Colour Manager

The Colour Manager

• The colour manager is defined by colorm.cpp
• It's called by scribus.cpp as follows:

ColorManager* dia = new ColorManager(this, edc, doc, prefsManager->colorSetName(), prefsManager->appPrefs.CustomColorSets);

• The constructors parameters are named as:
  • QWidget* parent = this (cannot be used outside of the constructor)
  • ColorList EditColors = doco = edc = (HaveDoc ? doc->PageColors : prefsManager->colorSet())
  • ScribusDoc* m_Doc = doc
  • QString* docColSet = prefsManager->colorSetName() (cannot be used outside of the constructor)
  • QStringList customColSet = custColSet = prefsManager->appPrefs.CustomColorSets
• The list of colours are read by the colour manager from the palettes and written to a m_Doc property.
• The list of used colors can be read throug void m_Doc->getUsedColor(& ColorList &colorsToUse, bool spot)

Implementing the possibility to hide unused colours

Adding a preference field

• Add a property in prefsmanager.h
• Add a method for reading and one for writing it in prefsmanager.cpp

Setting the preference from the Colour Management Dialog

• Set the prefsManager as a local variable
• Add a checkbox to the dialog
• Read and set the preference
• "Notify" the strings that are to be translated
• Correctly filter the list according to the preference

Filter out the hidden colours in every colour list

• Find all the colour lists
• Check if the unused are to be shown, and if not, don't show them (probably, through asking m_Doc->getUsedColor()
