COLOR_VERSION = 
'1.8'
COLOR_EPSILON =

The maximum “resolution” for colour math; if any value is less than or equal to this value, it is treated as zero.

1e-5
COLOR_TOLERANCE =

The tolerance for comparing the components of two colours. In general, colours are considered equal if all of their components are within this tolerance value of each other.

1e-4
GreyScale =

A synonym for Color::GrayScale.

Color::GrayScale

.coerce(a, b) ⇒ Object

Coerces, if possible, the second given colour object to the first given colour object type. This will probably involve colour conversion and therefore a loss of fidelity.

.equivalent?(a, b) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if the two colours are roughly equivalent. If colour conversions are required, this all conversions will be implemented using the default conversion mechanism.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

.near?(x, y) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if the two values provided are near each other.

Returns:

.new(values, mode = :rgb) ⇒ Object

Provides a thin veneer over the Color module to make it seem like this is Color 0.1.0 (a class) and not Color 1.4 (a module). This “constructor” will be removed in the future.

mode = :hsl

values must be an array of [ hue deg, sat %, lum % ]. A Color::HSL object will be created.

mode = :rgb

values will either be an HTML-style colour string or an array of [ red, green, blue ] (range 0 .. 255). A Color::RGB object will be created.

mode = :cmyk

values must be an array of [ cyan %, magenta %, yellow %, black % ]. A Color::CMYK object will be created.

Instance Method Details

#==(other) ⇒ Object

Compares the other colour to this one. The other colour will be coerced to the same type as the current colour. Such converted colour comparisons will always be more approximate than non-converted comparisons.

If the other colour cannot be coerced to the current colour class, a NoMethodError exception will be raised.

All values are compared as floating-point values, so two colours will be reported equivalent if all component values are within COLOR_TOLERANCE of each other.
