Methods
(static) calculateNonOverlappingSelections(selections, backgroundColor) → {Array.<selection>}
This method takes several selection objects -- ranges of start indices and lengths -- and determines if and split overlapping ranges into separate selections objects. It will also interpret the new color in the overlapping regions using PCCViewer.Util.layerColors. The non-overlapping selections from this function should be used when highlighting text inside marks to ensure the best display. See PCCViewer.Mark#highlightText.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
selections |
Array.<Object> | Object |
An array of objects or a single object that defines a highlight. Each object has the following properties:
|
backgroundColor |
string |
A valid 7-character Hexadecimal color string. The first letter must be a "#" symbol and the other six characters must be hexadecimal digits representing the red, green, and blue portions of the color. |
Throws:
-
-
If any of the selection objects have an invalid
startIndex
number, or the value is undefined. -
- Type
- Error

If any of the selection objects have an invalid
length

(static) convertPageRangeToArray(range, optionsopt) → {Array.<number>}
Converts the supplied page range to an array, where each element in the array is a page number. The returned array will be sorted ascending by page number and will not contain duplicates.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Attributes | Description | ||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
range |
string |
A string specifying page numbers or ranges. Valid values are any string using this format (specified using EBNF):
For example: |
|||||||||||||||||||||
options |
object | <optional> |
An object specifying validation options. Properties
|
Throws:
-
-
If pageRange does not conform to the supported format.
-
- Type
- Error
-
-
-
If pageRange specifies a range that is not within the bounds of
options.lowerLimit
andoptions.upperLimit
. -
- Type
- Error
-
Returns:
An array containing an element for each page number specified in the range.
- Type
- Array.<number>
Example
PCCViewer.Util.convertPageRangeToArray("1, 3-5"); // returns [1, 3, 4, 5]
PCCViewer.Util.convertPageRangeToArray("1, 3-5", {
lowerLimit: 1,
upperLimit: 6
}); // returns [1, 3, 4, 5]
PCCViewer.Util.convertPageRangeToArray("1, 3-100", {
lowerLimit: 1,
upperLimit: 6
}); // throws because the range goes beyond the upper limit

(static) layerColors(colors, backgroundColor) → {string}
This method takes an ordered list of colored layers, and calculates the flat color resulting from stacking all the layers.
Note: this stacking order calculation uses the W3C specification for simple alpha compositing, and is therefore not a complete color mixing solution. Instead, it calculates RGB color composition to browser specification.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
colors |
Array.<Object> | Object |
An array of objects or a single object that defines a color layer. Note that the first element in the array will be the topmost layer in the stacking order, and the last element will be the bottom-most layer. Each object has the following properties:
|
backgroundColor |
string |
A valid 7-character Hexadecimal color string. The first letter must be a "#" symbol and the other six characters must be hexadecimal digits representing the red, green, and blue portions of the color. |
Throws:
-
-
If any of the color objects have an invalid
color
Hex string, or the value is undefined. -
- Type
- Error
-
-
-
If any of the color objects have an invalid
opacity
number, or the value is undefined. -
- Type
- Error
-
-
-
If the backgroundColor argument is not a valid Hex string, or the value is undefined.
-
- Type
- Error
-
Returns:
The resulting flat color produced by stacking all of the layers on top of the background color. This value will be a 7-character Hexadecimal color.
- Type
- string
