</h3><p>Set an array of cells in this colormap. <i>count</i> is the
number of colors that should be set, <i>colors</i> is the array of
colors, and <i>base</i> is the starting index. The first element in
<i>colors</i> is set at <i>base</i> in the colormap.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setEntry" />QGLColormap.setEntry (<i>self</i>, int <i>idx</i>, int <i>color</i>)</h3><p>Set cell at index <i>idx</i> in the colormap to color
<i>color</i>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setEntry-2" />QGLColormap.setEntry (<i>self</i>, int <i>idx</i>, <a href="qcolor.html">QColor</a> <i>color</i>)</h3><p>This is an overloaded function.</p>
<p>Set the cell with index <i>idx</i> in the colormap to color
<i>color</i>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setHandle" />QGLColormap.setHandle (<i>self</i>, int <i>ahandle</i>)</h3><h3 class="fn"><a name="size" />int QGLColormap.size (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the number of colorcells in the colormap.</p>
