DESCRIPTION

A module for manipulation Colors within RGB, HSV and HSL color-spaces for usage within PDF-Documents especially with the Text::PDF::API modules.

SYNOPSIS

use Color::Object;

$cl = Color::Object->new;
$cl = Color::Object->newRGB($r,$g,$b);
$cl = Color::Object->newHSV($h,$s,$v);
$cl = Color::Object->newHSL($h,$s,$l);

$cl->setRGB($r,$g,$b);
$cl->addBrightness($br);
($h,$s,$l) = $cl->asHSL;
