HSL 1.0.3

HSL conversion tools

HSL project

Why installing HSL :

This library offers fast conversion tools such as (HSL to RGB ) and (RGB to HSL) 
ported into cython for better performances 

Project description :

Conversions between color systems (cython library)
This module defines bidirectional conversions of color values between colors
expressed in the RGB (Red Green Blue) color space used in computer monitors and three
HLS (Hue Lightness Saturation).

Installation

pip install HSL

How to?

from HSL.hsl import rgb_to_hsl, hsl_to_rgb

if __name__ == '__main__':
    ONE_255 = 1.0 / 255.0
    r, g, b = 25, 60, 128
    print("\nOriginal RGB values (R:%s, G:%s, B:%s)\n" % (r, g, b))
    
    h, s, l = rgb_to_hsl(r * ONE_255, g * ONE_255, b * ONE_255)
    
    print("HSL values (H:%s, S:%s, L:%s)" % (h * 360.0, s * 100.0, l * 100.0))
    
    r, g, b = hsl_to_rgb(h, s, l)
    
    print("Retrieved RGB values (R:%s, G:%s, B:%s)\n" % (r * 255.0, g * 255.0, b * 255.0))

Building cython code

If you need to compile the Cython code after changing the files hsl.pyx or hsl.pxd or
the external C code please proceed as follow:

1) open a terminal window
2) Go in the main project directory where (hsl.pyx & hsl.pxd files are located)
3) run : python setup_hsl.py build_ext --inplace

If you have to compile the code with a specific python version, make sure
to reference the right python version in (c:\python setup_hsl.py build_ext --inplace)

If the compilation fail, refers to the requirement section and make sure cython
and a C-compiler are correctly install on your system.
- A compiler such visual studio, MSVC, CGYWIN setup correctly on your system.
  - a C compiler for windows (Visual Studio, MinGW etc) install on your system
  and linked to your windows environment.
  Note that some adjustment might be needed once a compiler is install on your system,
  refer to external documentation or tutorial in order to setup this process.
