NAME

Color::ANSI::Util - Routines for dealing with ANSI colors

VERSION

version 0.09

SYNOPSIS

use Color::ANSI::Util qw(
    ansifg
    ansibg
);

say ansifg("f01010"); # => "\e[31;1m" (on 16-color terminal)
say ansibg("ff5f87"); # => "\e[48;5;204m" (on 256-color terminal)

There are a bunch of other exportable functions too, mostly for converting between RGB and ANSI color (16/256/24bit color depth).

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().

rgb_to_ansi_fg_code($rgb) => STR

Return ANSI escape code to set 24bit/256/16 foreground color (which color depth used is determined by COLOR_DEPTH environment setting or from Term::Detect::Software). In other words, this function automatically chooses rgb_to_ansi{24b,256,16}_fg_code().

ansifg($rgb) => STR

Alias for rgb_to_ansi_fg_code().

rgb_to_ansi_bg_code($rgb) => STR

Return ANSI escape code to set 24bit/256/16 background color (which color depth used is determined by COLOR_DEPTH environment setting or from Term::Detect::Software). In other words, this function automatically chooses rgb_to_ansi{24b,256,16}_bg_code().

ansibg($rgb) => STR

Alias for rgb_to_ansi_bg_code().

ENVIRONMENT

COLOR_DEPTH => INT

Observed by: ansi{fg,bg}.

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.

TODO

Routine to convert ANSI escape code, e.g. \e[31;1m into RGB value (ff0000).
