hsvrgb

Converts HSV color values to RGB.

Available in version 5.0.0 and later.

Prototype

	function hsvrgb (
		hsv  : numeric   
	)

	return_val  :  numeric

Arguments

An array of values in the Hue, Saturation, Value (HSV) color space. This array can be of any shape, but the rightmost dimension must be 3 for specifying the HSV values. The Hue values must be in the range [0.,360.), and the Saturation and Value values in the range [0.,1.]. A Hue of 0. corresponds to RGB red (1.,0.,0.).

Return value

The returned value is an array of the same dimension and dimension sizes as the input array. The input HSV values will have been replaced with their Red, Green, Blue (RGB) equivalents. If any values in the input array are double precision, the returned array will be double precision.

Description

This function determines the RGB equivalents to HSV color values.

The returned Red, Green, and Blue values will be in the range [0.,1.].

For sample color wheels illustrating HSV colors see example color_18 on the Color Fill page.

For a complete description of the algorithm see:

Missing values are not honored.

This routine is essentially the same as hsv2rgb, but with a different interface. It is written to be consistent with the other color conversion routines.
