sorry if this has been covered before, but I must say I've found the following quite confusing : color="cyan" is not in fact equivalent to color='c'
in colors.py : Commands which take color arguments can use several formats to specify the colors. For the basic builtin colors, you can use a single letter - b : blue - g : green - r : red - c : cyan - m : magenta - y : yellow - k : black - w : white in ColorConverter : colors = { 'b' : (0.0, 0.0, 1.0), 'g' : (0.0, 0.5, 0.0), 'r' : (1.0, 0.0, 0.0), 'c' : (0.0, 0.75, 0.75), 'm' : (0.75, 0, 0.75), 'y' : (0.75, 0.75, 0), 'k' : (0.0, 0.0, 0.0), 'w' : (1.0, 1.0, 1.0), } we are told 'c' is short for cyan. Yet color="cyan" is not equivalent to color='c' 'cyan' : '#00FFFF' In [50]: rgb2hex((0.0, 0.75, 0.75)) Out[50]: '#00bfbf' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
