Properties

COLOURS

static

non-null Array of string

An array of colour strings for the palette. Copied from goog.ui.ColorPicker.SIMPLE_GRID_COLORS All colour pickers use this unless overridden with setColours.

COLUMNS

static

Number of columns in the palette. All colour pickers use this unless overridden with setColumns.

TITLES

static

non-null Array of string

An array of tooltip strings for the palette. If not the same length as COLOURS, the colour's hex code will be used for any missing titles. All colour pickers use this unless overridden with setColours.

CURSOR

Inherited from: Blockly.Field#EDITABLE

fieldGroup_

unknown

Inherited from: Blockly.Field#fieldGroup_

getText_

protected

A developer hook to override the returned text of this field. Override if the text representation of the value of this field is not just a string cast of its value.

Inherited from: Blockly.Field#getText_
Returns: Current text. Return null to resort to a string cast.

isDirty_

name

unknown

Name of field. Unique within each block. Static labels are usually unnamed.

Inherited from: Blockly.Field#name

unknown

The size of the area rendered by the field.

Inherited from: Blockly.FieldColour#size_

sourceBlock_

protected

unknown

Block this field is attached to. Starts as null, then set in init.
