Ngl.hlsrgb

Converts from the HLS color space to RGB.

Prototype

r, g, b = Ngl.hlsrgb(h, l, s)

Arguments

h

Hue values in the range [0.,360.). A hue of "0." corresponds to blue.

l

Lightness values in the range [0.,100.]. Lightness is a measure of the quantity of light - a lightness of 0. is black, and a lightness of 100. gives white. The pure hues occur at lightness value 50.

s

Saturation values in the range [0.,100.]. Saturation is a measure of how much white light is mixed with the color. Colors having a saturation value of 0. represent grays with a gray intensity value equal to the lightness L. Colors with a saturation value of 100. are fully saturated colors. The hue is undefined when S=0. The fully saturated pure hues occur when S=100. and L=50.

Return values

r, g, b

The red, green, and blue intensity values in the range [0., 1.].

Description

This function converts from the HLS (Hue, Lightness, Saturation) color space to the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color space.
