DESCRIPTION

This module provides routines for dealing with ANSI colors.

Keywords: xterm, xterm-256color, terminal

FUNCTIONS

ansi16_to_rgb($color) => STR

Convert ANSI-16 color to RGB. $color is number from 0-15, or color names "black", "red", "green", "yellow", "blue", "magenta", "cyan", "white" with "bold" to indicate bold/bright. Return 6-hexdigit, e.g. "ff00cc".

Die on invalid input.

rgb_to_ansi16($color) => INT

Convert RGB to ANSI-16 color. $color is 6-hexdigit RGB color like "ff00cc". Will pick the closest color. Return number from 0-15.

Die on invalid input.

ansi256_to_rgb($color) => STR

Convert ANSI-256 color to RGB. $color is a number from 0-255. Return 6-hexdigit, e.g. "ff00cc".

Die on invalid input.

rgb_to_ansi256($color) => INT

Convert RGB to ANSI-256 color. $color is 6-hexdigit RGB color like "ff00cc". Will pick the closest color. Return number between 0-255.

Die on invalid input.

rgb_to_ansi16_fg_code($rgb) => STR

ansi16fg($rgb) => STR

Alias for rgb_to_ansi16_fg_code().

rgb_to_ansi16_bg_code($rgb) => STR

ansi16bg($rgb) => STR

Alias for rgb_to_ansi16_bg_code().

rgb_to_ansi256_fg_code($rgb) => STR

ansi256fg($rgb) => STR

Alias for rgb_to_ansi256_fg_code().

rgb_to_ansi256_bg_code($rgb) => STR

ansi256bg($rgb) => STR

Alias for rgb_to_ansi256_bg_code().

rgb_to_ansi24b_fg_code($rgb) => STR

Return ANSI escape code to set 24bit foreground color. Supported by Konsole and Yakuake.

ansi24bfg($rgb) => STR

Alias for rgb_to_ansi24b_fg_code().

rgb_to_ansi24b_bg_code($rgb) => STR

Return ANSI escape code to set 24bit background color. Supported by Konsole and Yakuake.

ansi24bbg($rgb) => STR

Alias for rgb_to_ansi24b_bg_code().

BUGS/NOTES

Algorithm for finding closest indexed color from RGB color currently not very efficient. Probably can add some threshold square distance, below which we can shortcut to the final answer.
