hvc2mnsl: Converts a hue, chroma and value to a Munsell colour

In munsell: Utilities for Using Munsell Colours

Description

Takes separate specifications of hue, value and chroma and returns the text specification of that colour.

Usage

hvc2mnsl(hue, value = NULL, chroma = NULL, ...)

Arguments

hue	a character vector of Munsell hues, or a 3 column data frame containing the hue value and chroma levels
value	a numeric vector of values
chroma	a numeric vector of chromas
...	passed on to check_mnsl. Use fix = TRUE to fix "bad" colours

Details

Munsell colours are specified by hue, value and chroma. They take a form like "5PB 5/10" where the first characters represent the hue, followed by a space then the value and chroma separated by a "/". In this package value should be an integer in 0:10 and chroma an even number at most 24. Note that not all possible specifications result in representable colours. Regular recycling rules apply.

Value

a character string specification of a hex colour
