Module:Color/doc
This is the documentation page for Module:Color
This module is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected. |
This Lua module is used on approximately 620 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This module is used primarily by {{Infobox color}}, eliminating the need for external color converters and preventing mismatch between color coordinates.
Usage
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]To use this module, you may use one of the above listed templates or invoke the module directly. All functions that accept hexadecimal triplets also handle the shorthand three-digit format.
To convert a hexadecimal triplet to an RGB triplet as comma-separated values:
{{#invoke:Color|hexToRgbTriplet|color}}
To convert a hexadecimal triplet to the CMYK color model without a color profile (which is a very bad idea!):
{{#invoke:Color|hexToCmyk|color|precision=?|pctsign=?}}
To convert a hexadecimal triplet to HSL or HSV:
{{#invoke:Color|hexToHsl|color|precision=?}}
{{#invoke:Color|hexToHsv|color|precision=?}}
To convert a hexadecimal triplet to the perceptual CIELChuv color space:
{{#invoke:Color|hexToCielch|color|precision=?}}
To mix two colors in the more physically correct linear RGB space:
{{#invoke:Color|hexMix|color1|color2|proportion|min=?|max=?}}
To convert an RGB triplet to a hex code:
{{#invoke:Color|rgbTripletToHex|r|g|b}}
The following parameters are optional:
precision
: defaults to0
(zero)pctsign
: set to0
(zero) to suppress percent signs in the generated outputproportion
: proportion ofcolor2
, defaults to 50min
: minimum value of proportion range, defaults to 0max
: maximum value of proportion range, defaults to 100
