WowAce

A library intended to supply color manipulation tools.

Lazily defining F as the set of all values the 'number' type can have.

Assuming Prism = LibStub("LibPrism-1.0"):

Prism:Gradient(type, rMin, rMax, gMin, gMax, bMin, bMax, x)

Call with 2*rgb values representing the colors at x = 0 and x = 1 respectively, alongside the x coordinate you wish to get the value for and the type of gradient to use.

Parameters

type

Which gradient type to use. Currently supports HSV and RGB. More may be added at a later date.

rMin

The red color value at your starting point, {rMin ∈ F: 0 ≤ rMin ≤ 1}

rMax

The red color value at your ending point, {rMax ∈ F: 0 ≤ rMax ≤ 1}

gMin

The green color value at your starting point, {gMin∈ F: 0 ≤ gMin ≤ 1}

gMax

The green color value at your ending point, {gMax ∈ F: 0 ≤ gMax ≤ 1}

bMin

The blue color value at your starting point, {bMin ∈ F: 0 ≤ bMin ≤ 1}

bMax

The blue color value at your ending point, {bMax ∈ F: 0 ≤ bMax ≤ 1}

x

The x coordinate, or in other words a percentage describing how far the point the desired color is from the two end points, {x ∈ F: 0 ≤ x ≤ 1} is expected, but if x < 0 it will default to 0, and if x > 1 it will default to 1. For convenience, 0/0 will be defined as 0 for the purposes of this function.

Return values

Gradient types

HSV

The path between two points in a HSV cylinder. Which is to say, a three-dimensional approach to movement will be observed, as the function will move along the hue axis (circumference; periodical, with the period 360, as in not radians), the saturation axis (the radius) and the value (aka brightness) axis (height).

RGB

Linear progression along each of the RGB values, which makes for a seemingly less natural progression than the above method.
