<function name="SetBaseRGB" parent="DColorCube" type="panelfunc"> <description> An <page>Global.AccessorFunc</page> that sets the base color and the color used to draw the color cube panel itself. <note>Calling this when using a color that isn't 100% saturated and valued (<page>Global.HSVToColor</page> with saturation and value set to 1) causes the color cube to look inaccurate compared to the color that's returned by methods like <page>DColorCube:GetRGB</page> and <page>DColorCube:OnUserChanged</page>. You should use <page>DColorCube:SetColor</page> instead</note> </description> <realm>Client and Menu</realm> <file line="5">lua/vgui/dcolorcube.lua</file> <file line="107-L112">lua/vgui/dcolorcube.lua</file> <args> <arg name="color" type="table">The base color to set, uses <page>Color</page>.</arg> </args> </function> <example> <description>Creates a background panel and color cube that controls the background color. Demonstrates how setting the base RGB explicitly can cause a disconnect between the color represented by the cube and the color output.</description> <code> -- Background panel BGPanel = vgui.Create("DPanel") BGPanel:SetSize(200, 200) BGPanel:Center() -- Color cube local color_cube = vgui.Create("DColorCube", BGPanel) color_cube:SetSize(180, 180) color_cube:Center() -- Base color set to white color_cube:SetBaseRGB(Color(255, 255, 255)) -- Called when the color is changed by user input function color_cube:OnUserChanged(col) -- Update background panel color BGPanel:SetBackgroundColor(col) end </code> <output> Notice how the output/background color doesn't match the color where the slider is positioned. <image src="DColorCube_SetBaseRGB_example1.png"/> </output> </example>
