NAME

Color::Object - A OO-Color Module

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;

METHODS

Color::Object->new
Color::Object->newRGB $r, $g, $b
Color::Object->newHSV $h, $s, $v
Color::Object->newHSL $h, $s, $l
Color::Object->newGrey $grey
( $r, $g, $b ) = $cl->asRGB: Returns $cl's rgb values. Range [0 .. 1].
( $h, $s, $v ) = $cl->asHSV: Returns $cl's hsv values. Ranges h [0 .. 360], s/v [0 .. 1].
( $h, $s, $l ) = $cl->asHSL: Returns $cl's hsl values. Ranges h [0 .. 360], s/l [0 .. 1].
$grey = $cl->asGrey
$grey = $cl->asGrey2: Returns $cl's grey value. Range [0 .. 1]. Functions 2 returns the geometric mean of the corresponding RGB values.
( $c, $m, $y )= $cl->asCMY: Returns $cl's cmy values. Range [0 .. 1].
( $c, $m, $y, $k )= $cl->asCMYK
( $c, $m, $y, $k )= $cl->asCMYK2
( $c, $m, $y, $k )= $cl->asCMYK3: Returns $cl's cmyk values. Range [0 .. 1]. Function 2 returns a 25% lighter color-equivalent. Function 3 returns a 25% lighter color-equivalent.
$hex = $cl->asHex: Returns $cl's rgb values as 6 hex-digits.
$cl->setRGB $r, $g, $b: Sets the $cl's rgb values. Valid range [0 .. 1].
$cl->setHSV $h, $s, $v: Sets the $cl's hsv values. Valid ranges: h [0..360], s/v [0..1].
$cl->setHSL $h, $s, $l: Sets the $cl's hsl values. Valid ranges: h [0..360], s/l [0..1].
$cl->setGrey $grey: Sets the $cl's grey value. Valid range [0 .. 1].
$cl->setHex $hex: Sets the $cl's rgb values using 6 hex-nibbles.
$cl->addSaturation $saturation: Adds to the $cl's saturation in the HSV model. Valid range [-1 .. 1].
$cl->setSaturation $saturation: Sets the $cl's saturation in the HSV model. Valid range [0 .. 1].
$cl->rotHue $degrees: Rotates the $cl's hue in the HSV/L model. Valid range [-360 .. 360].
$cl->setHue $hue: Sets the $cl's hue in the HSV/L model. Valid range [0 .. 360].
$cl->addBrightness $brightness: Adds to the $cl's brightness in the HSV model. Valid range [-1 .. 1].
$cl->setBrightness $brightness: Sets the $cl's brightness in the HSV model. Valid range [0 .. 1].
$cl->addLightness $lightness: Adds to the $cl's lightness in the HSL model. Valid range [-1 .. 1].
$cl->setLightness $lightness: Sets the $cl's lightness in the HSL model. Valid range [0 .. 1].
