    Methods

    Name Description
    Create Overloaded
    Create(TUIColor)
    Create(TColor)
    Create(Double, Double, Double)
    ToColor Returns a system color from this instance. This method is only needed in C++, in Delphi you can just assign the HslColor to the Color:...[more]
    ApplyTint This method returns the brightness that results from applying tint to brightness.
    GetTint Returns the tint needed to go from originalBrightness to newBrightness.
    A tint of 0 means no change (OriginalBrightness == NewBrightness), a tint of -1 means NewBrightness = 0, and a tint of 1 means NewBrightness = 1. So this method just does a simple interpolation to find out the needed tint.




    This method is the inverse of ApplyTint
    DistanceSquared Returns the distance between 2 colors. Not that this is not the euclidean distance, but a distance calculated to improve Hue matching.
    When converting cell colors, we try to preserve hues, so even a very pale red cell will be converted to bright red and not white or a very pale blue.
    This make it different from standard color matching as is done when adjusting images to a color palette, and where hue is not as important as here.
    Equals Returns true if both colors are the same.
    GetHashCode Returns a hashcode for the color.
    CompareTo Returns -1 if obj is more than color, 0 if both colors are the same, and 1 if obj is less than color.

    Operators

    Name Description
    Implicit Conversion Overloaded
    Implicit conversion from TUIColor to THSLColor
    Implicit conversion from THSLColor to TUIColor
    Implicit conversion from TColor to THSLColor
    Implicit conversion from THSLColor to TColor
    Equality Adapts the = operator so it returns true when both instances have the same values.
    Inequality Adapts the <> operator so it returns true when both instances have different values.
    GreaterThan Adapts the > operator so it returns true when the first parameter is bigger than the second.
    LessThan Adapts the < operator so it returns true when the first parameter is smaller than the second.
