ogMDpalette

4D component

Google Material Design colors manager

Introduction

At actual time, the initial 4D color’s management is old (then boring), with a non efficient palette. Data is also stored in a strange way (minus). When discovering the google Material Design palette, I immediately understood that it was a good readable and sensitive way of managing colors.

Then the goal was to convert old databases easily from 4D to MD colors system, and have a efficient way to deal with palette’s choosers, for single and twin colors using dedicated widgets.

This component is dedicated to give you the ability to :

• use SVG drawing for palettes
• convert color / colors between MD / 4D.
• convert colors from / to value and Stroke / Fill.
• convert from RGB to R G B, and HSL.
• utilities for randomize, and operator add.
• different widgets for different user’s needs
• use luxurious palettes for single or double colors, with popup or SVG.
• deal with the transparent color.

This new component name is « ogMDpalette.4dbase ».
