The following functions convert between LSL color in Red Green Blue (RGB) format and color in Hue Saturation Value (HSV) format. The functions are based on "c" algorithms from c color conversion but required some debugging and extensive re-working to fit them in to LSL. For a discussion of HSV color format please see the wikipedia entry at HSV Color

Amazing what a little bit of readability does. If I ever submit anything else that poorly formatted again, someone please smack me upside the head and tell me to come fix it, please.
HSV to HSL

Original code most likely from: converting-between-hsl-and-hsv.html

if (HSL.z <= 1) HSL.y /= HSL.z;
else HSL.y /= (2 - HSL.z);

return HSL;
} </lsl>
HSL to HSV

HSL to RGB
I wrote the following two functions since the RGBtoHSL By Cobalt Arkright had a strange bug (math error) when some values was passed to the functions. And I couldn't find a reverse function for RGB to HSL. I tried to find out where the error was but I didn't succeded in fixing it so i wrote them from the beginning with a different approach. The functions are similar however, just something different in the coding.
