Litmus
A .NET Api for Calculating the Average Color of the Screen
Introduction
Litmus is an API which is used to quickly get the Average Color or the Most Prominent color displayed on the screen.
Important Note
Currently, Litmus doesn't have the ability to detect the average color of the screen while playing a full screen game. To add support for this, we would need a way to read color data directly from the GPU framebuffer, which I don't currently know how to do. But, it's on the backlog.
Getting Started
Getting a Hold of It
You can access the NuGet package Here.
Getting the Average Color of the Screen
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ILitmus litmus = new DirectxColorProvider();
// Get the Average Color of the Screen
LitmusColor color = litmus.GetAverageColor();
Console.WriteLine("Red:{0}\nGreen:{1}\nBlue:{2}\n", color.Red, color.Green, color.Blue);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
Getting the Most Common Color on the Screen
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ILitmus litmus = new DirectxColorProvider();
// Get the Average Color of the Screen
LitmusColor color = litmus.GetMostCommonColor();
Console.WriteLine("Red:{0}\nGreen:{1}\nBlue:{2}\n", color.Red, color.Green, color.Blue);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
Issues/Feature Requests
Please add an entry to the issues section of the Repository. I would like to continue developing this API in way that is useful to other people.
