Datatype color
A color consists of four floating point numbers: It contains the red, green and blue parts
of a color. The fourth component is used to store the opacity (alpha value) of the color.
There is no "color constant" in ChaosPro: In order to create and assign colors you can use
one of several functions which return colors:
- rgb - lets you create a color by specifying the red, green and blue part.
- rgba - lets you create a color by specifying the red, green, blue and alpha part.
- hsl - lets you create a color by specifying its hue, saturation and luminance
- hsla - lets you create a color by specifying its hue, saturation, luminance and alpha
- gradient - lets you extract a color from the current gradient, i.e. the color path defined by the current palette.
Examples
color c1,c2; c1 = rgb(0.3,1.0,0.3); // Assigns a color to c1 c2 = gradient(0.3); // Extracts the color at position 0.3 from the current gradient
Colors are internally stored as four floating point numbers which use the 32 bit IEEE single precision format.
