GSDP:GAM100/CProcessing/CP Color Lerp()

CP_Color_Lerp()

Description

Linearly interpolate (lerp) between two given CP_Color inputs using an interpolation factor from 0.0 to 1.0. Returns the newly computed color.

The calculation applied to each component of the color:

new_color = (1.0f - lerp_factor) * a + lerp_factor * b;

Parameters

CP_Color_Lerp(CP_Color a, CP_Color b, float lerp_factor)

• a - (CP_Color) the base color to lerp from. The return value is a when lerp_factor = 0.0
• b - (CP_Color) the end color to lerp to. The return values is b when lerp_factor = 1.0
• lerp_factor - (float) the value between 0.0 and 1.0 used to linearly interpolate from a to b

Example

void update()
{
    // Create colors for the four corners of the screen
    CP_Color red = CP_Color_Create(255, 0, 0, 255);
    CP_Color green = CP_Color_Create(0, 255, 0, 255);
    CP_Color blue = CP_Color_Create(0, 0, 255, 255);
    CP_Color white = CP_Color_Create(255, 255, 255, 255);
    
    // Get the mouse position relative to the canvas
    float mx = (float)CP_Input_GetMouseWorldX() / (float)CP_System_GetCanvasWidth();
    float my = (float)CP_Input_GetMouseWorldY() / (float)CP_System_GetCanvasHeight();
    
    // Clamp the values
    mx = CP_Math_ClampFloat(mx, 0.0f, 1.0f);
    my = CP_Math_ClampFloat(my, 0.0f, 1.0f);
    
    // Lerp the colors based on position along the x-axis
    CP_Color lerpx1 = CP_Color_Lerp(red, blue, mx);
    CP_Color lerpx2 = CP_Color_Lerp(green, white, mx);
    
    // Lerp the two previous colors based on y-axis position
    CP_Color lerp = CP_Color_Lerp(lerpx1, lerpx2, my);
    
    // Set the background based on the lerp
    CP_Settings_Background(lerp);
}
