How can I get the RGB values from a color name?

KevinWH over 7 years ago

Hi,

I'm using drGetPacket to get the fill color name.

I would like to convert this name to the appropriate RGB values.

How could I do this?

If this is not possible, how could I get a list of all possible fill color names?

With that, I could write my own function.

Thanks

If you looked in the documentation for drGetPacket, you should find the function drGetColor nearby which would tell you the RGB definition of the color. For example:

drGetColor("display" "pink")
("display" "pink" 255 191 242
nil
)

There is no public SKILL function to retrieve the color names (the color names are defined in the display.drf file - potentially that could be parsed should you really want to find out all the current color names).

Andrew.

Thanks! That worked. I should've seen that in the docs.
