NAME¶

HLSRGB - Converts a color specification given as Hue, Lightness, and Saturation (HLS) values to Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) intensity values.

SYNOPSIS¶

CALL HLSRGB ( H, L, S, R, G, B )

C-BINDING SYNOPSIS¶

#include <ncarg/ncargC.h>

void c_hlsrgb (float h, float l, float s, float *r,
float *g, float *b)

DESCRIPTION¶

H

(REAL, input, range [0.,360.) ) represents the hue of the input color in HLS color space. H=0. corresponds to blue.

L

(REAL, input, range [0.,100.]) represents the lightness value of the input color in HLS color space. Lightness is a measure of the quantity of light - a lightness of 0. is black, and a lightness of 100. gives white. The pure hues occur at lightness value 50.

S

(REAL, input, range [0.,100.]) represents the saturation value of the input color in HLS color space. Saturation is a measure of how much white light is mixed with the color. Colors having a saturation value of 0. represent grays with a gray intensity value equal to the lightness L. Colors with a saturation value of 100. are fully saturated colors. The hue is undefined when S=0. The fully saturated pure hues occur when S=100. and L=50.

R

(REAL, output, range [0.,1.]) represents the red intensity component of the output color in RGB color space.

G

(REAL, output, range [0.,1.]) represents the green intensity component of the output color in RGB color space.

B

(REAL, output, range [0.,1.]) represents the blue intensity component of the output color in RGB color space.

C-BINDING DESCRIPTION¶

The C-binding argument descriptions are the same as the FORTRAN argument descriptions.

EXAMPLES¶

Use the ncargex command to see the following relevant examples: ccpcldm, ccplbam, ccpllb, ccplll, ccpllw, colcon, fcce02.

ACCESS¶

To use HLSRGB or c_hlsrgb, load the NCAR Graphics libraries ncarg, ncarg_gks, and ncarg_c, preferably in that order.
