color#

Initializing the color Class #

A color is created by using one of the following constructors:

The color(r, g, b) constructor creates a color using rgb values:

Parameter	Description
r	An integer in the range 0 to 255 representing the red value.
g	An integer in the range 0 to 255 representing the green value.
b	An integer in the range 0 to 255 representing the blue value.

// Construct a yellow color "Yellow" with the color class 
// using rgb values.
color Yellow = color(255, 247, 0);

The color(value) constructor creates a color using rgb values:

Parameter	Description
value	A Hexcode or a predefined ColorType.

// Construct a yellow Color "yellow" with the Color class 
// using a Hexcode.
color Yellow = color(0xFFF700);

// Construct a yellow Color "yellow" with the Color class 
// using a predefined color.
color Yellow = color(yellow);

This Yellow object will be used in all subsequent examples throughout this API documentation when referring to Color class methods.

The hsv(hue, saturation, value) method changes the existing color instance using hsv.

Parameters	Description
hue	An integer from 0 - 360 that represents the hue of the color.
saturation	A double from 0.0 - 1.0 that represents the saturation of the color.
value	A double from 0.0 - 1.0 that represents the brightness of the color.

Returns: An integer value representing the color.

// Change Yellow to a color that is red using HSV values.
Yellow.hsv(0, 1.0, 1.0);

The web(value) method changes the existing color instance using webstring.

Parameters	Description
value	The color value in web format.

Returns: An integer value representing the color.

// Change Yellow to a color that is red using a Hexcode.
Yellow.web("#ff0000");

The isTransparent() method returns if the color is transparent or not.

Returns: true if the color is transparent. false if it is not.

The Color.web(color) command creates a color using a hexadecimal value.

This is a non-blocking command and allows the next command to run without delay.

Parameters	Description
color	A hexadecimal or web color value that defines a specific color.

Returns: A reference to the new color.

// Create a color using a web color value.
Color color;
color.web("#00FF00");  // Green color
