Method Detail

interpolate

public java.awt.Color interpolate(java.awt.Color a,
                                  java.awt.Color b,
                                  float mixing)

Interpolates to a color between a and b

Specified by:

interpolate in interface ColorInterpolator

Parameters:

a - First color

b - Second color

mixing - Mixing coefficient; the fraction of a in the result.

Returns:

The color between a and b

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if mixing is not between 0 and 1

setColorSpace

public void setColorSpace(java.awt.color.ColorSpace colorSpace,
                          LinearColorInterpolator.InterpolationDirection[] dir)

Sets the ColorSpace to use for interpolation. The most common scheme for color spaces is to use linear components between 0 and 1 (for instance red,green,blue). For such a component, a linear interpolation between two colors is used. Sometimes a component may be in cylindrical coordinates. In this case, the component can be mapped in a number of ways. These are set by InterpolationDirections.

Parameters:

colorSpace - The color space for interpolation

interpDirection - An array of size colorSpace.getNumComponents() giving the interpolation direction for each component.
