CGAL::Color Class Reference

#include <CGAL/IO/Color.h>

Definition

An object of the class Color is a color available for drawing operations in many CGAL output streams.

Each color is defined by a 4 unsigned chars (r,g,b,a) with 0 \(\le\) r,g,b,a \( \le \) 255, the so-called rgba-value of the color.

The alpha parameter (representing transparency) is often ignored and left to its default value (255 = no transparency), which is why we often refer to the rgb-value of the color.

Creation

 Color ()
 creates a color with rgba-value (0,0,0,255), i.e. black.
 
 Color (unsigned char red, unsigned char green, unsigned char blue, unsigned char alpha=255)
 creates a color with rgba-value (red,green,blue,alpha).
 

Component Access

unsigned char red () const
 returns the red component.
 
unsigned char & red ()
 returns a reference on the red component.
 
unsigned char green () const
 returns the green component.
 
unsigned char & green ()

Array Access

unsigned char operator[] (std::size_t i) const
 returns the \(i^{th}\) component of the rgb color (the \(0^{th}\) is red, the \(1^{st}\) is blue, etc.).
 
unsigned char & operator[] (std::size_t i)
 returns a reference on the \(i^{th}\) component of c (the \(0^{th}\) is red, the \(1^{st}\) is blue, etc.).
 
const std::array< unsigned char, 4 > & to_rgba () const
 returns the array with rgba values.
 
const std::array< unsigned char, 3 > & to_rgb () const

◆ set_hsv()

void CGAL::Color::set_hsv ( double  hue,
double  saturation,
double  value,
unsigned char  alpha = 255 
)

replaces the rgb values of the colors by the conversion to rgb of the hsv values given as parameters.

Double values given as parameters should take range between 0 and 1.
