PaletteGrayscale4(Color32, Boolean, Byte) Method

Gets a Palette instance that uses a grayscale palette of 4 shades.
See the Remarks section of the PredefinedColorsQuantizer.Grayscale4 method for details and some examples.

Definition

Namespace: KGySoft.Drawing.Imaging
Assembly: KGySoft.Drawing.Core (in KGySoft.Drawing.Core.dll) Version: 9.1.1
C#
public static Palette Grayscale4(
	Color32 backColor = default,
	bool directMapping = false,
	byte alphaThreshold = 128
)

Parameters

backColor  Color32  (Optional)
Specifies the background color for lookup operations (GetNearestColor, GetNearestColorIndex). When a lookup is performed with a color, whose Color32.A field is equal to or greater than alphaThreshold, then the color to be found will be blended with this color before performing the lookup. The Color32.A field of the background color is ignored. This parameter is optional.
Default value: The default value of the Color32 type, which has the same RGB values as Color.Black.
directMapping  Boolean  (Optional)
to map any color directly to an index instead of searching for a nearest color, which is very fast but may end up in a result of a bit higher contrast than the original image; to perform a lookup to determine nearest colors, which may be slower but more accurate. This parameter is optional.
Default value: .
alphaThreshold  Byte  (Optional)
Specifies a threshold value for the Color32.A field, under which a quantized color is considered completely transparent. Though the palette returned from this method does not contain alpha colors, it can be relevant in some cases, for example when drawing a partially transparent bitmap onto a solid background with a quantizer using this palette. The source pixels, whose alpha value is below the alphaThreshold will be skipped, whereas alpha pixels with higher opacity will be blended with the specified backColor. This parameter is optional.
Default value: 128.

Return Value

Palette
A Palette instance that uses a grayscale palette of 4 shades.
