Super QUICK Question. How do you store the RGB values in a simple variable?

I just need to store the Red, Green, and Blue values in separate variables so I can manipulate them independently. Can you tell me how to do this really quick please...

Thanks!

Thanks for your quick reply.

Yes, I actually read that from the manual, but I can't actually store the variables.

Do you have a quick and dirty code sample in written form of how to do this?

Thanks so much kind sir!!!!!!

To make it more clear:

I want to dynamically change each of the three RGB values seperately.

I'm just trying to figure out how to store RGB(r, , ) in a variable and the same for the 'g' and 'b'.

I want to dynamically change each of the three RGB values seperately.

Make 3 variables, for example: myR, myG, myB and put they in the rgb expression.

rgb(myR, myG, myB), now you can put the rgb expression where you want and alter each variable separately

.

If this is not what you want, could you provide an example what you want to achieve.

Perfect!

So how do you put RGB(r, , ) -->> into "myR".

What's the code to actually store that variable?

I don’t recall exactly. You’d have to look at the source or test it. But if you created a color with for example:

Set color to rgb(12, 33, 177)

“Color” would be a single number with the three colors packed in.

Then you could get individual color components from that number with

Red = color%256

Green =int( color/256)%256

Blue = int(color/256/256)%256

There may also be expressions to help with that but I haven’t checked.
