How to use

There are two types of objects: Color and ColorMap.

A Color object is defined in RGBA format.

A ColorMap object is an array of Color.

You can retrieve a color with a normalized index between 0 and 1.

Manual palette

Here we generate a palette in 100 steps from red to green to blue.

let colorMap = new jPalette.ColorMap(100, [
  new jPalette.Color(255, 0, 0, 255),
  new jPalette.Color(0, 255, 0, 255),
  new jPalette.Color(0, 0, 255, 255),
]);

// Normalized index between 0 and 1
let color = colorMap.getColor(0.3);

console.log(color);
// Color {r: 105, g: 149, b: 0, a: 255}
console.log(color.rgb());
// Return string for css use:
// rgb(0,206,48)
