IntsToColor()

static Color Advanced_Software_Engineering.Verbs.Value.ValueHelper.IntsToColor ( int  r, int  g, int  b, int  a = 255  )

static

Generate a color from RGB(A) int values

Parameters

r	Red
g	Green
b	Blue
a	Optional: Alpha/Transparancy (default is 255, 0 is transparent)

Returns

TextToColor()

static Color Advanced_Software_Engineering.Verbs.Value.ValueHelper.TextToColor ( string  text )

static

This function convers text to Color.

It can parse several different types of strings. Types of string accepted:

• A string that is the name of a predefined color. See Color class for full list.
• A string that represents a Hex Triplet (

  #rrggbb

  ). See .
• A string that represents a Hex Quadruplet (

  #rrggbbaa

  , where

  aa

  represents alpha).

Color tmp = TextToColor("red"); Console.WriteLine("Name: " + tmp.toString()) //=> "red"

tmp = TextToColor("deadbe"); Console.WriteLine("Name: " + tmp.toString()) //=> "00deadbe"

//It's important to remember that C# doesn't work like HTML colors, putting alpha first, rather than last.

tmp = TextToColor("deadbeef"); Console.WriteLine("Name: " + tmp.toString()) //=> "efdeadbe"

Parameters

text	a string with a valid name or format

Returns

color of the string
