The Color struct

The Color struct is used to specify and manipulate Color, it allows conversion between values such as hexidecimal notation, alpha values and HSL. Note that the color components are stored as floats.

Color(r, g, b, a)

Use the main constructor to initialize a color from ARGB. Each component must be between 0.0 and 1.0.

local red = Color(1, 0, 0, 1)

Color.from_hex(hex)

Use this method to construct a color struc using hexidecimal notation. The hex value must start with a hashtag, and have 6 digits to be seen ad valid. Here is an example of how to use it:

local red = Color.from_hex('#FF0000')

Future version of the engine will allow 3,4 or 8 digits variants.

Color.from_hsl(h, s, l, a)

Use this method to construct a color struct using hue saturation, lightness and alpha components. Each component must be between 0.0 and 1.0. For example:

local red = Color.from_hsl(0, 1, 0.5, 1)
