Recipe 10.14.
Changing Contrast
Problem
You want to adjust the contrast of a display
object.
Solution
Use a contrast matrix and apply it with a
ColorMatrixFilter
object.
Discussion
As mentioned in
Recipe 10.13, you can adjust the brightness by either scaling
or offsetting color values. You can change contrast by both scaling
and offsetting color values at the
same time. The following matrix describes a generic contrast
matrix:
a 0 0 0 b
0 a 0 0 b
0 0 a 0 b
0 0 0 1 0
You can calculate the scale and offset values
from one contrast value by using the following equations:
a = value * 11
b = 63.5 (value * 698.5)
You can use the
ascb.filters.ColorMatrixArrays.getContrastArray( ) method to
construct a contrast array given the contrast value. The effective
range for the contrast value is from 0 to 1:
sampleSprite.filters = [new ColorMatrixFilter(ColorMatrixArrays.getContrastArray(1))];
