Retrieves the general/main color of the given Evas object.

Retrieves the “main” color's RGB component (and alpha channel) values, which range from 0 to 255. For the alpha channel, which defines the object's transparency level, 0 means totally transparent, while 255 means opaque. These color values are premultiplied by the alpha value.

Usually you’ll use this attribute for text and rectangle objects, where the “main” color is their unique one. If set for objects which themselves have colors, like the images one, those colors get modulated by this one.

Note:

All newly created Evas rectangles get the default color values of 255 255 255 255 (opaque white).

Use NULL pointers on the components you're not interested in: they'll be ignored by the function.

Example:

        int alpha, r, g, b;

        evas_object_color_get(d.clipper, &r, &g, &b, &alpha);
        evas_color_argb_unpremul(alpha, &r, &g, &b);

        alpha -= 20;
        if (alpha < 0)
          alpha = 255;

        evas_color_argb_premul(alpha, &r, &g, &b);
        evas_object_color_set(d.clipper, r, g, b, alpha);

        printf("Changing clipper's opacity: %d%%\n",
                (int)((alpha / 255.0) * 100));
        return;

Parameters:

[out]	r	The red component of the given color.
[out]	g	The green component of the given color.
[out]	b	The blue component of the given color.
[out]	a	The alpha component of the given color.

Marks the given Evas object for deletion (when Evas will free its memory).

Parameters:

obj	The given Evas object.

This call will mark obj for deletion, which will take place whenever it has no more references to it (see evas_object_ref() and evas_object_unref()).

At actual deletion time, which may or may not be just after this call, ::EVAS_CALLBACK_DEL and ::EVAS_CALLBACK_FREE callbacks will be called. If the object currently had the focus, its ::EVAS_CALLBACK_FOCUS_OUT callback will also be called.

Parameters:

obj	The given Evas object.
x	Pointer to an integer in which to store the X coordinate of the object.
y	Pointer to an integer in which to store the Y coordinate of the object.
w	Pointer to an integer in which to store the width of the object.

The position, naturally, will be relative to the top left corner of the canvas' viewport.

x	X position to move the object to, in canvas units.
y	Y position to move the object to, in canvas units.
w	The new width of the Evas object.
h	The new height of the Evas object.

The position, naturally, will be relative to the top left corner of the canvas' viewport.

If the object get moved, the object's ::EVAS_CALLBACK_MOVE callback will be called.

If the object get resized, the object's ::EVAS_CALLBACK_RESIZE callback will be called.

Makes the given Evas object invisible.

Parameters:

obj	The given Evas object.

Hidden objects, besides not being shown at all in your canvas, won't be checked for changes on the canvas rendering process. Furthermore, they will not catch input events. Thus, they are much ligher (in processing needs) than an object that is invisible due to indirect causes, such as being clipped or out of the canvas' viewport.

Besides becoming hidden, obj object's ::EVAS_CALLBACK_SHOW callback will be called.

Note:

All objects are created in the hidden state! If you want them shown, use evas_object_show() after their creation.

Example:

        if (evas_object_visible_get(d.clipper))

Retrieves the object from children of the given object with the given name.

This looks for the evas object given a name by evas_object_name_set, but it ONLY looks at the children of the object *p obj, and will only recurse into those children if recurse is greater than 0. If the name is not unique within immediate children (or the whole child tree) then it is not defined which child object will be returned. If recurse is set to -1 then it will recurse without limit.

Parameters:

[in]	name	The given name.
[in]	recurse	Set to the number of child levels to recurse (0 == don't recurse, 1 == only look at the children of obj or their immediate children, but no further etc.).

Returns:

The Evas object with the given name on success, Otherwise null.

Increments object reference count to defer its deletion.

Parameters:

obj	The given Evas object to reference

This increments the reference count of an object, which if greater than 0 will defer deletion by evas_object_del() until all references are released back (counter back to 0). References cannot go below 0 and unreferencing past that will result in the reference count being limited to 0. References are limited to 2^32 - 1 for an object. Referencing it more than this will result in it being limited to this value.

See also:

evas_object_unref()

evas_object_del()

Note:

This is a very simple reference counting mechanism! For instance, Evas is not ready to check for pending references on a canvas deletion, or things like that. This is useful on scenarios where, inside a code block, callbacks exist which would possibly delete an object we are operating on afterwards. Then, one would evas_object_ref() it on the beginning of the block and evas_object_unref() it on the end. It would then be deleted at this point, if it should be.

Example:

  evas_object_ref(obj);

  // action here...
  evas_object_smart_callback_call(obj, SIG_SELECTED, NULL);
  // more action here...
  evas_object_unref(obj);

Get the object reference count.

Parameters:
