Generate a color palette from a UIImage.
Other color palette generators will only give you a list of the dominant colors in an image. Vibrant does much more.
Now I know what you're thinking: "But Bryce, colors from an image! That's what I want! That's why I'm on your repository in the first place!"
Well I've got news for you: swift-vibrant (or node-vibrant, if you use JavaScript. No affiliation but that's what this project is based off of) will not only give you the dominant colors in an image, oh no. It will also give you a fully featured palette. What's the difference you might ask?
It provides:
- A Vibrant Color (Duh)
- A Muted Color
- A Dark Vibrant Color
- A Dark Muted Color
- A Light Vibrant Color
- A Light Muted Color
As well as 2 different text colors for each of the above that look good on the color they're designed for.
Don't believe me? There's a 100% money back guarantee! (Just kidding, it's MIT licensed aka free for your use).
swift-vibrant is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
pod 'swift-vibrant'
import swiftVibrant
let image = UIImage(named: "name_of_image")
// Calling from a background thread
Vibrant.from(image).getPalette({ palette in
// do stuff with your palette
})
// Calling in main thread
Vibrant.from(image).getPalette()
/// do stuff with your palette here
// Using constructor
let v = Vibrant(image, Vibrant.Options)
v.getPalette({ palette in
// do stuff with your palette
})
Main class of swift-vibrant
.
Make a Builder
for an image. Returns a Builder
instance.
Name | Description |
---|---|
image |
Your UIImage instance |
opts |
Options (optional) |
public struct Options {
var colorCount: Int = 64
var quality: Int = 5
var quantizer: Quantizer.quantizer
var generator: Generator.generator
var maxDimension: CGFloat?
var filters: [Filter]
}
Field | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
colorCount |
64 | amount of colors in initial palette from which the swatches will be generated |
quality |
5 | Scale down factor used in downsampling stage. 1 means no downsampling. If maxDimension is set, this value will not be used. |
quantizer |
Quantizer.defaultQuantizer |
A Quantizer function |
generator |
Generator.defaultGenerator |
An Generator function |
maxDimension |
nil |
The max size of the image's longer side used in downsampling stage. This field will override quality . |
filters |
[] |
An array of Filter |
public typealias quantizer = (_ pixels: [UInt8], _ options: Vibrant.Options)->[Swatch]
public typealias generator = (_ swatches: [Swatch])->Palette
Returns true
if the color is to be kept.
public class Filter {
public typealias filterFunction = (_ red: UInt8, _ green: UInt8, _ blue: UInt8, _ alpha: UInt8)->Bool
var f: filterFunction
}
Name | Description |
---|---|
cb |
callback function. |
Helper class for change configurations and create a Vibrant
instance. Methods of a Builder
instance can be chained like:
Vibrant.from(src)
.quality(1)
.clearFilters()
// ...
.getPalette()
Sets opts.quality
to q
. Returns this Builder
instance.
Sets opts.colorCount
to n
. Returns this Builder
instance.
Sets opts.maxDimension
to d
. Returns this Builder
instance.
Adds a filter function. Returns this Builder
instance.
Removes a filter function. Returns this Builder
instance.
Clear all filters. Returns this Builder
instance.
Specifies which Quantizer
implementation class to use. Returns this Builder
instance.
Sets opts.generator
to generator
. Returns this Builder
instance.
Builds and returns a Vibrant
instance as configured.
Builds a Vibrant
instance as configured and calls its getPalette
method on a background thread. Calls cb
on main thread.
Builds a Vibrant
instance as configured and calls its getPalette
method on the main thread.
Represents a color swatch generated from an image's palette.
public typealias Vec3<T> = (T, T, T)
public typealias RGB = (r: UInt8, g: UInt8, b: UInt8)
public typealias HSL = (r: Double, g: Double, b: Double)
public typealias HSL = (r: Double, g: Double, b: Double)
public typealias HSL = (r: Double, g: Double, b: Double)
Internal use.
Name | Description |
---|---|
rgb |
[r, g, b] |
population |
Population of the color in an image |
Returns a hexadecimal value of the swatch
Returns an appropriate color to use for any 'title' text which is displayed over this Swatch
's color.
Returns an appropriate color to use for any 'body' text which is displayed over this Swatch
's color.
Utility methods. Internal usage.
Computes CIE delta E 1994 diff between lab1
and lab2
. The 2 colors are in CIE-Lab color space. Used in tests to compare 2 colors' perceptual similarity.
Compute CIE delta E 1994 diff between rgb1
and rgb2
.
Compute CIE delta E 1994 diff between hex1
and hex2
.
Gets a string to describe the meaning of the color diff. Used in tests.
Delta E | Perception | Returns |
---|---|---|
<= 1.0 | Not perceptible by human eyes. | "Perfect" |
1 - 2 | Perceptible through close observation. | "Close" |
2 - 10 | Perceptible at a glance. | "Good" |
11 - 49 | Colors are more similar than opposite | "Similar" |
50 - 100 | Colors are exact opposite | Wrong |
- This library uses code from ColorThiefSwift, mostly borrowing from their implementation of the modified median cut quantization (MMCQ) algorithm
- A majority of the rest was adapted from node-vibrant
