Hello,
I don't know if this has been fixed recently, but in the Elevation
class, generate() method, there is a "break" missing in the switch
statement, for color channel "b".
Also, in the "av" channel equation, I am not sure if this is correct:
cha = ((color >> 16 & 0xFF)*0.212671) + ((color >> 8 & 0xFF)*0.715160)
+ ((color >> 8 & 0xFF)*0.072169);
I think it the blue channel portion should be:
cha = ((color >> 16 & 0xFF)*0.212671) + ((color >> 8 & 0xFF)*0.715160)
+ ((color >> 0xFF)*0.072169);
(Or is that even the blue channel?)
Finally, I would like to submit my re-working of this class for some
minor speed improvements. I have added a generateAverage() method,
since that is the odd one, and removed the switch and inline-if from
inside the for-loop. Also, I have set up the channel bit references
and multipliers as private static const's. These might be moved to a
public static const in a base class, and used elsewhere as needed,
too.
Entire Elevation class follows:
