The JColorChooser Class

Properties

In addition to the typical UI properties of Swing components, the color chooser has the following properties listed in Table 12.6. The chooserPanels property contains an array of all the chooser panels currently associated with this color chooser. You can get and set the entire array at once or, more commonly, you can add and remove chooser panels using some of the methods described later. The color property contains the currently selected color in the chooser. The previewPanel property contains the JComponent subclass that previews your color choice. (You can see an example of the default preview panel in Figure 12.7.) The selectionModel property dictates which selection model the chooser uses.
