ColorMatrix


public class ColorMatrix
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.graphics.ColorMatrix


4x5 matrix for transforming the color and alpha components of a Bitmap. The matrix can be passed as single array, and is treated as follows:

  [ a, b, c, d, e,
    f, g, h, i, j,
    k, l, m, n, o,
    p, q, r, s, t ]

When applied to a color [R, G, B, A], the resulting color is computed as:

   R’ = a*R + b*G + c*B + d*A + e;
   G’ = f*R + g*G + h*B + i*A + j;
   B’ = k*R + l*G + m*B + n*A + o;
   A’ = p*R + q*G + r*B + s*A + t;

That resulting color [R’, G’, B’, A’] then has each channel clamped to the 0 to 255 range.

The sample ColorMatrix below inverts incoming colors by scaling each channel by -1, and then shifting the result up by 255 to remain in the standard color space.

   [ -1, 0, 0, 0, 255,
     0, -1, 0, 0, 255,
     0, 0, -1, 0, 255,
     0, 0, 0, 1, 0 ]

Public methods

equals

Added in API level 1
public boolean equals (Object obj)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

  • It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
  • It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
  • For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

Parameters
obj Object: the reference object with which to compare.

Returns
boolean true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

getArray
