# SbColor4f Class Reference

List of all members.

## Detailed Description

The SbColor4f class contains the red, green, blue and alpha components which make up a color value.

This class is used internally within other classes in Coin. It contains a 4 component vector as a position in the RGB cube with an additional transparency value.

The red, green and blue values should be between 0.0 and 1.0, where 0.0 is interpreted as minimum intensity, and 1.0 is maximum intensity. The transparency value is also between 0.0 and 1.0.

SbColor4f contains methods for convenient handling of setting and getting color values as 32 bit packed values or as HSV values.

Note: this class is not part of Open Inventor, but is an extension to the API. Don't use it if you want your code to be compatible with Open Inventor.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SbColor4f::SbColor4f | ( | void |  | ) |

| Default constructor. The color value will be uninitialized until explicitly set.

SbColor4f::SbColor4f | ( | const SbColor & | rgb,
|  | const float | alpha
| ) |

| Construct and initialize an SbColor4f with the red, green and blue components from the SbColor `rgb`, and the alpha value from the supplied `alpha` argument.

SbColor4f::SbColor4f | ( | const SbVec4f & | v | ) |

| Construct and initialize an SbColor4f with the red, green, blue and alpha values given by the `v` vector.

SbColor4f::SbColor4f | ( | const float *const | rgba | ) |

| Construct and initialize an SbColor4f with the red, green, blue and alpha taken from given `rgba` array

SbColor4f::SbColor4f | ( | const float | r,
|  | const float | g,
|  | const float | b,
|  | const float | a = 1.0f
| ) |

| Construct and initialize an SbColor4f with the given red, green, blue and alpha values.

## Member Function Documentation

void SbColor4f::setValue | ( | const float | r,
|  | const float | g,
|  | const float | b,
|  | const float | a = 1.0f
| ) |

| Set a new color.

void SbColor4f::setValue | ( | const float | col[4] | ) |

| Set a new color. The elements of the array will be read in turned as red, green, blue and transparency.

const float * SbColor4f::getValue | ( |  | ) | const

| Return pointer to array of 4 float values representing the red, green, blue and transparency values of the color.

void SbColor4f::getValue | ( | float & | r,
|  | float & | g,
|  | float & | b,
|  | float & | a
| ) |

| Return components of the stored color.

SbColor4f & SbColor4f::setRGB | ( | const SbColor & | col | ) |

| Sets the RGB components of the color. The alpha component is left unchanged.

void SbColor4f::getRGB | ( | SbColor & | color | ) |

| Returns the RGB components of this color.

SbColor4f & SbColor4f::setHSVValue | ( | float | hue,
|  | float | saturation,
|  | float | value,
|  | float | alpha = 1.0f
| ) |

Set the color as a `hue`, `saturation`, `value` triplet. The hue component should be normalized to within [0, 1] before you call this method, where 0 is equal to 0° and 1 is equal to 360°.

  getHSVValue().

SbColor4f & SbColor4f::setHSVValue | ( | const float | hsv[3],
|  | float | a = 1.0f
| ) |

Set the color as a `hue`, `saturation`, `value` triplet. The hue component should be normalized to within [0, 1] before you call this method, where 0 is equal to 0° and 1 is equal to 360°.

  getHSVValue().

void SbColor4f::getHSVValue | ( | float & | h,
|  | float & | s,
|  | float & | v

  setHSVValue().

void SbColor4f::getHSVValue | ( | float | hsv[3] | ) | const

Return the color as a `hue`, `saturation`, `value` triplet. Alpha component is ignored.
