Inherits From:
TColor
Inherited By:
None.
Purpose:
THSVCompactColor is derived from TColor. The HSV (hue, saturation, value) color model, also sometimes called HSB (with B standing for brightness), is defined in relation to the artistic concepts of tint, shade, and tone. The HSV model forms a hexcone in 3-D space. A value for V of 255 corresponds to relatively bright colors. The H-coordinate (hue) is measured by the angle around the V-axis. H =0 is red, 120 degrees is green, and so forth. You can obtain a color's complement by adding 180 degrees to the H value. Because hue ranges from 0 to 255, a hue value of zero corresponds to zero degrees while a hue value of 255 corresponds to 360 degrees. Therefore, hue is defined in units of 360/256 degrees. The saturation value S is defined as a ratio ranging between 0 and 255. Saturation is measured relative to the color gamut. The HSV color model is uncalibrated; therefore, HSV colors must be defined with respect to a particular color device through a color profile.
The class provides arithmetic operators that operate on two colors.
