awesome/lib/gears/color.lua

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- This module simplifies the creation of cairo pattern objects.
--
-- In most places in awesome where a color is needed, the provided argument is
-- passed to @{gears.color}, which actually calls @{create_pattern} and creates
-- a pattern from a given string or table.
--
-- This function can create solid, linear, radial and png patterns.
--
-- A simple example for a solid pattern is a hexadecimal color specification.
-- For example `#ff8000` creates a solid pattern with 100% red, 50% green and 0%
-- blue. Limited support for named colors (`red`) is also provided.
--
-- In general, patterns are specified as strings formatted as
-- `"type:arguments"`. `"arguments"` is specific to the pattern being used. For
-- example, one can use:
--     "radial:50,50,10:55,55,30:0,#ff0000:0.5,#00ff00:1,#0000ff"
-- The above will call @{create_radial_pattern} with the provided string, after
-- stripping the `radial:` prefix.
--
-- Alternatively, patterns can be specified via tables. In this case, the
-- table's 'type' member specifies the type. For example:
--     {
--       type = "radial",
--       from = { 50, 50, 10 },
--       to = { 55, 55, 30 },
--       stops = { { 0, "#ff0000" }, { 0.5, "#00ff00" }, { 1, "#0000ff" } }
--     }
-- Any argument that cannot be understood is passed to @{create_solid_pattern}.
--
-- Please note that you MUST NOT modify the returned pattern, for example by
-- calling :set_matrix() on it, because this function uses a cache and your
-- changes could thus have unintended side effects. Use @{create_pattern_uncached}
-- if you need to modify the returned pattern.
-- @see create_pattern_uncached, create_solid_pattern, create_png_pattern,
--   create_linear_pattern, create_radial_pattern
-- @tparam string col The string describing the pattern.
-- @return a cairo pattern object
