average() [2/2]

static color xtd::drawing::color::average ( const color &  color1, const color &  color2, double  weight, bool  average_alpha  )

staticnoexcept

Returns the weighted average color between the two given colors.

Parameters

color1	The first color.
color2	The second color.
weight	The weighting factor
average_alpha	if true alpha was compute to; otherwise the alpha result is the alpha of color1

Returns

The average color.

Remarks

The alpha, red, green and blue values are averages using the following formula:

color = color1 * (1 - weight) + color2 * weight;

Thus, a weight value of 1.0 will return the first color, while a value of 0.0 will return the second color.
