URGB2HSL

Summary

User-Defined Function: vector uRGB2HSL( vector vColRGB );

Returns a percentage based vector that is vColRGB converted to a HSL.

• vColRGB: source color as percentages of range.

Code:

• LSO: 502 bytes
• MONO: 1536 bytes

Caveats

• This function does not check input RGB validity. See Articles below
• HSL is kept percentage based here for best compatibility with image mapping
• HSL color vectors may not be set directly

Notes

• To convert RGB or HSL values from other software to percentage based, simply divide each value by it's range
  • range is determined by subtracting the lower bound from the upper bound.
• To convert RGB or HSL percentages to your preferred format, multiply the value by the preferred range.
