pods::...alette(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

pods::...alette(3pm) from User Contributed Perl Documentation is here to introduce SDL::Palette — literally the Color palette for 8-bit pixel formats. slay. ✨

🌈 CATEGORY 🌈

Core, Video, Structure — that's the category lineup, bestie. No cap.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so picture this: each pixel in an 8-bit surface is an index into the colors field of the SDL::Palette object stored in its SDL::PixelFormat. No cap. A SDL::Palette gets created automatically when SDL allocates a SDL::PixelFormat for a surface — SDL handles the setup, you just vibe. This class has methods for returning the colors in a palette object. Wanna set the colors? That's SDL::Video::set_colors and SDL::Video::set_palette, periodt.

🎀 METHODS 🎀

The methods are giving utility, let's go:

💅 ncolors

$ncolors = $palette->ncolors();

Returns the number of colors in the palette. Simple as that.

🦋 colors

@colors = @{ $palette->colors() };

Returns an array, ncolors in length, of the SDL::Colors in the palette. Obsessed with a tidy array.

🌸 color_index

$color = $palette->color_index( $index );

Returns the SDL::Color at the provided index of the palette. iykyk.
