$rgb converts between R,G,B vs color-number, or returns system colors.
Synopsis[edit]
$rgb( <R,G,B> | <N> | <SystemColorName> )
Parameters[edit]
- Method#1 - Converting R,G,B to single RGB Color Number
R Red Color intensity from 0-255
G Green Color intensity from 0-255
B Blue Color intensity from 0-255
- Method#2 - Converting Color Number to R,G,B
N Decimal RGB Color Number from 0 through 2^24-1
- Method#3 - Return RGB Color Number for System Color Settings
SystemColorName Must be a name from the following list: face, shadow, hilight, 3dlight, frame, and text, and returns an RGB color value.
Properties[edit]
None
Example[edit]
//echo -a The RGB color number for #7 (olive) is $color(7) with R,G,B values $rgb($color(7)) ; The RGB color number for #7 (olive) is 32764 with R,G,B values 252,127,0 //echo -a $color(7) converted to hex is $base($color(7),10,16,6) which shows mIRC's RGB color number is actually combined as B,G,R ; 32764 converted to hex is 007FFC which shows mIRC's RGB color number is actually combined as B,G,R
- If you want to get the RGB number for color Goldenrod, which is RGB color #DAA520, you can use $rgb to convert the 3 RGB 0-255 numbers into the single 24-bit decimal number
//var %c DAA520 | echo -a $base($left(%c,2),16,10,2) $base($mid(%c,3,2),16,10,2) $base($right(%c,2),16,10,2) //var %c DAA520 | echo -a $rgb( $base($left(%c,2),16,10,2) , $base($mid(%c,3,2),16,10,2) , $base($right(%c,2),16,10,2) ) ; converts 218,165,32 into 2139610 by using $calc(32*65536 + 165*256 + 218*1 )
- RGB can also return the 24-bit RGB decimal number for system color names
//var %i 1 | var %list face shadow hilight 3dlight frame text | while (%i isnum 1-6) { var %n $gettok(%list,%i,32) | echo -a system color for %n is $rgb(%n) or $rgb( $rgb(%n) ) | inc %i }
