- 18 constants
Constants
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| NSCalibratedBlackColorSpace | "NSCalibratedBlackColorSpace" |
Calibrated color space with black and alpha components (pure black is 1.0)
Deprecated in Mac OS X v10.6. Example |
| NSCalibratedRGBColorSpace | "NSCalibratedRGBColorSpace" |
Calibrated color space with red, green, blue, and alpha components.
You can also create a color with HSB (hue, saturation, brightness) and alpha components and can extract these components. Example |
| NSCalibratedWhiteColorSpace | "NSCalibratedWhiteColorSpace" | Calibrated color space with white and alpha components (pure white is 1.0) Example |
| NSCMYKColorSpaceModel | 2 |
The CYMK (cyan, yellow, magenta, black) color-space model.
Can refer to both device-dependent and generic color space variants. Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later. Example |
| NSCustomColorSpace | "NSCustomColorSpace" |
Custom NSColorSpace object and floating-point components describing a color in that space.
A custom color-space object represents a color space that is not necessarily predefined by the Application Kit. See "Working With Color Spaces" for information on creating custom color-space objects. |
| NSDeviceBlackColorSpace | "NSDeviceBlackColorSpace" | Device-dependent color space with black and alpha components (pure black is 1.0) Example |
| NSDeviceCMYKColorSpace | "NSDeviceCMYKColorSpace" | Device-dependent color space with cyan, magenta, yellow, black, and alpha components. Example |
| NSDeviceNColorSpaceModel | 4 |
DeviceN is a color-space model from Adobe Systems, Inc. used in PostScript and PDF color specification.
Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later. Example |
| NSDeviceRGBColorSpace | "NSDeviceRGBColorSpace" |
Device-dependent color space with red, green, blue, and alpha components.
You can also create a color with HSB (hue, saturation, brightness) and alpha components and can extract these components. Example |
| NSDeviceWhiteColorSpace | "NSDeviceWhiteColorSpace" | Device-dependent color space with white and alpha components (pure white is 1.0) Example |
| NSGrayColorSpaceModel | 0 |
The grayscale color-space model. Can refer to both device-dependent and generic color space variants.
Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later. Example |
| NSIndexedColorSpaceModel | 5 |
An indexed color space, which identifies specified discrete colors in a color list by index number.
An indexed color value (a color specification in indexed color space) consists of an index value that refers to a color in a color list. Available in Mac OS X version 10.5 and later. Example |
| NSLABColorSpaceModel | 3 |
The L*a*b* device-independent color-space model, which represents colors relative to a reference white point.
Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later. Example |
| NSNamedColorSpace | "NSNamedColorSpace" |
Catalog name and color name components.
The components of this color space are indexes into lists or catalogs of prepared colors. The catalogs of named colors come with lookup tables that are able to generate the correct color on a given device. |
| NSPatternColorSpace | "NSPatternColorSpace" |
Pattern image (tiled)
Identifies a pattern color space, which is simply an image that is repeated over and over again in a tiled pattern. |
| NSPatternColorSpaceModel | 6 |
Identifies a pattern color space, which is simply an image that is repeated over and over again in a tiled pattern.
Available in Mac OS X version 10.5 and later. Example |
| NSRGBColorSpaceModel | 1 |
The RGB (red green blue) color-space model.
Can refer to both device-dependent and generic color space variants. Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later. Example |
| NSUnknownColorSpaceModel | -1 |
This model is not known to NSColorSpace.
Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later. |
