Yet Another Color Picker

Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl-yacp/ (BROKEN LINK)

bll 2020-8-19 : Now available on Sourceforge. RGB, HSL or HSV. 16, 24 and 32-bit colors.

bll 2017-4-23 : I dislike the default color picker that comes with Tk, and the other implementations did not appeal to me. I wrote a simple HSV color picker. It's not difficult to make this work with RGB or HSL (and I believe I have code available if you want it), but I don't think I ever got CIELUV working. 2018-1-2: reordered pre-selectable colors. 2018-4-22: added HSL and RGB.

yacp.tcl accepts the initial color from the command line, and outputs the new color (or initial color if closed) to stdout.

Examples:

tclsh yacp.tcl  # defaults to HSV
tclsh yacp.tcl -model hsl 
tclsh yacp.tcl -model rgb  # (-mode dynamic) same as Tk's color picker.
tclsh yacp.tcl -model rgb -mode static '#80a0a0'

Jeff Smith 2020-08-20 : Below is an online demo using CloudTk. This demo runs "Yet Another Color Picker" in an Alpine Linux Docker Container. It is a 27.4MB image which is made up of Alpine Linux + tclkit + Yet-Another-Color-Picker.kit + + libx11 + libxft + fontconfig + ttf-linux-libertine. It is run under a user account in the Container. The Container is restrictive with permissions for "Other" removed for "execute" and "read" for certain directories.
