Member Function Documentation

unsigned libthrowable::ColoredString::getFgColor (  )  const throw () [inline]

unsigned libthrowable::ColoredString::getBgColor (  )  const throw () [inline]

bool libthrowable::ColoredString::hasColor (  )  const throw ()

Checks whether the color is valid.

Invalid colors are colors that don't exist, for example something like

 ColoredString str("foo", 666, 666);
will yield an invalid color. Also, a color like is not considered a color, because it does not change the output in any way.

static void libthrowable::ColoredString::disable ( bool  arg = true  )  throw () [inline, static]

Disables any colored output.
