NAME Graphics::ColorNames - defines RGB values for common color names REQUIREMENTS `Graphics::ColorNames' should work on Perl 5.6.0. It requires the following non-standard modules: Module::Load Installation Installation is pretty standard: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install (On Windows platforms you should use nmake instead.) Using Build.PL (if you have Module::Build installed): perl Build.PL perl Build perl Build test perl Build install SYNOPSIS use Graphics::ColorNames qw( hex2tuple tuple2hex ); tie %NameTable, 'Graphics::ColorNames', 'X'; my $rgbhex1 = $NameTable{'green'}; # returns '00ff00' my $rgbhex2 = tuple2hex( 0, 255, 0 ); # returns '00ff00' my @rgbtup = hex2tuple( $rgbhex ); # returns (0, 255, 0) my $rgbhex3 = $NameTable{'#123abc'}; # returns '123abc' my $rgbhex4 = $NameTable{'123abc'}; # returns '123abc' DESCRIPTION This module defines RGB values for common color names. The intention is to (1) provide a common module that authors can use with other modules to specify colors; and (2) free module authors from having to "re-invent the wheel" whenever they decide to give the users the option of specifying a color by name rather than RGB value. A more detailed description with documentation can be found in the module's POD.
