ColorPickerButton
=================

**Inherits:** :ref:`Button<class_Button>` **<** :ref:`BaseButton<class_BaseButton>` **<** :ref:`Control<class_Control>` **<** :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A button that brings up a :ref:`ColorPicker<class_ColorPicker>` when pressed.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

Encapsulates a :ref:`ColorPicker<class_ColorPicker>`, making it accessible by pressing a button. Pressing the button will toggle the :ref:`ColorPicker<class_ColorPicker>`'s visibility.

See also :ref:`BaseButton<class_BaseButton>` which contains common properties and methods associated with this node.

\ **Note:** By default, the button may not be wide enough for the color preview swatch to be visible. Make sure to set :ref:`Control.custom_minimum_size<class_Control_property_custom_minimum_size>` to a big enough value to give the button enough space.
