Line, Fill, and Color

Many functions and methods in pyqtgraph accept arguments specifying the line style (pen), fill style (brush), or color.

For these function arguments, the following values may be used:

• single-character string representing color (b, g, r, c, m, y, k, w)
• (r, g, b) or (r, g, b, a) tuple
• single greyscale value (0.0 - 1.0)
• (index, maximum) tuple for automatically iterating through colors (see functions.intColor)
• QColor
• QPen / QBrush where appropriate

Notably, more complex pens and brushes can be easily built using the mkPen() / mkBrush() functions or with Qt’s QPen and QBrush classes.

Colors can also be built using mkColor(), intColor(), hsvColor(), or Qt’s QColor class
