Installation
Drag the included Colours.h and Colours.m files into your project. They are located in the top-level directory. You can see a demo of how to use these with the included Xcode project as well.
<code>#import "Colours.h"</code> into the classes you want to use this category in and you're all set.
CocoaPods
<code>pod 'Colours'</code>
or, for Swift:
<code>pod 'Colours/Swift'</code>
NSColor
Colours supports <code>NSColor</code> out of the box! Just make sure you have the <code>AppKit</code> framework installed (it comes that way for a new application) and you will be set. This README uses UIColor for its examples, just substitute NSColor and the methods are all the same.
Swift
A Swift version of Colours now exists that contains everything in the Obj-C version except:
- Color Components Dictionary (use the tuples instead)
- Sorting/Comparing Colors
- Distance between Colors
Also, instead of dictionaries and arrays of color components, tuples are used instead. So instead of [someRedColor rgbaArray], you would use someRedColor.rgba() which gives you a tuple of four CGFloats like (1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0). To get just the red value, you would write someRedColor.rgba().r.
