[Visualpython-users] colorsysts module

[Bruce P. <bap...@te...>]

Attached is a module colorsysts.py that some may find useful.
This combines and extends a couple of modules that are already available
       the functionality includes
         the original colorsys module for transforming among color 
coordinate systems
         a named colors function to provide a wide range of color names
         a color interpolation module
The last requires some explanation: I've found that mapping real valued 
variables onto a color space (say through Hue in a HSL space) is less than 
satisfactory -- the color mappings are not linear and the eye doesn't 
respond linearly either. The color interpolation function maps continuous 
values onto discrete sets of colors (3,4,5,8 or 11 values ) This provides a 
much more distinguishable response.
