A Pure-Python implementation of the colour chooser dialog.

The PyColourChooser is a pure python implementation of the colour
chooser dialog. It's useful for embedding the colour choosing functionality
inside other widgets, when the pop-up dialog is undesirable. It can also
be used as a drop-in replacement on the GTK platform, as the native
dialog is kind of ugly.

.. class:: PyColourChooser(wx.Panel)

   A Pure-Python implementation of the colour chooser dialog.
   
   The PyColourChooser is a pure python implementation of the colour
   chooser dialog. It's useful for embedding the colour choosing functionality
   inside other widgets, when the pop-up dialog is undesirable. It can also
   be used as a drop-in replacement on the GTK platform, as the native
   dialog is kind of ugly.

   .. method:: __init__(self, parent, id)

      Creates an instance of the colour chooser. Note that it is best to
      accept the given size of the colour chooser as it is currently not
      resizeable.


   .. method:: colourToHSV(self, colour)

      Convert wx.Colour to hsv triplet


   .. method:: doPaletteClick(self, m_x, m_y)

      Updates the colour values based on the mouse location
      over the palette.


   .. method:: getColourFromControls(self)

      Calculate current colour from HS box position and V slider.
      return - wx.Colour


   .. method:: GetValue(self)

      Returns a wxColour object indicating the current colour choice.


   .. method:: getValueAsFloat(self, textctrl)

      If you type garbage, you get, literally, nothing (0)


   .. method:: getVFromSlider(self)

      Get the current value of "V" from the v slider.

   .. method:: onBasicClick(self, event, box)

      Highlights the selected colour box and updates the solid colour
      display and colour slider to reflect the choice.


   .. method:: onColourSliderClick(self, y)

      Shared helper for onSliderDown()/onSliderMotion()


   .. method:: onCustomClick(self, event, box)

      Highlights the selected custom colour box and updates the solid
      colour display and colour slider to reflect the choice.


   .. method:: onHSVKillFocus(self, event)


   .. method:: onPaletteCaptureLost(self, event)


   .. method:: onPaletteDown(self, event)

      Stores state that the mouse has been pressed and updates
      the selected colour values.


   .. method:: onPaletteMotion(self, event)

      Updates the colour values during mouse motion while the
      mouse button is depressed.


   .. method:: onPaletteUp(self, event)

   .. method:: onSliderUp(self, event)


   .. method:: setCustomColour (self, index, true_colour, base_colour, slidepos)

      Sets the custom colour at the given index. true_colour is wxColour
      object containing the actual rgb value of the custom colour.
      base_colour (wxColour) and slidepos (int) are used to configure the
      colour slider and set everything to its original position.


   .. method:: setSliderToV(self, v)

      Set a new HSV value for the v slider. Does not update displayed colour.


   .. method:: SetValue(self, colour)

      Updates the colour chooser to reflect the given wxColour.
