tint(value)

- v1: It is a number which determines the red or hue value relative to the current color range.
- v2: It is a number which determines the green or saturation value relative to the current color range.
- v3: It is a number which determines the blue or brightness value relative to the current color range.

The examples below illustrate the tint() function in p5.js:
Example 1:
function preload() { img = loadImage('sample-image.png'); currTintColor = color('gray'); } function setup() { createCanvas(600, 300); textSize(22); // Create a color picker for // the tint color colPicker = createColorPicker('green'); colPicker.position(30, 180) colPicker.input(changeTint); } function draw() { clear(); text("Select the color below to tint the"+ " image with that color", 20, 20); text("Original Image", 20, 50); // Draw image without tint image(img, 20, 60); text("Tinted Image", 200, 50); // Draw image with tint tint(currTintColor); image(img, 200, 60); // Disable tint for the next // draw cycle noTint(); } function changeTint() { // Update the current tint color currTintColor = colPicker.color(); } |
Output:
Example 2:
function preload() { img = loadImage('sample-image.png'); currTintAlpha = 128; } function setup() { createCanvas(600, 300); textSize(22); // Create a slider for // the alpha value of the tint alphaSlider = createSlider(0, 255, 128); alphaSlider.position(30, 180) alphaSlider.size(300); alphaSlider.input(changeTintAlpha); } function draw() { clear(); text("Move the slider to change the alpha"+ " value of the tint", 20, 20); text("Original Image", 20, 50); // Draw image without tint image(img, 20, 60); text("Tinted Image", 200, 50); // Draw image with tint and // current alpha value tint(0, 128, 210, currTintAlpha); image(img, 200, 60); // Disable tint for the next // draw cycle noTint(); } function changeTintAlpha() { // Update the current alpha value currTintAlpha = alphaSlider.value(); } |
