CGAL::IO::Color Class Reference

`#include <CGAL/IO/Color.h>`

## Definition

An object of the class `Color` is a color available for drawing operations in many CGAL output streams.

Each color is defined by a 4 unsigned chars `(r,g,b,a)` with 0 \(\le\) r,g,b,a \( \le \) 255, the so-called rgba-value of the color.

The alpha parameter (representing transparency) is often ignored and left to its default value (255 = no transparency), which is why we often refer to the rgb-value of the color.

## Creation
| Color ()
| creates a color with rgba-value `(0,0,0,255)`, i.e. black.
| Color (unsigned char red, unsigned char green, unsigned char blue, unsigned char alpha=255)
| creates a color with rgba-value `(red,green,blue,alpha)`.

## Component Access
unsigned char | red () const
| returns the red component.
unsigned char & | red ()
| returns a reference on the red component.
unsigned char | green () const
| returns the green component.
unsigned char & | green ()
| returns a reference on the green component.
unsigned char | blue () const
| returns the blue component.
unsigned char & | blue ()
| returns a reference on the blue component.
unsigned char | alpha () const
| returns the alpha component.
unsigned char & | alpha ()
| returns a reference on the alpha component.

## Array Access
unsigned char | operator[] (std::size_t i) const
| returns the \(i^{th}\) component of the rgb color (the \(0^{th}\) is red, the \(1^{st}\) is green, the \(2^{nd}\) is blue and the \(3^{rd}\) is alpha).
unsigned char & | operator[] (std::size_t i)
| returns a reference on the \(i^{th}\) component of the rgb color (the \(0^{th}\) is red, the \(1^{st}\) is green, the \(2^{nd}\) is blue and the \(3^{rd}\) is alpha).
const std::array< unsigned char, 4 > & | to_rgba () const
| returns the array with rgba values.
const std::array< unsigned char, 3 > & | to_rgb () const
| returns the array with rgb values.
std::array< double, 3 > | to_hsv () const
| computes the hsv (hue, saturation, value) values and returns an array representing them as float values between 0 and 1.

## Modification
Color & | set_rgb (unsigned char red, unsigned char green, unsigned char blue, unsigned char alpha=255)
| replaces the rgb values of the colors by the one given as parameters.
Color & | set_hsv (double hue, double saturation, double value, unsigned char alpha=255)
| replaces the rgb values of the colors by the conversion to rgb of the hsv values given as parameters.
