Detailed Description

Utility class for manipulating RGBA colors.

sf::Color is a simple color class composed of 4 components:

  • Red
  • Green
  • Blue
  • Alpha (opacity)

Each component is a public member, an unsigned integer in the range [0, 255]. Thus, colors can be constructed and manipulated very easily:

sf::Color color(255, 0, 0); // red
color.r = 0; // make it black
color.b = 128; // make it dark blue
Utility class for manipulating RGBA colors.
Definition Color.hpp:40

The fourth component of colors, named "alpha", represents the opacity of the color. A color with an alpha value of 255 will be fully opaque, while an alpha value of 0 will make a color fully transparent, whatever the value of the other components is.

The most common colors are already defined as static variables:

static const Color Red
Red predefined color.
Definition Color.hpp:84
static const Color White
White predefined color.
Definition Color.hpp:83
static const Color Transparent
Transparent (black) predefined color.
Definition Color.hpp:90
static const Color Cyan
Cyan predefined color.
Definition Color.hpp:89
static const Color Magenta
Magenta predefined color.
Definition Color.hpp:88
static const Color Black
Black predefined color.
Definition Color.hpp:82
static const Color Green
Green predefined color.
Definition Color.hpp:85
static const Color Blue
Blue predefined color.
Definition Color.hpp:86
static const Color Yellow
Yellow predefined color.
Definition Color.hpp:87

Colors can also be added and modulated (multiplied) using the overloaded operators + and *.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Color() [1/3]

sf::Color::Color ( )
constexprdefault

Default constructor.

Constructs an opaque black color. It is equivalent to sf::Color(0, 0, 0, 255).

◆ Color() [2/3]

sf::Color::Color ( std::uint8_t red,
std::uint8_t green,
std::uint8_t blue,
std::uint8_t alpha = 255 )
constexpr

Construct the color from its 4 RGBA components.

Parameters
redRed component (in the range [0, 255])
greenGreen component (in the range [0, 255])
blueBlue component (in the range [0, 255])
alphaAlpha (opacity) component (in the range [0, 255])

◆ Color() [3/3]

sf::Color::Color ( std::uint32_t color)
explicitconstexpr

Construct the color from 32-bit unsigned integer.

Parameters
colorNumber containing the RGBA components (in that order)

Member Function Documentation

◆ toInteger()

std::uint32_t sf::Color::toInteger ( ) const
nodiscardconstexpr

Retrieve the color as a 32-bit unsigned integer.

Returns
Color represented as a 32-bit unsigned integer

Friends And Related Symbol Documentation

◆ operator!=()

bool operator!= ( Color left,
Color right )
related

Overload of the operator!=

This operator compares two colors and check if they are different.

Parameters
leftLeft operand
rightRight operand
Returns
true if colors are different, false if they are equal

◆ operator*()

Color operator* ( Color left,
Color right )
related

Overload of the binary operator*

This operator returns the component-wise multiplication (also called "modulation") of two colors. Components are then divided by 255 so that the result is still in the range [0, 255].

Parameters
leftLeft operand
rightRight operand
Returns
Result of left * right

◆ operator*=()

Color & operator*= ( Color & left,
Color right )
related

Overload of the binary operator*=

This operator returns the component-wise multiplication (also called "modulation") of two colors, and assigns the result to the left operand. Components are then divided by 255 so that the result is still in the range [0, 255].

Parameters
leftLeft operand
rightRight operand
Returns
Reference to left

◆ operator+()

Color operator+ ( Color left,
Color right )
related

Overload of the binary operator+

This operator returns the component-wise sum of two colors. Components that exceed 255 are clamped to 255.

Parameters
leftLeft operand
rightRight operand
Returns
Result of left + right

◆ operator+=()

Color & operator+= ( Color & left,
Color right )
related

Overload of the binary operator+=

This operator computes the component-wise sum of two colors, and assigns the result to the left operand. Components that exceed 255 are clamped to 255.

Parameters
leftLeft operand
rightRight operand
Returns
Reference to left

◆ operator-()

Color operator- ( Color left,
Color right )
related

Overload of the binary operator-

This operator returns the component-wise subtraction of two colors. Components below 0 are clamped to 0.

Parameters
leftLeft operand
rightRight operand
Returns
Result of left - right

◆ operator-=()

Color & operator-= ( Color & left,
Color right )
related

Overload of the binary operator-=

This operator computes the component-wise subtraction of two colors, and assigns the result to the left operand. Components below 0 are clamped to 0.

Parameters
leftLeft operand
rightRight operand
Returns
Reference to left

◆ operator==()

bool operator== ( Color left,
Color right )
related

Overload of the operator==

This operator compares two colors and check if they are equal.

Parameters
leftLeft operand
rightRight operand
Returns
true if colors are equal, false if they are different
