Interop with System.Drawing.Color

Terminaux's Color meets System.Drawing's Color!

Since Terminaux 2.5.0, we've introduced a new way to interact with System.Drawing's Color struct! You can find all the tools in the SystemColorConverter class under Terminaux.Colors.Interop. The Color struct from System.Drawing represents the four color components:

• Alpha (A): Color opaqueness level. 0% means 100% transparency.

• Red (R): Red color level.

• Green (G): Green color level.

• Blue (B): Blue color level.

Terminaux doesn't translate the Alpha component of System.Drawing's Color instances. Therefore, they're always assumed to be 255 (100% opaque) during the conversion process, which means that the relationship between the two colors is not 1:1 after the conversion as all transparency is lost.

This is a limitation in Terminaux's part and will hopefully be solved as soon as possible.

This class provides the following functions:

SystemColorConverter.cs

public static OurColor FromDrawingColor(DrawingColor drawingColor)
public static DrawingColor ToDrawingColor(OurColor ourColor)

Depending on your use-case, the two functions are appropriate when:

• you're looking to make an instance of Terminaux's Color from System.Drawing.Color instance. In this situation, you'll have to use the FromDrawingColor() function.

• you're looking to make an instance of System.Drawing's Color from Terminaux's Color instance. In this situation, you'll have to use the ToDrawingColor() function.

This is useful if you're interacting with applications that use System.Drawing's Color.
