Choose a color Provides 2-dimensional selection and display of colors, representing hue along the horizontal axis and lightness along the vertical axis. A third color dimension, saturation, may be set by means of the saturation message. Cycling '74 Max U/I RGB List(0. -1.) TEXT_HERE Green (0. -1.) TEXT_HERE Blue (0. -1.) TEXT_HERE RGBA Color List Out TEXT_HERE Saturation (0. -1.) TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Output the current color values bang message causes output of the RGBA values of the current color at the selected (x,y) position on the 2-dimensional colorspace, taking into account the current saturation value. Set red color value In left inlet: Set the red color value (ignores values over 1), and cause output of all values.

Note: Unlike most Max objects, input to any one of the three inlets will re-calculate the current color location on the swatch, and trigger output. Set red color value Set the red color value (0.-1.), and cause output of all values. Set color values, cause output A list of three numbers between 0. and 1. sets the four RGBA color components (red, green, blue, alpha), refreshes the display and causes RGBA output. Set alpha value The word alpha, followed by a floating-point number between 0. and 1., will set the RGBA alpha (opacity) value. Set green color value Set the green color value (0.-1.), and cause output of all values. Set blue color value Set the red color value (0.-1.), and cause output of all values. Set green color value In middle inlet: Set the red color value (ignores values over 1), and cause output of all values.

Note: Unlike most Max objects, input to any one of the three inlets will re-calculate the current color location on the swatch, and trigger output. Set blue color value In right inlet: Set the red color value (ignores values over 1), and cause output of all values.

Note: Unlike most Max objects, input to any one of the three inlets will re-calculate the current RGBA color location on the swatch, and trigger output. Set color with an HSL list The word hsl, followed by a list of three numbers between 0. and 1., sets the color based on the given hue (x-axis), saturation, and lightness (y-axis) values. The swatch object converts these values to RGBA color values, refreshes the display, and causes output of the RGBA values. Select and output a color Clicking and dragging on the swatch object will calculate and output the RGBA color at the selected (x, y) position on the 2-dimensional (hue-lightness) colorspace, taking into account the current saturation value. Set color values with no output The word set, followed by a list of three numbers between 0. and 1. sets the four RGBA color components (red, green, blue, alpha) and refreshes the display without causing RGBA output. Set HSL color with no output The word sethsl, followed by a list of three numbers between 0. and 1., sets the color based on the given hue (x-axis), saturation, and lightness (y-axis) values and the refreshes the display. Unlike the hsl message the sethsl message does not output the corresponding RGBA values. Compatibility Toggles the number input and output of the swatch object to be in the range of 0.-1.0 floating-point values (0, default) or to old-style 0-255 integer values (1). Enable parameter mode handling Enables use of this object with Max for Live Parameters and allows for setting initial parameter values in the Max environment. Saturation TEXT_HERE Out left outlet: a list of four RGBA (red, green, blue, alpha) color values Out right outlet: the current saturation value (calculated from an RGB list input, or output directly after a saturation message)
