public class ColorStringParser

extends StringParser

A StringParser for parsing java.awt.Color objects. Color information can be specified in a variety of formats:

• RGB, as integers in the range 0-255, separated by commas (e.g., "123,45,6")
• RGB, as floats in the range 0.0-1.0, separated by commas (e.g., "0.123,0.45,0.6")
• RGB, as hexadecimal strings following the '#' character (e.g., "#1234ef")
• By name, as matching the names of the color fields of java.awt.Color (case-insensitive). (e.g., "black")
• RGBAlpha, as integers in the range 0-255, separated by commas (e.g., "123,45,6,128")
• RGBAlpha, as floats in the range 0.0-1.0, separated by commas (e.g., "0.123,0.45,0.6,.5")
• RGBAlpha, as hexadecimal strings following the '#' character (e.g., "#1234efab")

If the specified argument does not match any of these formats, a ParseException is thrown.
