ColorHSV()
Summary
Creates a color based on hue, saturation and brightness.
Syntax
c = ColorHSV(real hue, real saturation, real value)
| Argument | Contents |
|---|---|
| hue | Hue in color spectrum, from 0 (red) to 359 (violet), or -1 for an achromatic color (e.g. white, gray, black). |
| saturation | Saturation, from 0 (unsaturated, achromatic) to 1 (maximally saturated, pure color). |
| value | Brightness value from 0 (dark) to 1 (light), with maximally bright pure red, green and blue colors having a value of 1. |
Returns
A color (red, green, blue, and alpha).
Notes
-
Pure red with maximum brightness corresponds to (hue = 0, saturation = 1, value = 1). Pure green and pure blue are similar with hues of 120 and 240 respectively.
-
Pure white corresponds to (hue = -1, saturation = 0, value = 1).
-
Pure black corresponds to (hue = -1, saturation = 0, value = 0).
-
Opacity can also be set with the alpha selector on a color; for more information, see Compound Variables.
