#color (predefined symbol)
Type | Readable | Writeable | Constant |
color | Never | In the final section of coloring algorithms | No |
Direct coloring algorithms use this predefined symbol to return a color. This color is directly visible in the layer. To compute the color, direct coloring algorithms can use #z and #numiter just like normal coloring algorithms, and combine it with color parameters or colors from the gradient using the gradient function.
Before executing the coloring algorithm, #color is set to black, so that is the value that will be used if the coloring algorithm doesn’t change it.
Example:
#color = rgb(0.5, 0.8, 0.3)
Note: You cannot mix #color and #index in the same coloring algorithm.
