fromPopulations static method

ColorPalette fromPopulations(Map<int, int> candidates, { int maxColors = 16, PaletteWeights weights = const PaletteWeights(), })

Builds a palette from quantized colors and their populations.

candidates maps an ARGB color to the number of source pixels it represented. The maxColors most populated candidates are kept and ranked; each of the six classic targets is then matched against them.

Implementation

static ColorPalette fromPopulations(
  Map<int, int> candidates, {
  int maxColors = 16,
  PaletteWeights weights = const PaletteWeights(),
}) {
  final swatches =
      candidates.entries
          .map((e) => PaletteSwatch(argb: e.key, population: e.value))
          .toList()
        ..sort((a, b) => b.population.compareTo(a.population));

  final trimmed = swatches.take(maxColors).toList(growable: false);
  final maxPopulation = trimmed.isEmpty
      ? 0.0
      : trimmed.first.population.toDouble();

  final targets = <String, PaletteSwatch>{};
  for (final target in PaletteTarget.all) {
    PaletteSwatch? best;
    var bestScore = -1.0;
    for (final swatch in trimmed) {
      final hct = Hct.fromInt(swatch.argb);
      final score = scoreCandidate(
        candidate: hct,
        population: swatch.population.toDouble(),
        maxPopulation: maxPopulation,
        target: target,
        weights: weights,
      );
      if (score > bestScore) {
        bestScore = score;
        best = swatch;
      }
    }
    if (best != null) {
      targets[target.name] = best;
    }
  }

  return ColorPalette._(trimmed, targets);
