How to work with "get" function?

djevazi

I'm trying to get the color of pixel, and "get" function returns me something like "-5526613", how to convert this value into something like "color(150,160,255,0)", or maybe even in simple grayscale value from 0 to 255 ?

After reading up on the color datatype, look under the Color > Creating & Reading area of the Reference for how to get values such as:

• alpha()
• blue()
• brightness()
• green()
• hue()
• red()
• saturation()

...but keep in mind that what get() returns is a color. So you can set(c) another pixel with it, pass it to background(c), mix it with another color using lerpColor(c, c2) etc. etc. And if you want to print it:

println(red(c), green(c), blue(c));
