| 4 | + |
| 5 | +With a seed color, you may create a dynamic color scheme using the |
| 6 | +`DynamicScheme` class and its subclasses. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Then, you can get color roles from the scheme using the `DynamicColor` class. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +## What a `DynamicScheme` is |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +A `DynamicScheme` object contains all the information you need to generate all |
| 13 | +color roles. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +It includes the following information: |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +- The source color (seed color) of the theme |
| 18 | + * `sourceColorArgb` is the color in ARGB format, and `sourceColorHct` is |
| 19 | + in HCT format. |
| 20 | +- The variant this scheme uses - `variant` |
| 21 | +- Whether the scheme is in light mode or dark mode |
| 22 | + * using the boolean `isDark` |
| 23 | +- The current contrast level |
| 24 | + * stored in `contrastLevel` as a `double` |
| 25 | + * `0.0` is the default contrast level |
| 26 | + * `0.5` is medium |
| 27 | + * `1.0` is high |
| 28 | + * `-1.0` is reduced |
| 29 | +- Six tonal palettes: |
| 30 | + * `primaryPalette` |
| 31 | + * `secondaryPalette` |
| 32 | + * `tertiaryPalette` |
| 33 | + * `neutralPalette` |
| 34 | + * `neutralVariantPalette` |
| 35 | + * `errorPalette` |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +A `DynamicScheme` object does not store the ARGB or HCT values of individual |
| 38 | +color roles; they are generated upon demand (see below for more information) |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +## Step 1 — Generating a scheme |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +### Method 1 — Using a variant |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +The easiest way to generate a scheme from a seed color is using a variant scheme |
| 45 | +constructor, such as `SchemeTonalSpot`. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +All you need is to specify: - a source color, as an `Hct` object; - a boolean |
| 48 | +indicating whether the scheme is in dark mode; - the contrast level. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +The following example uses an HCT object `hct` as seed, and generates a |
| 51 | +`SchemeTonalSpot` in light mode with default contrast. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +<section> |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +###### Dart |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +```dart |
| 58 | +final scheme = SchemeTonalSpot(sourceColorHct: hct, isDark: false, contrastLevel: 0.0); |
| 59 | +``` |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +###### Java |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +```java |
| 64 | +DynamicScheme scheme = new SchemeTonalSpot(hct, false, 0.0); |
| 65 | +``` |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +###### TypeScript |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +```typescript |
| 70 | +const scheme = new SchemeTonalSpot(hct, false, 0.0); |
| 71 | +``` |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +###### C++ |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +```cpp |
| 76 | +DynamicScheme scheme = SchemeTonalSpot(hct, false, 0.0); |
| 77 | +``` |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +###### Swift |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +```swift |
| 82 | +let scheme = SchemeTonalSpot( |
| 83 | + sourceColorHct: hct, |
| 84 | + isDark: false, |
| 85 | + contrastLevel: 0.0) |
| 86 | +``` |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +</section> |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +Currently the following variants are available: |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +* Content |
| 93 | +* Expressive |
| 94 | +* Fidelity |
| 95 | +* Fruit salad |
| 96 | +* Monochrome |
| 97 | +* Neutral |
| 98 | +* Rainbow |
| 99 | +* Tonal spot |
| 100 | +* Vibrant |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +### Method 2 — Specifying palettes |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +## Step 2 — Obtaining colors |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +To obtain a color from a dynamic scheme, use a `DynamicColor` object on a |
| 107 | +`DynamicScheme`. |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +Use the `getArgb` method to get the desired color as an integer in ARGB format, |
| 110 | +or the `getHct` method for the color as an `Hct` object. |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +Dynamic colors used in Material Design are defined in the |
| 113 | +`MaterialDynamicColors` class. Below are examples of obtaining the `primary` |
| 114 | +color from a given `scheme`. |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +<section> |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +###### Dart |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +```dart |
| 121 | +final argb = MaterialDynamicColors.primary.getArgb(scheme); |
| 122 | +final hct = MaterialDynamicColors.primary.getHct(scheme); |
| 123 | +``` |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +###### Java |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +```java |
| 128 | +MaterialDynamicColors materialDynamicColors = new MaterialDynamicColors(); |
| 129 | +int argb = materialDynamicColors.primary().getArgb(scheme); |
| 130 | +Hct hct = materialDynamicColors.primary().getHct(scheme); |
| 131 | +``` |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +###### TypeScript |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +```typescript |
| 136 | +const argb = MaterialDynamicColors.primary.getArgb(scheme); |
| 137 | +const hct = MaterialDynamicColors.primary.getHct(scheme); |
| 138 | +``` |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +###### C++ |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +```cpp |
| 143 | +Argb argb = MaterialDynamicColors::Primary().GetArgb(s); |
| 144 | +Hct hct = MaterialDynamicColors::Primary().GetHct(s); |
| 145 | +``` |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +###### Swift |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +```swift |
| 150 | +let argb = MaterialDynamicColors.primary.getArgb(scheme) |
| 151 | +let hct = MaterialDynamicColors.primary.getHct(scheme) |
| 152 | +``` |
