Methods

GetColorsInHueFamily(GeoColor, Int32)

This method returns a collection of GeoColors based on the same hue that is passed in.

public static Collection<GeoColor> GetColorsInHueFamily(GeoColor baseColor, int numbersOfColors)

Parameters

baseColor GeoColor
This parameter is the color on which you want to base the color collection.

numbersOfColors Int32

        This parameter represents the number of colors you want returned from the
        method.

Returns

Collection<GeoColor>

        This method returns a collection of GeoColors based on the same hue that is
        passed in.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException
If you pass in a numberOfColors value that is not between 1 and 255, it will throw a ArgumentOutOfRangeException.

Remarks:

This method is useful when you want to get a number of colors that have the same hue. For example, you can use this in maps that represent class breaks. If you passed in a red hue, then the method would return variations such as light red, dark red, pastel red, etc.

GetColorsInQualityFamily(GeoColor, Int32)

This method returns a collection of GeoColors based on the same quality (luminosity and saturation) that is passed in.

public static Collection<GeoColor> GetColorsInQualityFamily(GeoColor baseColor, int numberOfColors)

Parameters

baseColor GeoColor
This parameter is the color on which you want to base the color collection.

numberOfColors Int32

        This parameter represents the number of colors you want returned from the
        method.

Returns

Collection<GeoColor>

        This method returns a collection of GeoColors based on the same quality (luminosity and saturation) that is
        passed in.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException
If you pass in a numberOfColors value that is not between 1 and 255, it will throw a ArgumentOutOfRangeException.

Remarks:

This method is useful when you want to get a number of different colors that have the same quality. For example, you can use this in maps that represent countries or connected places. If you passed in bright red, then the method would return variants such as bright blue, bright green, etc. If you passed in dark red, you would get dark blue, dark green, etc.
