ParseColor

Parses a color string into a color value.

Syntax

ParseColor(color_string: string): string

Parameters

• color_string: string - The color string to parse

Return Value

Returns a string representing the color in hex format (#RRGGBB).

Description

The ParseColor method converts various color string formats into a standardized hex color representation. It supports:

1. Named Colors (e.g., 'clrRed', 'clrBlue')

2. RGB Components (e.g., '255,0,0')

The method recognizes a wide range of predefined color names, including:

• Basic colors (clrRed, clrGreen, clrBlue, etc.)

• Extended colors (clrDarkGreen, clrLightBlue, etc.)

• Web colors (clrAliceBlue, clrCornsilk, etc.)

Example

// Using named colors
const redHex = this.api.ParseColor('clrRed') // Returns '#FF0000'
const blueHex = this.api.ParseColor('clrBlue') // Returns '#0000FF'
const greenHex = this.api.ParseColor('clrDarkGreen') // Returns '#006400'

// Using RGB components
const customRed = this.api.ParseColor('255,0,0') // Returns '#FF0000'
const customBlue = this.api.ParseColor('0,0,255') // Returns '#0000FF'
const gray = this.api.ParseColor('128,128,128') // Returns '#808080'
