Conver...::XTerm(3pm)

💅 Convert::Color::XTerm(3pm) — User Contributed Perl Documentation ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for Convert::Color::XTerm, and it's giving "I know every single default color xterm ever ships with" energy. it's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and yes, we're reading a manpage together like it's a group chat. iconic. let's go 🫶

🌈 NAME 🌈

Convert::Color::XTerm — the indexed colors used by XTerm. literally just the color numbers, no vibes-based guesswork. 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

you can use it directly, like this:

use Convert::Color::XTerm;

my $red = Convert::Color::XTerm->new( 1 );

or you can slide in via Convert::Color:

use Convert::Color;

my $cyan = Convert::Color->new( 'xterm:14' );

both paths, both slay. ✨

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this class is a subclass of Convert::Color::RGB8, and what it does is look up the colors that xterm uses by default. 🌸

heads up bestie: this module is not smart enough to actually parse the XTerm config on your machine, and it does not query a running terminal for its real, actual colors. it just implements the colors that show up as the defaults in the XTerm source code. no cap. 💀

what it does do is implement the complete 256-color model in XTerm. that range breaks down like this:

• 0-7: the basic VGA colors, dark intensity. and 7 is a "dark" white — meaning, a light grey. 🙈
• 8-15: the basic VGA colors, light intensity. and 8 represents a "light" black — meaning, a dark grey. 💀
• 16-231: a 6x6x6 RGB color cube.
  • Since version 0.06: this can also be specified as "rgb(R,G,B)" where each of R, G and B can be 0 to 5, or "0%" to "100%".
• 232-255: a 24-step greyscale ramp.
  • Since version 0.06: this can also be specified as "grey(GREY)", where GREY is 0 to 23, or "0%" to "100%".

256 colors, fully accounted for, periodt. 👑
