adjust_colour(rgb, desaturation_amount, transparency_amount)
to reduce saturation or increase transparency of an RGB colour
Parameters:
rgb (color)
desaturation_amount (float) : 0 means no desaturation (colours remains as-is), and 1 means full desaturation (colour turns grey). Can also be used inversely with negative numbers
transparency_amount (float) : How much more transparent the default transparency should become. E.g. with a value of 0.5, a transparency of 0 becomes 50 and 40 becomes 70. A value of 1 makes it fully transparent, en -1 fully opaque.
Returns: color with adjusted saturation and transparency
method apply_default_palette(self, palette_name)
Some nice looking colour palettes, consisting of 6 gradient colours, are already defined here and can be quickly applied to the Palette class
Namespace types: Palette
Parameters:
self (Palette)
palette_name (string) : Currently there are 4 6-coloured palettes available: "GYTS flux signal", "GYTS purple", "GYTS flux filter" and "GYTS maroon"
Returns: None, as it populates the Palette class with pre-defined colours
method get_colour(self, colour_no, transparency)
Retrieves colour from the palette and possibly changes transparency if set
Namespace types: Palette
Parameters:
self (Palette)
colour_no (int) : from the palette
transparency (int) : to possibly change the default transparency of the palette
Returns: colour
method get_dynamic_colour(self, x, mid_point, colour_lb, colour_ub, trend_lookback, use_rate)
Retrieves a colour based on strength and direction of the passed series
Namespace types: Palette
Parameters:
self (Palette)
x (float) : the input data series
mid_point (float) : value as a cutoff point where the bullish/bearish colour scenario
colour_lb (float) : value (lower bound) where to apply the bearish colour at full strength
colour_ub (float) : value (upper bound) where to apply the bullish colour at full strength
trend_lookback (int) : how much bars back to check if there was a consistent move into a certain direction, otherwise a the neutral colour from the centre of the palette will be used.
use_rate (bool) : whether to use the rate (proportional difference with previous `x` value) or the input series `x` directly
Returns: colour
Palette
Fields:
transparency (series__integer)
palette (array__color)
