This page documents a user-defined function that you can copy and paste into your addon. Replace PREFIX with your addon or lib prefix to avoid conflicts between different versions of these functions.
Converts a percent value into a gradient from 2 or more RGB percent values (0.0-1.0). If more than 2 colors are passed, the gradient will be between the two colors which perc lies in an evenly divided range.
local function ColorGradient(perc, ...)
local num = select("#", ...) / 3
if perc >= 1 then
local r, g, b = select(num*3-2, ...)
return r, g, b
elseif perc <= 0 then
local r, g, b = ...
return r, g, b
end
local segment, relperc = math.modf(perc*(num-1))
local r1, g1, b1, r2, g2, b2 = select((segment*3)+1, ...)
return r1 + (r2-r1)*relperc, g1 + (g2-g1)*relperc, b1 + (b2-b1)*relperc
end
Example
For this example we'll use 3 colors: red, yellow and green. For a percent value of 0.75 we'd expect to get back a color that's halfway between yellow and green. 0.5 would yield pure yellow, 0.25 would yield an orange.
local r,g,b = ColorGradient(0.75, 1,0,0, 1,1,0, 0,1,0) -- r = 0.5, g = 1.0, b = 0.0
