Color.GetBrightness Method

Definition

Gets the hue-saturation-lightness (HSL) lightness value for this Color structure.

public:
 float GetBrightness();
public float GetBrightness ();
member this.GetBrightness : unit -> single
Public Function GetBrightness () As Single

Returns

The lightness of this Color. The lightness ranges from 0.0 through 1.0, where 0.0 represents black and 1.0 represents white.

Examples

The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code performs the following actions:

  • Creates an instance of a Color structure, redShade, to be used for comparisons.

  • Iterates through the KnownColor enumeration elements to find all known colors that have the same lightness as redShade. The iterations are terminated when 15 matches are found or the value of the loop counter is greater than the last KnownColor element.

  • During each iteration, saves the KnownColor element - if it matches the criteria - in an array.

  • Uses a brush to paint rectangles.

The first rectangle is painted the color represented by redShade. Each of the other rectangles is painted a KnownColor that matches the lightness of the redShade.
