Summary

Returns color aliases containing a given string.

Package

color

Signature

apropos-color-alias-names substring => list

Arguments

substring

A string.

Values

list

A list of symbols.

Description

Returns a list of symbols whose symbol-names contain substring and which are defined as aliases in the color-database defining color aliases. By convention these are in the keyword package.

Example

In this example, a color alias is defined for the color indianred1 . apropos-color-alias-names only returns this alias, rather than both the alias and the original color, despite the similarity in the names.

COLOR 8 > (define-color-alias :myindianred1 

                              :indianred1)

(#S(COLOR-ALIAS COLOR :INDIANRED1))

COLOR 9 > (apropos-color-names "INDIANRED1")

(:INDIANRED1 :MYINDIANRED1)

COLOR 10 > (apropos-color-alias-names "INDIANRED1")

(:MYINDIANRED1)

COLOR 11 >
