DESCRIPTION

FUNCTIONS

None are exported by default, but they are exportable.

assign_rgb_color

Usage:

my $rgb = assign_rgb_color($str);

Map a string to an RGB color. This is done by producing SHA-1 digest (160bit, 20 bytes) of the string, then taking the first, 10th, and last byte to become the RGB color.

assign_rgb_dark_color

Like "assign_rgb_color" except that it will make sure the assigned color is dark.

assign_rgb_light_color

Like "assign_rgb_color" except that it will make sure the assigned color is light.

int2rgb

Usage:

my $rgb = int2rgb(0xffffff); # => ffffff

Convert integer to RGB string.

mix_2_rgb_colors

Usage:

my $mixed_rgb = mix_2_rgb_colors($rgb1, $rgb2, $pct);

Mix 2 RGB colors. $pct is a number between 0 and 1, by default 0.5 (halfway), the closer to 1 the closer the resulting color to $rgb2.

mix_rgb_colors

Usage:

my $mixed_rgb = mix_rgb_colors($color1, $weight1, $color2, $weight2, ...);

Mix several RGB colors.

rand_rgb_color

Usage:

my $rgb = rand_rgb_color([ $low_limit [ , $high_limit ] ]);

Generate a random RGB color. You can specify the limit. Otherwise, they default to the full range (000000 to ffffff).

rand_rgb_colors

Usage:

my @rgbs = rand_rgb_colors([ \%opts ], $num=1);

Produce $num random RGB colors, with some options. Will make reasonable attempt to make the colors different from one another.

Known options:

  • light_color

    Boolean, default true. By default, this function will create light RGB colors, assuming the background color is dark, which is often the case in terminal. If this option is set to false, will create dark colors instead, If this option is set to undef, will create both dark and light colors.

  • avoid_colors

    Arrayref or hashref. List of colors to be avoided. You can put, for example, colors that you've already assigned/picked for your palette and don't want to use again.

  • max_attempts

    Uint, default 1000. Number of attempts to try generating the next random color if the generated color is rejected because it is light/dark, or because it's in avoid_colors.

reverse_rgb_color

Usage:

my $reversed = reverse_rgb_color($rgb);

Reverse $rgb.

rgb2grayscale

Usage:

my $rgb_gs = rgb2grayscale($rgb);

Convert $rgb to grayscale RGB value.

rgb2int

Usage:

my $int = rgb2int("ffffff"); # => 16777216, which is 0xffffff

Convert RGB string to integer.

rgb2sepia

Usage:

my $rgb_sepia = rgb2sepia($rgb);

Convert $rgb to sepia tone RGB value.

rgb_diff

Usage:

my $dist = rgb_diff($rgb1, $rgb2[ , $algo ])

Calculate difference between two RGB colors, using one of several algorithms. The default ("euclidean") simply calculates the distance as:

( (R1-R2)**2 + (G1-G2)**2 + (B1-B2)**2 )**0.5

which is the same as what "rgb_distance"() would produce. Another algorithm ("approx1") uses the following formula:

( 2*(R1-R2)**2 + 4*(G1-G2)**2 + 3*(B1-B2)**2 + Rm*((R1-R2)**2 - (B1-B2)**2)/256 )**0.5

where, Rm or "R mean" is (R1+R2)/2.

For more details about color difference, refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_difference.

rgb_distance

Usage:

my $dist = rgb_distance($rgb1, $rgb2)

Calculate the euclidean RGB distance, using this formula:

( (R1-R2)**2 + (G1-G2)**2 + (B1-B2)**2 )**0.5

For example, the distance between "000000" and "ffffff" is ~441.67, while the distance between "ffff00" and "ffffff" is 255.

rgb_is_dark

Usage:

my $is_dark = rgb_is_dark($rgb)

Return true if $rgb is a "dark" color, which is determined by checking if the RGB distance to "000000" is smaller than to "ffffff".

rgb_is_light

Usage:

my $is_light = rgb_is_light($rgb)

Return true if $rgb is a "light" color, which is determined by checking if the RGB distance to "000000" is larger than to "ffffff".

rgb_luminance

Usage:

my $luminance = rgb_luminance($rgb);

Calculate standard/objective luminance from RGB value using this formula:

(0.2126*R) + (0.7152*G) + (0.0722*B)

where R, G, and B range from 0 to 1. Return a number from 0 to 1.

tint_rgb_color

Usage:

my $new_rgb = tint_rgb_color($rgb, $tint_rgb, $pct)

Tint $rgb with $tint_rgb. $pct is by default 0.5. It is similar to mixing, but the less luminance the color is the less it is tinted with the tint color. This has the effect of black color still being black instead of becoming tinted.
