Usage

Very similar pattern to its parent Image-Pal, but asyncrhonous to accomodate events.

  const getColors = require('image-pal-sharp/lib/hsluv');
  // OR if you want the non-human-perceptual version based on pure RGB
  // const getColors = require('image-pal-sharp/lib/rgb');
  
  getColors(options, (err, colors) => {
    if (err) return void console.error('oops!', err.stack || err);

    colors.forEach(color => {
      console.log(color.rgb); // [ 100, 100, 100 ]
      console.log(color.alpha); // 255
      console.log(color.hex); // #abc123
      // below props only available if using `hsluv` version
      console.log(color.hsluv); // [ 1, 50, 100 ]
    });
  });

Options

Large images are not necessary for computing accurate palettes. It's highly recommended to use default settings for high performance and quality results.

| Name | Type | Default | Desc | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | srcPath | String | (optional) | If you're supplying your own image path. srcPath OR srcBuffer are required | | srcBuffer | Buffer | (optional) | Supply your own raw image bytes. srcPath OR srcBuffer are required | | width | Number | 100 | Maximum width of canvas in pixels. Only width OR height should be set, not both, to respect aspect ratio of source image | | height | Number | undefined | Maximum height of canvas in pixels. Only width OR height should be set, not both, to respect aspect ratio of source image |

Additional tuning options can be found at Image-Pal.
