Struct Alpha8

Namespace

Egami.Pixels

Assembly

Egami.dll

A pixel with one 8-bit alpha channel: a mask, or glyph coverage. As a color it is black with that alpha; converting a color to it keeps only the alpha, so a type without alpha gives 255.

Constructors

Alpha8(byte)

Initializes a new instance of the Alpha8 struct.

public Alpha8(byte a)

Parameters

a byte

The alpha channel.

Fields

A

The alpha channel.

public byte A

Field Value

byte

Properties

Layout

Gets the memory layout of this pixel type.

public static PixelLayoutInfo Layout { get; }

Property Value

PixelLayoutInfo

Methods

Equals(Alpha8)

Indicates whether the current object is equal to another object of the same type.

public readonly bool Equals(Alpha8 other)

Parameters

other Alpha8

An object to compare with this object.

Returns

bool

true if the current object is equal to the other parameter; otherwise, false.

Equals(object?)

Indicates whether this instance and a specified object are equal.

public override readonly bool Equals(object? obj)

Parameters

obj object

The object to compare with the current instance.

Returns

bool

true if obj and this instance are the same type and represent the same value; otherwise, false.

FromRgba8(Rgba8)

Creates a pixel from an 8-bit color. The conversion is exact wherever the type can hold the color. Gray types take the Rec. 709 luma, weighted in linear light. Types without alpha drop it.

public static Alpha8 FromRgba8(Rgba8 value)

Parameters

value Rgba8

The color.

Returns

Alpha8

The pixel.

FromScaled(Vector4)

Creates a pixel from red, green, blue and alpha scaled to 0..1, with straight alpha. Values outside 0..1 are clamped and NaN becomes 0. Gray types take the Rec. 709 luma of the color, weighted in linear light. Types without alpha drop it.

public static Alpha8 FromScaled(Vector4 rgba)

Parameters

rgba Vector4

The color, with each channel scaled to 0..1.

Returns

Alpha8

The nearest pixel of this type.

GetHashCode()

Returns the hash code for this instance.

public override readonly int GetHashCode()

Returns

int

A 32-bit signed integer that is the hash code for this instance.

ToRgba8()

Returns the pixel as an 8-bit color. 16-bit channels are rounded to the nearest 8-bit value, and gray is copied to red, green and blue.

public readonly Rgba8 ToRgba8()

Returns

Rgba8

The 8-bit color.

ToScaled()

Returns red, green, blue and alpha scaled to 0..1. Types without alpha return an alpha of 1.

public readonly Vector4 ToScaled()

Returns

Vector4

The scaled color.

ToString()

Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance.

public override readonly string ToString()

Returns

string

The fully qualified type name.

Operators

operator ==(Alpha8, Alpha8)

Returns a value indicating whether two pixels are equal.

public static bool operator ==(Alpha8 left, Alpha8 right)

Parameters

left Alpha8

The first pixel.

right Alpha8

The second pixel.

Returns

bool

true if the alpha is equal.

operator !=(Alpha8, Alpha8)

Returns a value indicating whether two pixels differ.

public static bool operator !=(Alpha8 left, Alpha8 right)

Parameters

left Alpha8

The first pixel.

right Alpha8

The second pixel.

Returns

bool

true if the alpha differs.
