XCOLOR-LIBRARY Author: Roger Fischlin Steigerwaldweg 6 6450 Hanau 7 West Germany Phone : (06181) 650266 General The XColor-Library gives you some functions for manipulating colors, eg. a color requester. Nearly all functions have a direct effect on the ColorMap, so RemakeDisplay (Intuition-Library) has to be executed for making the changes visible. There are two reasons for that : · RemakeDisplay forbids multitasking ! · All changes get visible by once ! If you open the XColor-Library, you will also get the pointers to the Graphics- , FFP- and Intuition-Library, that are part of the XColor-Library base. Copyright : The XColor-Library is NO Public Domain. The Author, Roger Fischlin, holds the copyright. The XColor-Library may be distributed on PD-disks , if ... · no profit is made !!!! · no changes are made ! So you can include the Xcolor-Library with a PD-disk. This text need not be included. This library may be distributed with commercial software, if ... · no changes are made ! · this unchanged text is included ! Bugs If there are any bugs, please send me an exact report. include files There are include files for · DevPac Assember · KickPascal · C (by Oliver Wagner) · AmigaBasic (by Oliver Wagner) Instructions for the Usage of the colour requesters As most functions should be evident, I just want to explain four things : 1. RGB <-> HSV By selecting RGB / HSV you can alternate between RGB- and HSV-scale. 2. hex <-> decimal Using the RGB-scale you can alternate between hexadecimal and decimal display, the number of the color will be diplayed hexadicimally (without $-character) or decimally, too. 3. The Undo-gadget for the color that is displayed is on the left side, above the number of the color. 4. All functions (COPY, SPREAD, EXCHANGE) may be canceled by re-selecting. Colour <-> Color I used COLOUR when I wrote the library but I also have added COLOR. Functions of XColor.Library : CheckColour function : CheckColour Offset : -30 Inputs : d0 - Number of colour (pen) a0 - ^ViewPort Return : 1 - EHB colour 0 - standard colour -1 - colour doesn't exist Purpose : This function returns the type of the colour. ReadRGB4 function : ReadRGB4 Offset : -36 Inputs : d0 - Number of colour (pen) a0 - ^ViewPort Return : RGB - colorvalue (word) -1 - no such color register Purpose : This function returns the RGB values of the colour as a word : (R * 2^8) + (G * 2^4) + B If this is an EHB-color, it will just be half as bright as an usual one. also look for : WriteRGB4 WriteRGB4 function : WriteRGB4 Offset : -42 Inputs : d0 - register of color d1 - RGB-value as a word a0 - ^ViewPort Return : 0 - OK -1 - no such register Purpose : This function writes the colorvalue into the ColorMap of the ViewPorts. If this register is an EHB-color, the brightness will be doubled and this RGB-value will be written into the register, so the EHB-color will have the RGB-value. As this value is directly written into the ColorMap, RemakeDisplay (Intuition-Library)has to be executed. also look for : ReadRGB4 ColorMapAddress function : ColorMapAddress Offset : -48 Inputs : d0 - kind of structure a0 - ^structure Return : <>0 - pointer to ColorMap 0 - wrong kind of structure Purpose : This function gets the pointer to the ColorMap. There are three possible structures : 0 : ViewPort 1 : Window 2 : Screen ExchangeColours function : ExchangeColours Offset : -54 Inputs : d0 - register of the first color d1 - register of the second color a0 - ^ViewPort Return : 0 - OK -1 - no such register(s), or these are different kinds of registers (EHB and RGB) Purpose : This function exchanges two values of the Color- Map of the ViewPort. If both registers are EHB-colors, the lower registers belonging to each other will be transfered. As only the ColorMap is changed, the copperlist must be rebuilt with RemakeDisplay (Intuition- Library), before any change will be visible. also look for : CopyColours, SpreadColours CopyColours function : CopyColours Offset : -60 Inputs : d0 - register of the first color ( Source ) d1 - register of the second color ( Destination ) a0 - ^ViewPort Return : 0 - OK -1 - no such register(s), or