Palette

This simple custom widget accepts a list of colours when created, and presents these colours as an array of coloured buttons to click. Clicking on a button emits a signal with the clicked colour. Perfect to use in a bitmap drawing application.

Three widgets are provided —

PaletteHorizontal a linear horizontal palette

Signals

The palette provides only a single signal .selected which is emitted when a colour is selected in the palette. This sends the selected colour, in the same format as it was when setting the palette.

palette = PaletteHorizontal(['#000003', '#160B39', '#410967'])
palette.selected.connect(print)

The above would print to the console #000003 or #160B39 or #410967 as each colour was clicked.
