Hi, I am building a new version of my color picker program in VB2019 (I built a very basic version in VB6). I have successfully converted the RGB values to HSL, but cannot figure out how to convert to HSV.
I get the RGB from sliders which change the value in the appropriate textbox and changes the backcolor of a picturebox accordingly.
The values are to be displayed in seperate textboxes for Hue, Saturation and Value.
Hi Kevin. I've never done this myself, but here's a page I found with a quick Google search that shows the math behind how to get it done: RGB to HSV Color Conversion
I remember the original VB6 app, looking forward to seeing a few screenshots of the new one. I’ve not tested the above links but could be useful to look into a few namespaces, I’d be surprised if there wasn’t already a nuget that would wrap it in a simple API, seems like something people would want to do often in drawing programs.
