Welcome to the PLColors Documentation!

Introduction

The PLColors library is a powerful tool for working with colors in iOS and macOS applications. With a wide range of functionality, it allows developers to easily manipulate and manage colors for a visually appealing and user-friendly experience.

Installation

To use the PLColors library in your project, follow these steps:

  • Download the PLColors framework from the official repository.
  • Drag and drop the PLColors.framework file into your Xcode project.
  • Make sure the framework is added to the “Embedded Binaries” section in your project’s settings.
  • Import the PLColors module in your code using:
import PLColors

Usage

The PLColors library provides various features to work with colors:

Create a Color

To create a color, you can use the following methods:

  • RGB Color:
let color = PLColors.rgb(red: 255, green: 0, blue: 0)
  • Hex Color:
let color = PLColors.hex("#FF0000")
  • Random Color:
let color = PLColors.random()

Color Manipulation

The PLColors library allows for easy manipulation of colors:

  • Lighten a Color:
let lighterColor = color.lighten(by: 0.1)
  • Darken a Color:
let darkerColor = color.darken(by: 0.2)
  • Mix Colors:
let mixedColor = color.mix(with: otherColor, ratio: 0.5)

Get Color Information

You can retrieve information about a color using the following methods:

  • Get RGB Values:
let rgb = color.rgb
  • Get Hex Value:
let hex = color.hex

Features

The PLColors library offers these additional features:

  • Color blending
  • Color generation
  • Color interpolation
  • Color schemes
  • Color conversion

Examples

Here are some examples to showcase the functionality of the PLColors library:

Example 1: Generating a Color Scheme

This example demonstrates how to generate a complementary color scheme:

let baseColor = PLColors.hex("#FF0000")
let complementaryColors = baseColor.complementaryScheme()

Example 2: Creating a Gradient

This example shows how to create a gradient between two colors:

let color1 = PLColors.hex("#FF0000")
let color2 = PLColors.hex("#0000FF")
let gradient = PLColors.gradient(startColor: color1, endColor: color2, numberOfSteps: 10)

Example 3: Convert Color Space

In this example, we convert a color from RGB to HSL color space:

let rgbColor = PLColors.rgb(red: 255, green: 0, blue: 0)
let hslColor = rgbColor.toHSL()

Conclusion

The PLColors library enables developers to efficiently work with colors in their iOS and macOS applications. With its extensive functionality, users can easily manipulate colors, generate color schemes, and perform various color conversions.
