ColorScheme

A color scheme importing library for Processing.

To download the library for use with Processing visit the website.

Features

This allows you to load ColorSchemes in a number of ways:

1. .xml files generated from paletton.com
2. .ase files generated from Adobe products.
3. by passing in an image file.

Usage

To use the library, instantiate a ColorScheme object in your setup() method like so:

ColorScheme colorScheme = new ColorScheme("theFileToLoad.xml", this);

Now you have access to the palette which you can get by calling:

colorScheme.getPalette();

Alternately, you can access a java.util.List of Color objects by calling:

colorScheme.getColors();

The colors can be accessed directly as a List of Integers by calling:

colorScheme.toIntegerArray();

If you prefer to work with primitive arrays. You can get an array of ints by calling:

colorScheme.toArray();

Building the library

There is a script to run maven on the project, generate the documentation, and jar/zip everything up in the target directory.

To run it from the root directory of the project:

./build.sh

Installation

to install the library, unzip the archive in the target folder called ColorScheme.zip in the libraries folder of your Processing sketchbook.
