scott100 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 it's a program that converts RGB into Hex colour codes for HTML, and the other way too. Microsoft Excel is required.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> After a 2 second search with google i found a site that does this for free, and no Excel is required CHIBI NINJA free 1.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 There's someone out there actually selling an Excel macro that converts RGB into hex? Good god, I'm working too hard.Any image editing program I've ever used has done that for me, I've never found myself wanting to buy an Excel macro just to do that.Come to think of it, I've never found myself wanting to buy an Excel macro to do anything.

scott100 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Actually, digging a little deaper here.The home page for MCi Group is, funnily enough: http://www.mci-maestro.co.ukI would therefore class this as a member advertising their products for profit and given that this is against forum rules, unacceptable.

justsomeguy Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Instead of banning the user or removing the post, how about we all just make fun of him instead for marketing an Excel macro.Let's market a tool to convert between binary and hex, and license it out on a per-user basis. I think we should use LISP to write it, and require that they run a LISP interpreter. Why are they so cheap?The programs shown above are relatively simple, and therefore programming costs are kept down. int r, g, b;cin >> r >> g >> b;cout << rgb2hex(r, g, b); That'll be $1 please.What is an "automotive units converter"? Is that like 1 engine = 2.7 seats = 3.8 tires? There are 1.7 windows to the radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Check it out, you can do it with PHP too: <?php$r = $_GET['r'];$g = $_GET['g'];$b = $_GET['b'];$r_h = dechex($r);$g_h = dechex($g);$b_h = dechex($b);echo "The HTML color code for ({$r}, {$g}, {$b}) is #{$r_h}{$g_h}{$b_h}. That'll be \$1 please.";?> convert.php?r=192&g=0&b=128This is my open source color converter. I'll license it to you for $9.99 per user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowboard01 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I think that there should be a little box to show what colour you just typed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
