programmatic equivalents of string constructors e.g. rgba

[jslz]

There's Color.rgb(255,255,255,0.5) which doesn't use strings, but I guess there's no Color.rgba()? Should there be non-string-parsing versions of things?

I'm not sure what you mean. The main constructor accepts strings:

new Color('rgba(10, 150, 45, 0.2)')

And Color.rgb(r, g, b, a=1.0) is just a static factory method.

What are you trying to achieve?

hi, thanks, sorry for being unclear -- it confused me that Color.rgba() is not a function at all, but Color.rgb() is. Doing Color.rgb().alpha() is weird to my eyes. Dunno if that explains it any better. Basically if there's a constructor via strings, I'd expect there to be an equivalent pure-code non-string-parsing based version. I'm led to expect this since Color.rgb() exists, I think.

The following should do what you're intending:

new Color({r: 10, g: 150, b: 45, alpha: 0.2});

// or

new Color([10, 150, 45, 0.2], 'rgb');

I realize now that the makeover didn't include docs. Not sure why I did that.

I do agree somewhat that the last optional value in the constructors should be an alpha value. I'll consider this for an enhancement. Thanks for bringing it up :)

[jslz]

thanks, cool.

Going to keep this open so I can modify the static constructors :) You're right in that they should accept alpha.

The constructors accept alpha, so perhaps this is just an issue with docs - in which case, I'm going to close in favor of #181. Please correct me if I'm mistaken somehow.
