Syntax

[Serializable]
public struct HSBColor

Remarks

This class is based on code from http://www.cs.rit.edu/~ncs/color/ by Eugene Vishnevsky. This struct stores the hue, saturation, brightness, and alpha values internally as Byte values from 0 to 255. The hue represents a fraction of the 360 degrees of color space available. The saturation is the color intensity, where 0 represents gray scale and 255 is the most colored. For the brightness, 0 represents black and 255 represents white.

HSBColor(Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32)

Constructor to load an HSBColor struct from hue, saturation, brightness, and alpha values

Declaration

public HSBColor(int a, int h, int s, int b)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Int32	a	The alpha value (opacity), ranging from 0 (transparent) to 255 (opaque)
Int32	h	The color hue value, ranging from 0 to 255
Int32	s	The color saturation (intensity) value, ranging from 0 (gray scale) to 255 (most colored)
Int32	b	The brightness value, ranging from 0 (black) to 255 (white)

Fields

A

The alpha value (opacity), ranging from 0 (transparent) to 255 (opaque).

Declaration

public byte A

Field Value

Type	Description
Byte

| Improve this Doc View Source

B

The brightness value, ranging from 0 (black) to 255 (white).

Declaration

public byte B

Field Value

Type	Description
Byte

H

The color hue value, ranging from 0 to 255.

Declaration

public byte H

Field Value

Type	Description
Byte

Remarks

This property is actually a rescaling of the 360 degrees on the color wheel to 255 possible values. Therefore, every 42.5 units is a new sector, with the following convention: red=0, yellow=42.5, green=85, cyan=127.5, blue=170, magenta=212.5

S

The color saturation (intensity) value, ranging from 0 (gray scale) to 255 (most colored).

Declaration

public byte S

Field Value

Type	Description
Byte