these are different kinds of registers (EHB and RGB) Purpose : This function copies the RGB-value of a register to another of the ColorMap of the ViewPort. If both registers are EHB-colors, the lower registers belonging to each other will be transfered. As only the ColorMap is changed, the copperlist must be rebuilt with RemakeDisplay (Intuition- Library), before any change will be visible. also look for : ExchangeColours, SpreadColours SpreadColours function : SpreadColours Offset : -66 Inputs : d0 - register of the first color d1 - register of the second color a0 - ^ViewPort Return : 0 - OK -1 - no such register(s), or these are different kinds of registers (EHB and RGB) Purpose : This function adepts the colors between the two register of the ColorMap of the ViewPort to the difference of them. If both registers are EHB-colors, the lower registers belonging to each other will be changed. As only the ColorMap is changed, the copperlist must be rebuilt with RemakeDisplay (Intuition- Library), before any change will be visible. also look for : ExchangeColours, CopyColours ColourDepth function : ColourDepth Offset : -72 Inputs : a0 - ^Screen Return : Depth - depth of the screen ( HAM-Mode = 4 and EHB-Mode = 6 ). Purpose : This function gets log2 of the number of color. also look for : ColourNumber ColourNumber function : ColourNumber Offset : -78 Inputs : a0 - ^Screen Return : number- number of colors of a screen, ( HAM-Mode = 16 and EHB-Mode = 64 ). Purpose : This function gets the number of colors. also look for : ColourDepth MakeAntique function : MakeAntique Offset : -84 Inputs : d0 - number of color (starting color) d1 - number of registers a0 - ^ViewPort Return : 0 - OK -1 - no such register Purpose : This function makes the number of registers from the starting color look antique. As only the ColorMap is changed, the copperlist must be rebuilt with RemakeDisplay (Intuition- Library), before any change will be visible. also look for : MakeBW MakeBW function : MakeBW Offset : -90 Inputs : d0 - number of color (starting color) d1 - number of register a0 - ^ViewPort Return : 0 - OK -1 - no such register. Purpose : This function makes the number of registers from the starting color on look black and white. As only the ColorMap is changed, the copperlist must be rebuilt with RemakeDisplay (Intuition- Library), before any change will be visible. also look for : MakeAntique CopyToBuffer function : CopyToBuffer Offset : -96 Inputs : d0 - number of color d1 - number of registers a0 - ^ViewPort a1 - ^buffer Return : number- number of copied registers Purpose : This function copies the registers of the ColorMap of the ViewPort to the buffer. As only the ColorMap is changed, the copperlist must be rebuilt with RemakeDisplay (Intuition- Library), before any change will be visible. also look for : CopyToColorMap CopyToColorMap function : CopyToColorMap Offset : -102 Inputs : d0 - number of color (starting color) d1 - number of registers a0 - ^ViewPort a1 - ^buffer Return : number- number of copied register Purpose : This function copies the values of the buffer into the registers of the ColorMap of the Viewport from the starting color on. also look for : CopyToBuffer HSVtoRGB function : HSVtoRGB Offset : -108 Inputs : d0 - H ($0000-$ffff) d1 - S ($0000-$ffff) d2 - V ($0000-$ffff) Return : RGB - RGB-value from HSV-value (as a word). Purpose : This function gets the RGB-value from the HSV-value. Many painting programs (eg. DPaint) use RGB-values and HSV-values. also look for : RGBtoHSV RGBtoHSV function : RGBtoHSV Offset : -114 Inputs : d0 - RGB as a word a0 - ^buffer (3 longwords = 12 bytes) Return : - HSV-value as a longword in the buffer Purpose : This function gets the HSV-value from a RGB-value. The HSV-values are to find seperated as longwords ($0000-$ffff) in the buffer also look for : HSVtoRGB ColourRequester function : ColourRequester Offset : -120 Inputs : a0 - ^colour requester structure Return : 0 - OK <0 - error Purpose : The colour requester-function gives you a palette for changing the colors. You can create your own requester by using the options and vectors.
