Package Exports

color-interpolate

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (color-interpolate) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

color-interpolate

For a given palette, return color by any float index. Useful for interpolating colormaps, color palettes or gradients.

Usage

const interpolate = require('color-interpolate');

let colormap = interpolate(['black', 'gray', 'white']);
let black = colormap(0); // 'rgb(0, 0, 0)'
let white = colormap(1); // 'rgb(255, 255, 255)'
let gray = colormap(.5); // 'rgb(128, 128, 128)'

API

`let palette = require('color-interpolate')(colors)`

Create interpolator from a list of colors. Colors can be in any format: CSS color string, array with RGB channel values, object with r, g, b or h, s, l channel values or even a number, see color-parse for reference.

`let color = palette(index, fn?)`

Get interpolated color from palette by index value within 0..1 range. Pass optional fn interpolation function, by default lerp is used, but smoothstep can be used as an alternative.

Example:

const palettes = require('nice-color-palettes')
const palette = require('color-interpolate')(palettes[32])

let activeColor = palette(.2) // 'rgb(51, 23 47)'
let background = palette(1) // 'rgb(255, 255, 255)'
let foreground = palette(0) // 'rgb(0, 0, 0)'
