   double *L
);

Parameters

Parameter

Description

[in] rgb

The color in RGB values.

[out] H

Remarks

A color can be represented as HSV (hue, saturation, and value), HSL (hue, saturation, and luminosity), or RGB (red, green, and blue). For more information about the different representations of color, see Color.

The returned value for H is represented as a fraction between 0 and 1 where both 0 and 1 represent red. The returned values for S and L are numbers between 0 and 1.
