Re: converting color value to rgb Reply #1 - Dec 31st, 2008, 11:53pm   There's the built in ways: Code: color c=get(200,200); println("Red:"+red(c)+" Green:"+green(c)+" Blue:"+blue(c)); This takes into account the colour mode etc and gives you results relative to whatever settings you have. But it's not the fastest way of getting the values if you're checking a lot of pixels. The quick way, gives values from 0..255 regardless of the colorMode. Code: color c=get(200,200); int r=(c>>16)&255; int g=(c>>8)&255; ing b=c&255;
