dms::Color

The Color class represents an RGBA color value. It can is derived from Vector4, and just adds a couple color-specific features. Classes that use colors (i.e. Material) treat them as Vector4s, so explicit use of the Color class is not required.

Description

Color(void)
Color(GLfloat r,GLfloat g,GLfloat b,GLfloat a)

The default constructor (with no arguments) creates the color (0,0,0,1) - black, with a solid alpha.

void apply(void) const

apply() calls glColor4fv with the color vector as its argument. e.g.:

Color purple(1, 0, 0.5, 1);
purple.apply();

static const Color White
etc.

The constant variables define a set of standard colors. The colors and their values are as follows:
