HSV to RGB solution

[SliiX]

Hello! I have been working on a different method for converting HSV to RGB and I figured I would share it.
I was also wonder if there was a solution to shifting 3 return values other than using that if-statement block at the bottom?

Code: Select all

local ceil = math.ceil
local abs = math.abs

local function clamp(v, min, max)
    if v < min then return min end
    if v > max then return max end

    return v
end

function HSV(h, s, v)
    local vert = ceil(h / 120)
    local rat = abs(((h / 60) - 2 * vert))
    
    -- arc to vertex ratios along with extra channel
    local r, g, b = clamp(rat, 1 - s, 1), clamp(2 - rat, 1 - s, 1), (1 - s * v)
    
    -- vertex shift
    if vert == 1 then return r, g, b end
    if vert == 2 then return b, r, g end
    if vert == 3 then return g, b, r end
end

Code: Select all

r, g, b = vert==1 and r,g,b or vert==2 and b,r,g or g,b,r
return r, g, b

(nonsense)

My hand went straight through my head when I facepalmed.

Code: Select all

r, g, b = select(4 - vert, g, b, r, g, b)
return r, g, b

However, select() breaks traces, so it's not very recommended. The `if` version will probably perform better. I'd remove the last `if`, though: assume that if it's not 1 or 2, it must be 3.

Also, clamp() could be improved:

Code: Select all

local min, max = math.min, math.max

local function clamp(v, vmin, vmax)
  return min(max(v, vmin), vmax)
end

which compiles to faster code.

Maybe also the
h = h%360
for some situations, where h can be any value as
h = h + dt to change the hue by the time.

Code: Select all

r, g, b = vert==1 and r,g,b or vert==2 and b,r,g or g,b,r
return r, g, b

that is quite an interesting solution, I might try that. Although I think the if statements are easier on the eyes personally.
Also broke when shifting to vertex 2

That select function is an interesting take, but, it broke on the second vertex, and on the third it didn't return one of the color values.
Also I already tried that clamp function, and the min/max method appears to be slightly slower when I timed it.

I realized I forgot to incorporate the value, I also made some slight changes.

Code: Select all

local ceil = math.ceil
local abs = math.abs

local function clamp(v, min, max)
    if v < min then return min end
    if v > max then return max end

    return v
end

function HSV(h, s, v)
    v = v or 1; s = (1 - s) * v or 0

    local vert = ceil(h / 120)
    local rat = abs((h / 60) - 2 * vert)

    -- arc to vertex ratios along with extra channel
    local r, g = clamp(rat * v, s, 1), clamp((2 - rat) * v, s, 1)

    -- vertex shift
    if vert == 1 then return r, g, s end
    if vert == 2 then return s, r, g end
    return g, s, r
end

We can use the zigzag function (but with clamp):

I think it broke because it wasn't parenthesized correctly; this might be better:

Code: Select all

r, g, b = vert==1 and r,g,b or (vert==2 and b,r,g or g,b,r)
