Beautiful Integration
Published by Dan February 2nd, 2006 in News, Plug-N-Play, ColourMod, InternetAlex Wayne at Beautiful Pixel has beautifully integrated the ColourMod PNP into his rich web application called, Canvarticles. Canvarticles is “a particle engine written using canvas and JavaScript.” It was created so that developers can add particle effects to their canvas creations. For those of you who are like me and didn’t know what canvas is, canvas is an HTML element in Web Applications 1.0. Some consider these extensions to HTML and the DOM to be HTML5.
ColourMod is used to modify the colours of the results of the particle engine. To see ColourMod in action, scroll down the right side of the page to the “Color” section. By clicking the radio button for “Color Range”, you are given two color boxes with a cooresponding hex value. By clicking these boxes, ColourMod opens up so that you can choose your colours. Also, under the “Rendering Section”, you can also use ColourMod to change the background colour.
If you are creating a next generation web application, consider using ColourMod for a simple, clean way for users to select the colours that they want.
Thank you for the kind words. And I found a few other scripts for color choosing, I tried a few on my own, but ultimately, ColourMod was the prettiest, cleanest and easiest to use. No regrets here, highly recommended.
