# tk common color chooser dialogue

#
# this module provides an interface to the native color dialogue
# available in Tk 4.2 and newer.
#
# written by Fredrik Lundh, May 1997
#
# fixed initialcolor handling in August 1998
#

#
# options (all have default values):
#
# - initialcolor: color to mark as selected when dialog is displayed
# (given as an RGB triplet or a Tk color string)
#
# - parent: which window to place the dialog on top of
#
# - title: dialog title
#

# an RGB tuple together with the Tk color string
