Detailed Description

Describes the layout and colours that should be used to paint a colour gradient.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ColourGradient::ColourGradient	(	Colour	colour1,
		float	x1,
		float	y1,
		Colour	colour2,
		float	x2,
		float	y2,
		bool	isRadial
	)

Creates a gradient object.

(x1, y1) is the location to draw with colour1. Likewise (x2, y2) is where colour2 should be. In between them there's a gradient.

If isRadial is true, the colours form a circular gradient with (x1, y1) at its centre.

The alpha transparencies of the colours are used, so note that if you blend from transparent to a solid colour, the RGB of the transparent colour will become visible in parts of the gradient. e.g. blending from Colour::transparentBlack to Colours::white will produce a muddy grey colour midway, but Colour::transparentWhite to Colours::white will be white all the way across.

ColourGradient::ColourGradient ( )

noexcept

Creates an uninitialised gradient.

If you use this constructor instead of the other one, be sure to set all the object's public member variables before using it!

ColourGradient::~ColourGradient ( )

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

void ColourGradient::clearColours ( )

Removes any colours that have been added.

This will also remove any start and end colours, so the gradient won't work. You'll need to add more colours with addColour().

int ColourGradient::addColour	(	double	proportionAlongGradient,
		Colour	colour
	)

Adds a colour at a point along the length of the gradient.

This allows the gradient to go through a spectrum of colours, instead of just a start and end colour.

Parameters

proportionAlongGradient	a value between 0 and 1.0, which is the proportion of the distance along the line between the two points at which the colour should occur.
colour	the colour that should be used at this point

Returns: the index at which the new point was added

void ColourGradient::removeColour ( int index )

Removes one of the colours from the gradient.

void ColourGradient::multiplyOpacity ( float multiplier )

noexcept

Multiplies the alpha value of all the colours by the given scale factor.

int ColourGradient::getNumColours ( ) const

noexcept

Returns the number of colour-stops that have been added.

double ColourGradient::getColourPosition ( int index ) const

noexcept

Returns the position along the length of the gradient of the colour with this index.

The index is from 0 to getNumColours() - 1. The return value will be between 0.0 and 1.0

Colour ColourGradient::getColour ( int index ) const

noexcept

Returns the colour that was added with a given index.

The index is from 0 to getNumColours() - 1.

void ColourGradient::setColour	(	int	index,
		Colour	newColour
	)

noexcept

Changes the colour at a given index.

The index is from 0 to getNumColours() - 1.

Colour ColourGradient::getColourAtPosition ( double position ) const

noexcept

Returns the an interpolated colour at any position along the gradient.

Parameters

position the position along the gradient, between 0 and 1

int ColourGradient::createLookupTable	(	const AffineTransform &	transform,
		HeapBlock< PixelARGB > &	resultLookupTable
	)		const

Creates a set of interpolated premultiplied ARGB values.

This will resize the HeapBlock, fill it with the colours, and will return the number of colours that it added. When calling this, the ColourGradient must have at least 2 colour stops specified.

void ColourGradient::createLookupTable	(	PixelARGB *	resultLookupTable,
		int	numEntries
	)		const

noexcept

Creates a set of interpolated premultiplied ARGB values.

This will fill an array of a user-specified size with the gradient, interpolating to fit. The numEntries argument specifies the size of the array, and this size must be greater than zero. When calling this, the ColourGradient must have at least 2 colour stops specified.

bool ColourGradient::isOpaque ( ) const

noexcept

Returns true if all colours are opaque.

bool ColourGradient::isInvisible ( ) const

noexcept

Returns true if all colours are completely transparent.

bool ColourGradient::operator== ( const ColourGradient & ) const

noexcept

bool ColourGradient::operator!= ( const ColourGradient & ) const

noexcept

Point<float> ColourGradient::point1

Point<float> ColourGradient::point2

bool ColourGradient::isRadial

If true, the gradient should be filled circularly, centred around point1, with point2 defining a point on the circumference.

If false, the gradient is linear between the two points.
