Inherits From:

TTransferMode

Inherited By:

None.

Purpose:

THSVBlendTransferMode is a concrete class, derived from TTransferMode, that interpolates between two colors using the HSV (hue-saturation-value) color space. (The source and destination need not be THSVColors, and the resulting color is converted from HSV to the specified color space.) A weighting factor determines the contribution of the source color to the mix. If the weight is 1.0, the resultant color is determined only by the source. Similarly, if the weight is 0.0, only the destination is used. Other weights perform a linear interpolation, so a weight of 0.5 mixes both colors equally. The interpolation applies to each of the HSV components as well as to the transparency. The direction of the interpolation of the hue component is controlled by the current hue direction setting, which may be clockwise or counterclockwise. The direction can be specified by a constructor argument; it defaults to clockwise.

Instantiation:

Allocate on the heap or the stack.

Deriving Classes:

None.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Resource Use:

No special requirements.

Member Function: THSVBlendTransferMode::THSVBlendTransferMode

THSVBlendTransferMode (GIntensity blendWeight, EHueDirection direction =kClockwise)
THSVBlendTransferMode ()
THSVBlendTransferMode (const THSVBlendTransferMode &)

Interface Category:

API.

Purpose:

Constructor used to set the blend weight and hue direction parameters.
Default constructor. Sets the blend weight to 0.5 and the hue direction to kClockwise by default.
Copy constructor.

Calling Context:

Call this function directly.
Called by the stream-in operators. You can also call this constructor directly.
Called to copy an object.

Parameters:

GIntensity blendWeight -The percentage of the source color to use in the blend. A value of 1.0 means all source; 0.0 means all destination; 0.5 means a 50/50 split between source and destination.
EHueDirection direction =kClockwise -The direction of the hue interpolation algorithm: clockwise (default) or counterclockwise.
Takes no parameters.
const THSVBlendTransferMode & -The object to be copied.

Return Value:

None.

Exceptions:

Throws no exceptions, passes all exceptions through.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Other Considerations:

None.

Member Function: THSVBlendTransferMode::~THSVBlendTransferMode

virtual ~ THSVBlendTransferMode ()

Interface Category:

API.

Purpose:

Destructor.

Calling Context:

Called to destroy an object.

Parameters:

Takes no parameters.

Return Value:

None.

Exceptions:

Throws no exceptions, passes all exceptions through.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Other Considerations:

None.

Member Function: THSVBlendTransferMode::GetHueDirection

EHueDirection GetHueDirection () const

Interface Category:

API.

Purpose:

Returns the direction of hue interpolation: clockwise or counterclockwise.

Calling Context:

Call this function directly.

Parameters:

Takes no parameters.

Return Value:

Returns an EHueDirection with the current hue interpolation direction (kClockwise or kCounterClockwise).

Exceptions:

Throws no exceptions, passes all exceptions through.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Other Considerations:

None.

Member Function: THSVBlendTransferMode::GetBlendWeight

GIntensity GetBlendWeight () const

Interface Category:

API.

Purpose:

Returns the relative percentage of the source color to use in the blend. A value of 1.0 means all 100% source. A value of 0.0 means 100% destination. A value of 0.5 means 50% source and 50% destination (equal blending).

Calling Context:

Call this function directly.

Parameters:

Takes no parameters.

Return Value:

A GIntensity object with a value between 0.0 and 1.0.

Exceptions:

Throws no exceptions, passes all exceptions through.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Other Considerations:

None.

virtual void GetResultingColor (const TColor & sourceColor, const TColor & destColor, TColor & resultingColor) const

Interface Category:

API.

Purpose:

Transforms the destination TColor to a color that has each of its components defined as a blend of the source and destination color components. All of the arguments are passed as TColors.

Calling Context:

Call this function directly.

Parameters:

const TColor & sourceColor -The source color to blend.
const TColor & destColor -The destination color to blend.
TColor & resultingColor -The resulting blended color.

Return Value:

None.

Exceptions:

Throws no exceptions, passes all exceptions through.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Other Considerations:

None.

Interface Category:

API.

Purpose:

Transforms the destination THSVColor to a color that has each of its components defined as a blend of the source and destination color components. All of the arguments are passed as THSVColors.

Calling Context:

Call this function directly.

Parameters:

const THSVColor & sourceColor -The source color to blend.
const THSVColor & destColor -The destination color to blend.
THSVColor & resultingColor -The resulting blended color.

Return Value:

None.

Exceptions:
