public ColorScheme()

Method Details

createList

public abstract ColorList createList(int size) throws OperationFailedException

Creates a sequence of related colors.

Parameters:

size - the size of the list

Returns:

a newly created list with colors

Throws:

OperationFailedException

colorForEachIndex

public ColorIndex colorForEachIndex(int numberColors) throws OperationFailedException

Assigns a color to each index value from a list of size numberColors.

This allows non-contiguous indices to each use a unique-ish color.

Indices will be assigned a unique color until the list has no more unique colors, at which point they will be reused.

Beware that as each index is remembered in a hash-map, this can become inefficient for a large number of indices.

Parameters:

numberColors - the size of the list from which colors are selected

Returns:

a newly created index

Throws:

OperationFailedException
