Gauge and LightGauge source available + Color util

June 4th, 2007 by Alex

I’ve finally got around to publishing the source for the Light Gauge, it can be found here. The zip file also includes the source for the original Gauge component.

In the process of creating the Light Gauge, I came across a bit of a hole in the Flash/Flex class libraries. There is no proper color class that handles things like RGB-HSV conversion etc. So I’ve started on the beginnings of a Color class, At the moment it just does a few simple things like RGB->HSV and some basic functions to help with creating gradients. On the to-do list are things like CYMK, complementary colors, HSL, color temperature, and more. It can be found here.

To demonstrate the HSV capabilities of the class, there is also a Color Explorer.

    Hello,
    Would you please state what license applies to the code you post here?
    Is it fair to use and extend it in an open-source application?

    Cheers,
    Philip Flip Kromer

    I’m inclined to go with a “do whatever the hell you want” style of license. So I’ll use the MIT License.

    So it is fair to assume that you can use and modify the component in any application. I have updated the source code for the Gauges to include a license file.

    It would be great to know where the components are being used so I can see them in action. So send me a link to your project when it’s done.

    Nice job. How do you set the begin/end bar widths like you can in your demo (the one that lets you play around with various settings)? By the way, is the source for the demo available?
