Convert::Color::RGB(3)User Contributed Perl DocumentatioConvert::Color::RGB(3)

NAME
       "Convert::Color::RGB" - a color value represented as red/green/blue

SYNOPSIS
       Directly:

	use Convert::Color::RGB;

	my $red = Convert::Color::RGB->new( 1, 0, 0 );

	# Can also parse strings
	my $pink = Convert::Color::RGB->new( '1,0.7,0.7' );

       Via Convert::Color:

	use Convert::Color;

	my $cyan = Convert::Color->new( 'rgb:0,1,1' );

DESCRIPTION
       Objects in this class represent a color in RGB space, as a set of three
       floating-point values in the range 0 to 1.

       For representations using 8- or 16-bit integers, see
       Convert::Color::RGB8 and Convert::Color::RGB16.

CONSTRUCTOR
   $color = Convert::Color::RGB->new( $red, $green, $blue )
       Returns a new object to represent the set of values given. These values
       should be floating-point numbers between 0 and 1. Values outside of
       this range will be clamped.

   $color = Convert::Color::RGB->new( $string )
       Parses $string for values, and construct a new object similar to the
       above three-argument form. The string should be in the form

	red,green,blue

       containing the three floating-point values in decimal notation.

METHODS
   $r = $color->red
   $g = $color->green
   $b = $color->blue
       Accessors for the three components of the color.

   ( $red, $green, $blue ) = $color->rgb
       Returns the individual red, green and blue color components of the
       color value.

   $mix = $color->alpha_blend( $other, [ $alpha ] )
       Return a new color which is a blended combination of the two passed
       into it.	 The optional $alpha parameter defines the mix ratio between
       the two colors, defaulting to 0.5 if not defined. Values closer to 0
       will blend more of $color, closer to 1 will blend more of $other.

   $measure = $color->dst_rgb( $other )
       Return a measure of the distance between the two colors. This is the
       unweighted Euclidean distance of the three color components. Two
       identical colors will have a measure of 0, pure black and pure white
       have a distance of 1, and all others will lie somewhere inbetween.

   $measure = $color->dst_rgb_cheap( $other )
       Return a measure of the distance between the two colors. This is the
       sum of the squares of the differences of each of the color components.
       This is part of the value used to calculate "dst_rgb", but since it
       involves no square root it will be cheaper to calculate, for use in
       cases where only the relative values matter, such as when picking the
       "best match" out of a set of colors.  It ranges between 0 for identical
       colours and 3 for the distance between pure black and pure white.

EXAMPLES
   Generating Gradients
       The "alpha_blend" method can be used to generate a smooth gradient
       between two colours.

	use Convert::Color;

	my $blue = Convert::Color->new("vga:blue");
	my $cyan = Convert::Color->new("vga:cyan");

	say $blue->alpha_blend( $cyan, $_/10 )->as_rgb8->hex for 0 .. 10
