Color(colorstr|tuple)

Stores a color for use in graphing and control panel display. The object can be passed in lieu of a color name or RGB tuple anywhere a color is required; that is, in model.addBreed(), Goods.add(), and TimeSeriesPlot.addSeries().

This is not intended to be a fully-fledged color interface, and only provides the necessary functionality for Helipad internals. For conversions into other colorspaces and other utilities, use the functions in matplotlib.colors or colorsys.

Initialization Parameters

• color — str|tuple, required

  A hex string, a color name string (see the Matplotlib documentation for valid values), or an RGB tuple with ranges from 0.0 to 1.0.
