ColorHSLDistance Method

Calculates the 'distance' of two HSL colors

Namespace: Eto.Drawing
Assembly: Eto (in Eto.dll) Version: 2.5.3-dev

Syntax

public static float Distance(
	ColorHSL value1,
	ColorHSL value2
)

Public Shared Function Distance ( 
	value1 As ColorHSL,
	value2 As ColorHSL
) As Single

static member Distance : 
        value1 : ColorHSL * 
        value2 : ColorHSL -> float32

Parameters

value1: Type: Eto.DrawingColorHSL
First color to compare
value2: Type: Eto.DrawingColorHSL
Second color to compare

Return Value

Type: Single
The overall distance/difference between the two colours. A lower value indicates a closer match

Remarks

This is useful for comparing two different color values to determine if they are similar. The HSL comparison algorithm, while not essentially accurate, gives a good representation of like-colours to the human eye. This method of calculating distance is preferred over the other methods (RGB, CMYK, HSB)
