average() [1/2]

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

staticnoexcept

Returns the weighted average color between the two given colors.

Parameters

color1	The first color.
color2	The second color.
weight	The weighting factor

Returns

The average color.

Remarks

The alpha of color1 is conserved.

The 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 second color, while a value of 0.0 will return the first color.
