Re: binary vs unbinary Reply #1 - Mar 16th, 2009, 1:33pm   It is probably a bug. Your code works fine with color(0,0,0,0x7F); ie. high bit at 0. It has probably a relation with the fact that ints in Java are signed. Code: color c = color(0,0,0,0xFF); println(c); String sss = binary(c, 32); println(sss); String hb = sss.substring(0, 1); int val = unbinary(sss.substring(1)); if (hb.equals("1")) val -= MAX_INT + 1; println(val); A related thread: Re: Eclipse, Color, and Hex Codes.
