    <title>Description</title>

    <para>A <link
linkend="class-gdkcolormap"><classname>gtk.gdk.Colormap</classname></link>
contains a table mapping index values to the RGB color component values used
to display the colors. The index value corresponds to the pixel value of a
<link linkend="class-gdkcolor"><classname>gtk.gdk.Color</classname></link>
object and the RGB component values correspond to the <link
linkend="class-gdkcolor"><classname>gtk.gdk.Color</classname></link> red,
green and blue values. The <link
linkend="method-gtkwidget--get-colormap"><methodname>gtk.Widget.get_colormap</methodname>()</link> 
method is used to retrieve the colormap used by a widget. The default system
colormap is retrieved by using the <link
linkend="function-gdk--colormap-get-system"><methodname>gtk.gdk.colormap_get_system</methodname>()</link> 
function. The <link
linkend="method-gdkcolormap--alloc-color"><methodname>alloc_color</methodname>()</link> 
method has three signatures to allow the color specification using an
unallocated <link
linkend="class-gdkcolor"><classname>gtk.gdk.Color</classname></link>, a
string or a RGB trio.</para>

      <para>The <methodname>alloc_color</methodname>() method allocates the
color specified by <parameter>spec</parameter> in the colormap. The format
of <parameter>spec</parameter> is a string containing the specification of
the color either as a name (e.g. "navajowhite") as specified in the X11
<filename>rgb.txt</filename> file or as a hexadecimal string (e.g.
"#FF0078"). The hexadecimal string must start with '#' and must contain 3
sets of hexadecimal digits of the same length (i.e. 1, 2 ,3 or 4 digits).
For example the following specify the same color value: "#F0A", "#FF00AA",
"#FFF000AAA" and "#FFFF0000AAAA". If <parameter>writeable</parameter> is
<literal>True</literal> the color is allocated writeable which means it can
be changed after allocation but cannot be shared with another application.
If <parameter>best_match</parameter> is <literal>True</literal> the closest
match to the color will be returned if the request could not be satisfied
exactly.</para>

      <para>The <methodname>query_color</methodname>() method returns the
<link linkend="class-gdkcolor"><classname>gtk.gdk.Color</classname></link>
corresponding to the hardware pixel value specified by
<parameter>pixel</parameter>. <parameter>pixel</parameter> must be a valid
pixel in the colormap. It's a programmer error to call this method with a
pixel which is not in the colormap. Hardware pixels are normally obtained
from the <link
linkend="method-gdkcolormap--alloc-color"><methodname>alloc_color</methodname>()</link>
method, or from a <link
linkend="class-gdkimage"><classname>gtk.gdk.Image</classname></link>
object. (A <link
linkend="class-gdkimage"><classname>gtk.gdk.Image</classname></link>
contains image data in hardware format while a <link
linkend="class-gdkpixbuf"><classname>gtk.gdk.Pixbuf</classname></link>
contains image data in a canonical 24-bit RGB format.)</para>
