HSV←→HSL

HSV←→HSL

Converts back and forth between HSV and HSL.

I find it strange that they appear to be completely different, there's probably something I'm missing that will bring hsv2hsl down to the size of hsl2hsv.

Also see: hsl2rgb hsv2rgb

function hsv2hsl(hue,sat,val){
return[ //[hue, saturation, lightness]
//Range should be between 0 - 1
hue, //Hue stays the same
//Saturation is very different between the two color spaces
//If (2-sat)*val < 1 set it to sat*val/((2-sat)*val)
//Otherwise sat*val/(2-(2-sat)*val)
//Conditional is not operating with hue, it is reassigned!
sat*val/((hue=(2-sat)*val)<1?hue:2-hue),
hue/2 //Lightness is (2-sat)*val/2
//See reassignment of hue above
]
}
hsl2hsv=function(hue,sat,light){
sat*=light<.5?light:1-light;
return[ //[hue, saturation, value]
//Range should be between 0 - 1
hue, //Hue stays the same
2*sat/(light+sat), //Saturation
light+sat //Value
]
}
function hsv2hsl(a,b,c){return[a,b*c/((a=(2-b)*c)<1?a:2-a),a/2]}
function hsl2hsv(a,b,c){b*=c<.5?c:1-c;return[a,2*b/(c+b),c+b]}

You should at least take care to not divide by zero (e.g., when val = 0).
