HSV: Create HSV Colors

Description

This function creates colors of class HSV; a subclass of the virtual color-class class.

Usage

HSV(H, S, V, names)

Arguments

H, S, V

These arguments give the hue, saturation and value of the colors. The values can be provided in separate H, S and V vectors or in a three-column matrix passed as H.

names

A vector of names for the colors (by default the row names of H are used).

Value

An object of class HSV which inherits from class color.

Details

This function creates colors in an HSV color space. The hues should lie between between 0 and 360, and the saturations and values should lie between 0 and 1.

HSV is a relative color space; it is a transformation of an RGB color space. Conversion of HSV colors to any other color space must first involve a conversion to a specific RGB color space, for example the standard sRGB color space (IEC standard 61966).
