Interface IColorManager


public interface IColorManager

Manages SWT color objects for the given color keys and given RGB objects. Until the dispose method is called, the same color object is returned for equal keys and equal RGB values.

In order to provide backward compatibility for clients of IColorManager, extension interfaces are used to provide a means of evolution. The following extension interfaces exist:

This interface may be implemented by clients.

Provisional API: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
