StarInfo/Miskin/!ColourDef/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

            v 1.00 1/3/95
            
            
This utility enables you to find the R,G,B values of any colour, using
the Acorn ColourPicker module.  It is particularly useful to users of 
the (excellent) PD ray trace POV, which allows you to select colours for
your object from a full 16million colours, but needs red,green,blue
settings in the range 0-1.

It works on RiscOS 3.xx only. Users of RiscOs3/3.1 will need a copy of this 
module. 

Select on the iconbar icon opens the control window, while Adjust 
opens the Colourpicker window.

The r,g,b values of the chosen colour and the 32bit colour number 
are displayed in the control window. The format of the R,G,B colours 
can be toggled between Hex, 0-255, 0-1 and 0-100 depending on 
the use you plan to make of them. Clicking on the Pick icon opens the 
Colourpicker window, where a choice of colour can be made in RGB HSV
or CMYK modes. Clicking on the OK icon causes the values in the 
control window to be updated. Using Adjust leaves the Colourpicker 
window open.
