Color

Inherits from: Paint > Interpolatable

Overview

The Color class is used to encapsulate colors in the default sRGB color space. Every color has an implicit alpha value of 1.0 or an explicit one provided in the constructor. The alpha value defines the transparency of a color and can be represented by a float value in the range 0.0-1.0 or 0-255. An alpha value of 1.0 or 255 means that the color is completely opaque and an alpha value of 0 or 0.0 means that the color is completely transparent. When constructing a Color with an explicit alpha or getting the color/alpha components of a Color, the color components are never premultiplied by the alpha component.

Colors can be created with the constructor or with one of several utility methods. The following lines of code all create the same blue color:

              var c = Color.BLUE;   //use the blue constant  var c = Color { red: 0 green: 0 blue: 1.0 }; // standard constructor   var c = Color.color(0,0,1.0); //use 0->1.0 values. implicit alpha of 1.0  var c = Color.color(0,0,1.0,1.0); //use 0->1.0 values, explicit alpha of 1.0   var c = Color.rgb(0,0,255); //use 0->255 integers, implict alpha of 1.0  var c = Color.rgb(0,0,255,1.0); //use 0->255 integers, explict alpha of 1.0   var c = Color.hsb(270,1.0,1.0); //hue = 270, saturation & value = 1.0. inplict alpha of 1.0  var c = Color.hsb(270,1.0,1.0,1.0); //hue = 270, saturation & value = 1.0, explict alpha of 1.0   var c = Color.web("0x0000FF",1.0);// blue as a hex web value, explict alpha  var c = Color.web("0x0000FF");// blue as a hex web value, implict alpha  var c = Color.web("#0000FF",1.0);// blue as a hex web value, explict alpha  var c = Color.web("#0000FF");// blue as a hex web value, implict alpha  var c = Color.web("0000FF",1.0);// blue as a hex web value, explict alpha  var c = Color.web("0000FF");// blue as a hex web value, implict alpha

The creation of a Color will throw IllegalArgumentException if any of the values are out of range.
