Color
Shapes can exhibit different colors. And just like the other transformations, adding color to a shape produces a new shape, i.e. one with color.
let myshape = colorize([1, 0, 0], sphere()) // RGB red let myshape = colorize([1, 0.5, 0.3], sphere()) // color let myshape = colorize([1, 0.5, 0.3, 0.6], sphere()) // color plus alpha transparency
Note: There are known issues with transparency, and depending on the order of colors, objects may not seem transparent. Try different 'alpha' values or colors.
Color Space Conversion
There are several functions to convert between color spaces, including color names.
let wildcylinder = colorize(colorNameToRgb('fuchsia'), cylinder()) let bluesphere = colorize(hexToRgb('#000080'), sphere()) // navy blue let mysphere = colorize(hslToRgb([0.9166666666666666, 1, 0.5]), sphere()) let mysphere = colorize(hsvToRgb([0.9166666666666666, 1, 1]), sphere())
