OPERATORS
Summary
METHODS
new(r,g,b,a)
r, g, b, a are given on [0, 1].
my $c = new Math::ColorRGBA;
my $c2 = new Math::ColorRGBA(0, 0.5, 1, 0);
my $c3 = new Math::ColorRGBA([0, 0.5, 1, 1]);
copy
Makes a copy
$c2 = $c1->copy;
setValue(r,g,b,a)
Sets the value of the color. r, g, b, a are given on [0, 1].
$c1->setValue(0, 0.2, 1, 0);
setRGB
Sets the value of the color from a 3 component array ref ie. (Math::Color).
$c4->setRGB(new Math::Color(0.1,0.2,0.3));
setRed(r)
Sets the first value of the color r is given on [0, 1].
$c1->setRed(1);
setGreen(g)
Sets the second value of the color. g is given on [0, 1].
$c1->setGreen(0.2);
setBlue(b)
Sets the third value of the color. b is given on [0, 1].
$c1->setZ(0.3);
setAlpha(alpha)
Sets the fourth value of the color. a is given on [0, 1].
$v1->setAlpha(1);
getValue
Returns the value of the color (r, g, b, a) as a 4 components array.
@v = $c1->getValue;
getRGB
Returns the rgb value of the color (r, g, b) as color (Math::Color).
$c = $c4->getRGB;
getRed
Returns the first value of the color.
$r = $c1->getRed;
getGreen
Returns the second value of the color.
$g = $c1->getGreen;
getBlue
Returns the third value of the color.
$b = $c1->getBlue;
getAlpha
Returns the fourth value of the color.
$a = $v1->getAlpha;
setHSV(h,s,v,a)
h is given on [0, 2 PI]. s, v are given on [0, 1].
$c->setHSV(1/12,1,1); # 1 0.5 0
$c->setHSV(h,s,v);
$c->setHSV(h,s,v,a);
getHSV
h is in [0, 2 PI]. s, v are each returned on [0, 1].
@hsv = $c->getHSV;
inverse
Returns the inverse of the color. Inverses the RGB components. Alpha is left unchanged. This is used to overload the '~' operator.
$v = new Math::ColorRGBA(0, 0.1, 1, 0.123);
$v = $v1->inverse; # 1 0.9 0 0.123
$v = ~$v1; # 1 0.9 0 0.123
add(Math::ColorRGBA)
Adds the RGB components. Alpha is taken from the first color.
$v = $v1->add($v2);
$v = $v1 + $v2;
$v = [0.8, 0.2, 0.4, 0.1] + $v1;
$v1 += $v2;
subtract(Math::ColorRGBA)
Subtracts the RGB components of the two colors. Alpha is taken from the first color.
$v = $v1->subtract($v2);
$v = $v1 - $v2;
$v = [0.8, 0.2, 0.4, 0.2] - $v1;
$v1 -= $v2;
multiply(Math::ColorRGBA or scalar)
This is used to overload the '*' operator. Multiplies the RGB components. Alpha is left unchanged.
$v = $v1 * 2;
$v = $v1 * [0.3, 0.5, 0.4, 0.2];
$v = [0.8, 0.2, 0.4, 0.2] * $v1;
$v = $v1 * $v1;
$v1 *= 2;
$v = $v1->multiply(2);
divide(Math::ColorRGBA or scalar)
Divides the RGB components. Alpha is left unchanged. This is used to overload the '/' operator.
$v = $v1 / 2;
$v1 /= 2;
$v = $v1 / [0.3, 0.7, 0.4, 0.2];
$v = [0.8, 0.2, 0.4, 0.2] / $v1;
$v = $v1 / $v1;
$v = $v1->divide(2);
toString
Returns a string representation of the color. This is used to overload the '""' operator, so that color may be freely interpolated in strings.
my $c = new Math::ColorRGBA(0.1, 0.2, 0.3);
print $c->toString; # "0.1, 0.2, 0.3"
print "$c"; # "0.1, 0.2, 0.3"
