NAME

Color::Spectrum - Generate spectrums of web colors

SYNOPSIS

# Procedural interface:
use Color::Spectrum qw(generate);
my @color = generate(10,'#000000','#FFFFFF');

# OO interface:
use Color::Spectrum;
my $spectrum = Color::Spectrum->new();
my @color = $spectrum->generate(10,'#000000','#FFFFFF');

DESCRIPTION

This is a rewrite of a script I wrote 4 years ago to make spectrums of colors for web page table tags. It uses a real simple geometric conversion that gets the job done.

It can shade from dark to light, from saturated to dull, and around the spectrum all at the same time. It can go thru the spectrum in either direction.

METHODS

generate

# Procedural interface:
@list = generate($elements,$start_color,$end_color);

# OO interface:
@list = $spectrum->generate($elements,$start_color,$end_color);

This method returns a list of size $elements which contains web colors starting from $start_color and ranging to $end_color.
