NAME

	cmap2rgb, cmap2rgba, rgb2cmap – colors and color maps

SYNOPSIS

	#include <u.h> #include <libc.h> #include <draw.h> int    rgb2cmap(int red, int green, int blue) int    cmap2rgb(int col) int    cmap2rgba(int col)

DESCRIPTION

These routines convert between `true color' red/green/blue triples and the Plan 9 color map. See color(6) for a description of RGBV, the standard color map. Rgb2cmap takes a trio of color values, scaled from 0 (no intensity) to 255 (full intensity), and returns the index of the color in RGBV closest to that represented by those values. Cmap2rgb decomposes the color of RGBV index col and returns a 24–bit integer with the low 8 bits representing the blue value, the next 8 representing green, and the next 8 representing red. Cmap2rgba decomposes the color of RGBV index col and returns a 32–bit integer with the low 8 bits representing an alpha value, defined to be 255, and the next 8 representing blue, then green, then red, as for cmap2rgba shifted up 8 bits. This 32–bit representation is the format used by draw(2) and memdraw(2) library routines that take colors as arguments.
