Color

java.lang.Object
- java.awt.Color

All Implemented Interfaces:

Paint, Transparency, Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ColorUIResource, SystemColor
```
public class Color
extends Object
implements Paint, Serializable
```
The Color class is used to encapsulate colors in the default sRGB color space or colors in arbitrary color spaces identified by a ColorSpace. Every color has an implicit alpha value of 1.0 or an explicit one provided in the constructor. The alpha value defines the transparency of a color and can be represented by a float value in the range 0.0 - 1.0 or 0 - 255. An alpha value of 1.0 or 255 means that the color is completely opaque and an alpha value of 0 or 0.0 means that the color is completely transparent. When constructing a Color with an explicit alpha or getting the color/alpha components of a Color, the color components are never premultiplied by the alpha component.
The default color space for the Java 2D(tm) API is sRGB, a proposed standard RGB color space. For further information on sRGB, see http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Graphics/Color/sRGB.html .

  - HSBtoRGB
```
public static int HSBtoRGB(float hue,
           float saturation,
           float brightness)
```
    Converts the components of a color, as specified by the HSB model, to an equivalent set of values for the default RGB model.
    The saturation and brightness components should be floating-point values between zero and one (numbers in the range 0.0-1.0). The hue component can be any floating-point number. The floor of this number is subtracted from it to create a fraction between 0 and 1. This fractional number is then multiplied by 360 to produce the hue angle in the HSB color model.
    The integer that is returned by HSBtoRGB encodes the value of a color in bits 0-23 of an integer value that is the same format used by the method getRGB. This integer can be supplied as an argument to the Color constructor that takes a single integer argument.
    
    Parameters:
    hue - the hue component of the color
    saturation - the saturation of the color
    brightness - the brightness of the color
    
    Returns:
    the RGB value of the color with the indicated hue, saturation, and brightness.

```
    Converts the components of a color, as specified by the default RGB model, to an equivalent set of values for hue, saturation, and brightness that are the three components of the HSB model.
    If the hsbvals argument is null, then a new array is allocated to return the result. Otherwise, the method returns the array hsbvals, with the values put into that array.
    
    Parameters:
    r - the red component of the color
    g - the green component of the color
    b - the blue component of the color
    hsbvals - the array used to return the three HSB values, or null

```
public float[] getRGBColorComponents(float[] compArray)
```
    Returns a float array containing only the color components of the Color, in the default sRGB color space. If compArray is null, an array of length 3 is created for the return value. Otherwise, compArray must have length 3 or greater, and it is filled in with the components and returned.
    
    Parameters:
    compArray - an array that this method fills with color components and returns
    
    Returns:
    the RGB components in a float array.
  - getComponents
```
public float[] getComponents(float[] compArray)
```
    Returns a float array containing the color and alpha components of the Color, in the ColorSpace of the Color. If compArray is null, an array with length equal to the number of components in the associated ColorSpace plus one is created for the return value. Otherwise, compArray must have at least this length and it is filled in with the components and returned.
    
    Parameters:
    compArray - an array that this method fills with the color and alpha components of this Color in its ColorSpace and returns
    
    Returns:
    the color and alpha components in a float array.
  - getColorComponents
```
public float[] getColorComponents(float[] compArray)
```
    Returns a float array containing only the color components of the Color, in the ColorSpace of the Color. If compArray is null, an array with length equal to the number of components in the associated ColorSpace is created for the return value. Otherwise, compArray must have at least this length and it is filled in with the components and returned.
    
    Parameters:
    compArray - an array that this method fills with the color components of this Color in its ColorSpace and returns
    
    Returns:
    the color components in a float array.

```
public float[] getComponents(ColorSpace cspace,
                    float[] compArray)
```
    Returns a float array containing the color and alpha components of the Color, in the ColorSpace specified by the cspace parameter. If compArray is null, an array with length equal to the number of components in cspace plus one is created for the return value. Otherwise, compArray must have at least this length, and it is filled in with the components and returned.
    
    Parameters:
    cspace - a specified ColorSpace
    compArray - an array that this method fills with the color and alpha components of this Color in the specified ColorSpace and returns
    
    Returns:
    the color and alpha components in a float array.

```
public float[] getColorComponents(ColorSpace cspace,
                         float[] compArray)
```
    Returns a float array containing only the color components of the Color in the ColorSpace specified by the cspace parameter. If compArray is null, an array with length equal to the number of components in cspace is created for the return value. Otherwise, compArray must have at least this length, and it is filled in with the components and returned.
    
    Parameters:
    cspace - a specified ColorSpace
    compArray - an array that this method fills with the color components of this Color in the specified ColorSpace
    
    Returns:
    the color components in a float array.
  - getColorSpace
```
public ColorSpace getColorSpace()
```
    Returns the ColorSpace of this Color.
    
    Returns:
    this Color object's ColorSpace.
  - createContext
```
public PaintContext createContext(ColorModel cm,
                         Rectangle r,
                         Rectangle2D r2d,
                         AffineTransform xform,
                         RenderingHints hints)
```
    Creates and returns a PaintContext used to generate a solid color field pattern. See the specification of the method in the Paint interface for information on null parameter handling.
    
    Specified by:
    
    createContext in interface Paint
    
    Parameters:
    cm - the preferred ColorModel which represents the most convenient format for the caller to receive the pixel data, or null if there is no preference.
    r - the device space bounding box of the graphics primitive being rendered.
    r2d - the user space bounding box of the graphics primitive being rendered.
    xform - the AffineTransform from user space into device space.
    hints - the set of hints that the context object can use to choose between rendering alternatives.
    
    Returns:
    the PaintContext for generating color patterns.
    See Also:
    Paint, PaintContext, ColorModel, Rectangle, Rectangle2D, AffineTransform, RenderingHints
  - getTransparency
```
public int getTransparency()
```
    Returns the transparency mode for this Color. This is required to implement the Paint interface.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getTransparency in interface Transparency
    
    Returns:
    this Color object's transparency mode.
