fn_colorbyname

Contents

Syntax

[colornum colorname] = fn_colorbyname(colorval[,'strict'])

Description

Returns numerical value and name if it exists of color, passed either as
a value or a string.
If colorval does not represent a color, generates an error only if the
'strict' flag is used (otherwise it returns empty arrays).
Examples:
 [num name] = fn_colorbyname('r')        returns [1 0 0] and 'red'
 [num name] = fn_colorbyname([0 0 0])    returns [0 0 0] and 'black'
 [num name] = fn_colorbyname([.1 .3 .4]) returns [.1 .3 .4] and ''
